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

Have seen screenshots of the cover letter that had been written up by his Manager

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.

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.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
