    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. 
     

    From WA yes

    Spends all his time in Darwin for obvious reasons

    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? 

    Did the bike have a seat? I'd say no

    IMV, it's time we adopted a model closer to what's used in the US in terms of player movement. 

    Much bigger names than Clayton Oliver & Christian Petracca have moved clubs over there.

    LeBron, Shaq, Shohei Ohtani...the fans hurt, lash out and pine for their lost stars but they move on and stick with their teams. 

    To balance the power between clubs and players, clubs should be able to trade contracted players wherever they wish. 

    Clauses to prevent/control this outcome are commonly included in long term contracts for the big stars. Implementing this will have players and agents thinking about this risk when penning longterm deals and stars won't be so quick to wantaway when contracted else a CP5 could find himself at GW$

    Here's a radical suggestion: Everyone shuts up, knuckles down, grows up and puts their ego aside for the team and for their own careers. 

    We need stability, and that means people get on with the job of winning. Forget changing Pert. Forget changing Richardson. Trac stays. Kozzie stays. Oliver stays. Forgive the wrongs and show some maturity. 

    Yeah, someone is homesick. So what? Get a real problem...

    Cooney is a complete numbskull

    Watch our membership disappear down the drainpipe if any of this tripe happens - Jack Higgins ? Just wtf 🤬 

    I thought it was painful watching our season slowly get worse but all this trade talk of our elite players and apparent lack of unity is frankly depressing 

    Hopefully it’s all just BS

    Why Port Adelaide?

    So over all this garbage. Koz, Clarrie and Trac are in the privileged position of being able to play the game they love for a lot of money. They all signed contracts. They can just harden the f up, honour their contracts and play their guts out for the team and their team mates. They don’t own the game, they are just a part of it.

    Unfortunately keeping things simple is very very complicated.

    Just because he wants it, doesn't mean it'll happen.

    Especially if Houston is saying no thanks I'm not coming to Melbourne.

    If he does intend to request a trade, I don't think the request would come before the Best & Fairest.

    His management wouldn't put Kozzy in an awkward situation like that.

    You'd hope so, unless he has Trac's management.

    I will keep my powder dry until I hear it from the horses mouth or at least the clubs, same with Clayton & Tracc as this would be the biggest trade deal in living memory. Oh by the way How would they get it done.???? Gunna be a lot of egg on a lot of faces me thinks.

    Hypothetical - if Kozzy wants out, ends up at Fremantle, Andrew Brayshaw comes to Melbourne in a trade (rumoured to want out if Warner ends up there)

    This is where Houston would’ve come in handy in a trade with Port had we not scared him off.

    Geez if this is true, we’re going to be a seriously bland on field product without the mercurial Kozzie next year.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
