Kozzy Homesick & Wants to Leave?

He'll definitely leave at some point and I have no doubt about that.

Whether if that's the end of this year or when he's contract runs out, either way, we'll be fairly compensate if the right deal is there that suits us.

    Given he’s contracted to 2027, the West Australian are getting waaaaaay ahead of themselves. 

    I do doubt that Kozzy will be a one-club player but we aren’t trading him at the end of 2025 with 2 years to go. Look at Harry Petty, things can change quickly.

    At the earliest, we could use him in a trade for Harley Reid when he comes back to Melbourne in 2 years. But only if he reeaaaally wants to go west. No way we trade him this year.

    Did his manager say this?

    Because a manager is always a beacon of truth and speaks for the benefit of ‘fans’ and not his client, yeah?

    Win games and all this nonsense goes away quickly, Kossie stays happy as does Trac and co.

    Media maggot garbage again, and all because of an incorrect reporting in the previous year when a Captain of an AFL side feigned injury, and caused an interrupted start to this season.

    You can still win games and be happy at the same time and leave all at the same time. Just ask Alex Neale Bullen.

    He clearly he wants to be around more extended family and me personally have no issues with at all even though he is my favourite player on the list and someone that gets me more excited since Jurrah, Farmer and Davey.

    If he leaves and we get great compensation then that’s footy. We hold the upper hand over the next 2 seasons and if we can get George on the list who knows.

    There is no doubt that Kozzie would like to play his footy in WA and that Freo are aware of this. A trade request was close this year so I’d said it’s likely next year.

    Kozzie is super close with Roy George. They’re essentially related so it will be interesting to see if his presence at the club helps. 

     “No doubt” ????? As a famous ranga fish n chip shop owner once said ploise explain

    Roy is Kozzie’s biological uncle. They’re super close as you say. But in terms of teammates it’s Ricky Mentha who will figure largely in Kozzie’s decision to stay with us, IMHO.

    The amount of opinion stated as fact in this thread is ridiculous, even for Demonland standards.  This story has been swirling around since he joined the club and he hasn't gone anywhere.  And as yet, there has never been a credible source given for the remours.

    Given he spent the Christmas break in NZ, not in WA or SA, he doesn't seem desperately homesick to me.

    I for one am already looking forward to the Fremantle 2026 death ride when we hold their future first round pick 

    Let’s hope the sequel is just as good as the original

    He told those close to him that he’d like to play his footy in front of his family with the Dockers in WA. I’d rather not divulge anymore if that’s ok.

    This is impossible - he was traded to Port Adelaide two years ago!

    2026 and 2027 future 1sts, thanks - teams can trade two years in advance as of the end of this year, i believe, and while i don't think he'll be leaving to flagmantle at the end of the season, that'd be my opening requirement

    at a minimum

    i don't think it's too surprising that he might want to do this, but there's a lot of obstacles in the way to make it happen

    Firstly I know nothing, but the article is likely a management tactic to put a stake in the ground. Plenty of time for the two clubs to start putting together a deal that will satisfy all parties. Gives Freo plenty of time to work on other deals / contracts to find the cap space and picks to make it happen. If however they are into Warner, it’s really hard to see how that gets done. 

    If Kozzy asked for a trade end of last season (or was contemplating it ) it wouldn’t be  far fetched that we asked for another year given what was going on and also a chance to convince him to stay.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
