Darwin

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 

 

Kozzy will officially ask for a trade to Port Adelaide this week

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.

How on earth do they get the deal done?

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. 

Kozzie to Port , Houston to NM. We NM 1st rounder then we get Peatling from GWS.

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
