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.

    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

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
