Darcy is now on a contract that most wouldn’t touch.

Takes 1 mark a game and kicked 4 goals in a season.

Slow, heavy, injury prone, can’t play forward and 6 more years at about $1m a year.

Enjoy your time at the Dockers Sean.

I'm sure he is.

Starting with Brayshaw, would not bat an eyelid if he went! Gets reported and rubbed out too much. His ommisions in first 4 games are crucial.)

Yes early in his career but he's changed his play a lot, so I don't really agree.

Latest suspension was an absolute travesty. Moore slid low to take Kozzys legs out. 

Moore should have copped the suspension. Koz just braced for impact.

And yes it will definitely hurt us at the start of the season but it definitely wasn't his fault

I think it is one of the most pathetic suspensions I have ever seen.

One second before impact there would have been contact with Moore's stomach, as they both ran in for a loose ball.

Then inexplicably Moore drops to his knees.

The Collingwood supporting Tribunal Chairman struck again.

Yep, Christian is an absolute joke as the MRO.

Was actually talking about the Tribunal Chairman, Gleeson, who is an admitted staunch Pies fan.

Personally I am not fretting over anything that I cannot control, I’m going to enjoy going to the footy with my family members and surrounding supporters and barrack for the boys like my life depends on it I will enjoy the Demon Army over to my right and hopefully enjoy my 4n20 pie, get a seat in the Rydder Room at 1/2 time and hopefully see us win a final or three in ‘25. I will love Kozzie whilst he is in the Red n Blue and not so much if he’s not.

We lack a small forward with Kozzy, let alone without him. 

An elite small forward is a desperate list need if not 2 of them if Kozzy departs at any point over the next few years.

Agreed. We should go hard at one in the offseason even if Kozzy stays

Agree somewhat, but the hawks went for Ginnivan and then picked up Watson (note we would’ve taken Watson at the next pick). We do have to pull the trigger on someone we think can be a 30+ goal kicker as a small forward

I'm thinking is poor Christian  intellectually incapable of filling his brief.

But it is the old fogeys club.

When Maynard gets nothing for ending a career and Kozzie gets 3 for an unlucky bump, the system is stuffed.

The BS technicalities applied to get big club’s players off like Cripps, who ended a Lions’ season, are symptomatic of a money above all else based sport.

It's a blow that we drafted for needs in 2019 and 1. Jackson is gone. 2 Kozzie might be out the door.

We obtained good compensation for Jackson but he would have made a big difference in 23. The compensation is just starting to get going.

That the club has been silent on Gleesons obvious conflict - most specifically the Maynard case - has turned me right off the club. Shockingly soft.

Dare we say that there is an AFL CULTURE, and not just a Carlton Club crudeness.

A pencil sharpener if ever I'm lead to believe.

No where did I say they do. Just because they don’t “grow on trees” doesn’t make it any less of a need…

[censored], they’re everywhere

We were very interested in small forward Joe Berry from last year's draft who went to Port Adelaide.

Jason Taylor and his team made several trips up the border here to Wangaratta to interview over the course of the year.

Maybe worth keeping an eye on over the next few years.

Just like chicken man !

Back to Kozzy if we do well and get to a preliminary, if he does go, we will get VG compensation given he has a three week holiday, it's time for a couple of others to show us what they have,

If he wants to go, I guess you can't stop him.  Lets win the flag, then if he wants to go, let the WA clubs pay top dollar for him.


I luv Kossy, but the season hasn't even started and already i'm sick of this thread. 

I know it won't stop, so i'm opting out for my own sanity.

We have to hope that Ricky and Roy are up to it and Roy gets onto the list.

That then would give us the small forward depth, with Kozzie as number 1 of course.

I have this feeling about Roy, if he can get on the list and get fully fit and totally committed, he appears to have that special talent.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
