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?

    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.

    Sources…!?!?! What a vague click bait article.  

    Haven’t you heard about journalism now? You don’t need to name a source, as long as you put the word in your article

    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

    And if he does go to WA, one silver lining will be Kane having a cry over it 😁

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
