Already justifying why they “won’t go for Kosi even though he is gettable”

    Sam Edmund 💩really thinks that Kozzzy is thinking about going west. “He’s good mates with Shai Bolton and they socialise together outside of footy.  Shai says hey mate, I’m going back home, why not join me.  So Kozzy loves the Melbourne Football Club but not Melbourne the city”.  FFS.  So they’ve all got Trac on 12-month waitlist to depart and for each year now there’s going to be three weeks at least of Kozzzy and Clarry rumours.

    Sam Edmund is kidding himself with the latest on Kozzy wanting to join Shai Bolton in WA

    For a start, Shai has never come up to Darwin when Kozzy spends time with his little family.

    FWIW I was told that same story about a month ago by one of my freo mates who usually has good info. Story goes that they had caught up and Shai brought up Kozzie joining him at freo. Kozzie's management then contacted freo to gauge their interest but couldn't really commit because of their work on Baker and Warner. No actual trade request was ever put in but I wouldn't rule it out just yet. Don't think we'll trade him even if he does ask though.

    Same guy also reckons that Freo's Switkowski was going to request a trade here (unrelated to Kozzie stuff) but the Trac stuff gave him cold feet.

    I once saw Eddie Betts jogging down the street in Darwin. I didn't immediately realise who it was, because he was running on uneven broken concrete next to the main road with all the exhaust fumes and you don't think about AFL players being so close to the equator anyway, but I gave him the old-mate nod and he gave back a knowing smile. My conclusion at the time, after I realised it was 'the' Eddie pounding the footpath, was that it definitely had something to do with Wade Derksen, but now when I think about it a bit more deeply it probably had something more to do with Pickett and Shai Bolten being mates. I was on a bicycle though, so who knows?

    How ironic that Petracca will end up as the cause of a year of missed trades. 
     

    Houston and Switta could have helped his cause a significantly more than Tom Campbell and Wade Derksen - I wouldn’t have wanted pick 5 used but I’m sure there was other ways

    We can sit around and blame Trac for this…but it looks more and more likely he was drawing a line in the sand that needed to be drawn. It we want to point fingers it should probably be in the Oliver direction. And the fact we let managing him get so out of hand.

    From a football club perspective, Oliver was playing up and being bratty, however he was only doing what 80% of 26-27 year olds do every weekend. Sounds like he was led down the garden path by others or at least not alone.

    What Trac did was a very different kettle of fish, he deliberately sabotaged a very large operation to suit himself. And I still think he’ll walk for 2026 anyway

    I don’t know details but if the dees are looking to offload perhaps the best player I’ve seen since flower in the red and blue then  I’m pretty sure it wasn’t  “ what 80% of 26-7 year olds are doing” .  It may be a choice between trac and oliver… i don’t know. Honestly speculation is pointless. Just saying that pointing at Trac is easy and I think we’re all seeing now the issues he was pointing at have been running quite  deep.

    I know what I’d like to shut the door on: it’s not a Pickett trade. Edmund’s typing fingers maybe

    This is terrible advice. What if Warner wants to stay in Sydney next year? What if West Coast shoot up the ladder next year and become a desirable destination? What if Andrew Brayshaw wants to go back to Victoria at the end of next year, which would then potential give Freo new capital to trade for Warner?

    You can't hope on a "maybe" in the future when you have the opportunity to gain guaranteed talent now. Bolton should immediately make them a finals team in 2025, while Kozzy should make them genuinely scary.

    Imagine if we never went after May, Lever or Langdon because Jeremy Cameron was speculated to become available sometime.

    Media just making assumptions that Shai and Koz are close when they are not

    More chance of Koz requesting a trade to GC as his brother in law is Ben Long

    I’m on the ‘I don’t mind if we trade Oliver camp’ and yes S.Neale has caught my eye.

    No way would I want to trade Pickett.
     

    I think Trac will still try and leave next year and if he does I hope it’s a team like the Saints and not a big club like he wants. Pick 7 is a good starting point but I can’t think of many players I’d want from them that they’d be happy to let go for him.

    As if anyone including Edmund has been shutting the door on this, they're the ones ramming it down our throats.

    I'd take the Geelong deal if on table

    If we fall even lower in 2025 then Trac will go hard for a trade

    2025 is a make-or-break season for the FC

    It’s more about ensuring he can’t type anything for a bit. Duct tape his gob too to prevent any distaction based article 

    some time in a sensory deprivation tank might help but that implies he has some sense to be deprived of

    As would I. I think it’s time to move from Oliver. I think both club and himself would benefit from a fresh start from each other. 
    I reckon Trac has eyes for Collingwood so all we can hope for they bomb out worse than us and have a few retire to make him think twice. Then again, after next season if he still doesn’t want to be here then move him on to a deal to ANY club that suits us. 
     

    This trade and draft period is so important for this club to get it right. I would be firm on making Koz also stay another year if he opted out this year.

    Kozzys home is absolutely in WA - Quairiding. 
     

    It’s true that he is homesick and has some genuine reasons for wanting to be in Perth. 
     

    it’s also true that he loves the club, coach and playing for Melbourne.

    Yes I know it’s WA. Was just a joke.

    Most of his time off he spends in Darwin which I would have thought would be spend in WA

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
