I reckon Jackson coming back is still a big watch. His press conference was done just to shut down the noise. He was told to say the right thing so they could focus on the season.

If Freo had been smarter they would have kept Lloyd Meek instead of trading for Jackson. Ditto trading for Hogan & hanging on to Lachie Neale might have been an idea.

They got unlucky with Hogan

If Kozzy can put in another 3-4 performances like that (4+ goals) across the rest of the year and another 4-5 games with 2-3 goals and 20+ disposals, not only will he make his first AA but Freo will have to part way with a premium hand…

I’m talking LJ and 2x 1st round picks. Don’t forget LJs contract will be significant so his net value will only be equivalent to a single first rounder.

He is a good ruckman that has failed to reach the heights we thought he was capable of…

Too many feathers in Peter Bell's hat

Nothing to do with "unlucky".

They are obsessed with luring back high profile West Australians & it often blows up in their face or is poor value for $$ ie

Des Headland, Harley Bennell, Jesse Hogan & the Col Sylvia trade was also a disaster

Do you really think that the WA clubs are going to just offer him a 2-3 year deal?

He's going to be offered the world. This is just how it is for elite players now.

Agree, whist I fully understand what Redleg is getting at the player in most cases will always take the money.

He was a gun who had a massive personal crisis hit him as soon as he got to the club. It's pretty unlucky.

Ironic that you should mention Peter Bell because early on in Freos entry they traded away Jeff Farmer, Mathew Lloyd & Scott Lucas as well as letting Andrew McLeod slip through their fingers. Then they let Bell go after a handful of games & he became a champion at North.

Almost as poor trading as Footscray in the 1970's.

Charged yet again by the MRP. Third time in five games.

Although it was only umpire contact it’s getting a bit silly now.

I get the feeling the MRP is on his case every match.

Given the recent coat-hanger that got four weeks I reckon KP'S report must be worth five.

why any player would go 'home' to flagmantle beggars belief - they are continuously mediocre, at best

“Flagmantle” 🤨

They had to get rid of him and Hoges will tell you himself it wasn’t a good move coming home. A lot more maturity now

Seems downright impossible if he hits his triggers though. Contracted till 2031 would make him worth more than Kozzie.

Apparently Michael Frederick might be on the out if they lure Kozzie home. I think he'd be worth a look. Super fast, great overhead, and great shot at goal. Think he can be a much better player than he is on the dockers. They don't use him well enough.

nothing is impossible these days i don't think

if kozi truly does want to go to wa, then we should be looking to strike the best bargain we can for ourselves - can't see that not including the likes of dog jackson returning 'home' to the mfc

Depends how much they want Kozzy


Kozzies a hothead.

I've never once seen him lose his calm. He has a bad habit of bumping and that is literally it.

It matters, it needs correcting, but it is not some kind of personality defect.

Would love if we got him. He’s probably ahead for the riding start at the minute. Had a great start to his AFL career.

Might make sense too. Bolton and Kossie both play a similar role, splitting their time between forward and the middle with licence to roam. Need role players around those types of players not sure Reid is a role player.

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    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.
