picket fence 18,181 Posted February 16 Posted February 16 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! 6 Quote
Katrina Dee Fan 4,077 Posted February 16 Posted February 16 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. 10 5 2 Quote
GCDee 3,202 Posted February 16 Posted February 16 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. 1 Quote

Again, paints a very different perspective. 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. 7 1 Quote

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? 1 Quote

Again, paints a very different perspective. 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. Quote
Rab D Nesbitt 8,955 Posted February 17 Posted February 17 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. 3 Quote

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.
