Your credibility is lower than Sam McClure's right now.  It's hard to believe anything you say.

Sorry, can't agree.

Which is a pretty sad indictment on McClure!

    Kozzie was in Bunbury to play in a carnival game last weekend with the clubs blessing along with Neville Jetta.

    Houston himself said he was a Dee until Trac decided to be a princess

    Are you referring to his response to Maher and Gaze on SEN, SS22?

    I recommend another listen then: he wanted to come home, not to a specific club, at the end of the year, Hinkley supported this, his manager then put to him the possibility of a specific destination, and he rejected it because 'throughout the year there was a little bit of unrest at Melbourne, it seemed, and it probably wasn't the best thing for me to do and I'd rather not go there'.

    So, he never was a Dee, and for not-specific reasons. According to himself.

    As Paul Connors said Melbourne were never giving up a top 5 pick.

    Melbourne had him on the hook. I’m glad he jumped off but he was most certainly on.

    Well, there was evidently a hook cast, with his Manager then dangling off it...

    My post was only an attempt to clarify what Houston said, in response to what it was said he said.

    It's interesting the breadth of opinions on Houston, and (the many?) other recruitment options. I think I'm in your camp on this one.

    If you want to go around claiming you are quoting what was said then please get it right. Here is actually what he said. 

    "My Manager said Melbourne are keen and I think we can get you home and we can keep it quiet.

    “I guess throughout the year there was a bit of unrest at Melbourne it seemed,” Houston told SEN’s The Run Home.

    “I let my manager know that it probably wasn’t the best thing for me – I’d probably rather not go there and that sort of opened everything right up and that’s when it opened things up for everyone else and I had to go through the whole process again.”

    What are you talking about when you say I recommend another listen. 

    It's clear from this quote that he was on to go to Melbourne when his Manager said it but then throughout the year there was a bit of unrest and then he told his Manager it wasn't the best thing for him and that's when it opened things up for everyone else and he says I had to go through the whole process again.

     Actually your question should be why are we talking about Houston full stop. 
    I would reply sorry you’re right. I got sucked in. 
    Then I would say why are we talking in a Kozzie forum titled him wanting to go home when he hasn’t.

    Bit he was according to all reputable journos going to go to US until the Petracca saga.

    That is undeniable that he favoured us 3 mths ago then changed his mind.

    Hope he stays.

    A club can't limit itself to picking only local players but it if it's a choice between two similar players, it's getting to the point to pick the player in the same state.

    Love you Kozzie. Must be hard for him with a young family.

    Time to put this thread to bed until next year, need to concentrate on those that are joining our club in the near future. So glad that Kozzie ended up staying, actually very happy that Kozzie never actually put in a request for transfer Nor Nominated another club. Let’s hope that MFC can find a suitable scenario for Kozz and family that will get them home when needed and that he and family feel really secure and surrounded by a loving family club that we can all feel proud of.

    Onto football matters, one of Kozzie’s goals next season is not to get booked with the MRO.

    His absence will absolutely cost us at least one game early next year due to his ability to kick a 3, 4 or 5 goal haul every now and then. And we’re not in a position to be throwing away games.

    Fremantle Dockers in box seat to land homesick Melbourne Demons star Kysaiah Pickett after 2025 season

    Sorry to be 'that person', just wondering if anyone without pay wall can post what this is about? I assume it'll be click-bait, but interested if anything new here or just re-hashed manure?

    it'll be the same story as every year; kozi is homesick and wants to go home to sa...no, wait...wa...no, wait, sa...maybe the nt?

    he's contracted til the end of 2027; if he wants to go he wants to...at the end of the year

    It will sell papers in the west.  They cant land him and the dodger from the swans.  Would take 3 first rounders.

    Also, he has NO interest in going home, with his partner and her family from Melb (as i understand it)….

    So.. F off click baiters

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
