Kozzy Homesick & Wants to Leave?

This homesickness angle is a giant Rort! I fully believe that the element might exist, but the way it works if you are an AFL player is this, If you sign a long term contract ( like Kozzy) on good coin then you are BOUND to honour the terms of the deal.PERIOD! Freo and anyone else can park of, and Brayshaw can just shut up! Kozzy is signed for another 3 years and he is a Demon throughout! Time for players to understand and honour contracts!

    The media I believe are muckraking on this one.  Interesting how the headlines were very selective about Kozzy's quote - "I'm contracted there", yet, they deliberately left out of the headline what was following - "I'm contracted there.  I'm having fun at Melbourne, I love the club."  Paints a very different perspective, doesn't it?

    Also I got intel over the weekend that the texts Kozzy sent to his friends in Perth were sent last year, and was referring to playing in the indigenous team against Freo.  Again, paints a very different perspective.

    Would hate to see him go and or Judd leave however if home is really where they need to be we should absolutely be getting on the Harley Reid front now.

    I think people have their head in the sand if they think he doesn’t want to leave. He clearly does. Where there is smoke etc.

    But we don’t have to cave. He is contracted for 3 more years. He is only 23. His value to the club is huge - he is a fan fave. He is happy with the club itself and this is not the first time he has had homesickness (for WA, rather than SA this time). We know that his family is well supported in Melbourne (sure, he would probably have better support in WA). And he seemingly only wants to go to Freo, which is very different to Nibbler and Houston. His mates Walters and Narkle will probably be done at Freo this year or next. And what does Freo have to offer? Two picks around 15-18. No thanks.

    The club simply has to make a stand and not cave to the media. Keep supporting him to stay in Melbourne happy, as he was when he signed the contract, with lots of opportunities to visit family and friends. I think Peter Rhode is his manager (?) so not in one of those big management groups who pressure clubs into dealing contracted players.

    If Judd leaves I can see him in west coast colours more than Freos. Harley and Judd are very close I believe? Have seen them around Melbourne in the off season together a few times. If Kozzy wants out and we get a good deal and Judd wants to stay would you send some picks to the eagles for Harley or take it to the draft?

    There were texts about both and since when has Kossie known he was in the Ind Stars side not till relatively recently. 

    Surely some are out bounds and  little stoppage of some would not be out of order.

    Who is running this show ? 

    Us MFC and not Kossie. 

    I Tjink he is old enough to know what not to text and respect the other players and MFC people and fans.

    For what it's worth I'm gonna go with @Dannyz summing up of the situation and expect he'll be out the door at seasons end. Anything else will be a bonus.

    Strangely seeing Kane throw his name into this only makes me feel better. His mail, his intuition, and a lot of his analysis has been shown to be way off base. Oliver is the best and most recent example, his word was that Oliver will never get back to full fitness and his broken, and that we should trade him for a packet of chips.

    Cheers for cheering me up Kane!

    EDIT: He was also pushing hard the agenda that he was going to go to Port last season and this season. In footy scuttlebutt I would trust my dog's intuition over his.

    I like Kane Cornes analysis but his trade predictions are usually miles off. undermines his good work in other areas.

    Haven’t you heard SWYL, It’s not the media’s job to come up with plausible trades, just announce that someone is gone

    He doesn’t think that far ahead……………or is it that he simply doesn’t think?

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
