A bit of a joke... Freo not willing to pay the dollars or give up the player.

Now the media can move onto Harley R

PS: I'd almost be happy if LJ moved to Geelong.

☠️Geelong have plenty of salary cap room. Ffs. Should add either Reid and Rowell to their list next year. Paying Bowes $800,000 a year in forward contract too. AFL will look the other way.

Dogga at the puddy Tatts would make me so annoyed

Annoyed!!

Armed Rebellion more like it…

Love having my namesake Aaron Davey back at the footy club of late. Done some amazing things for Cairns Lions as a coach and even took them to a flag of recent.

fair whack o change

7 year deal offered, which would make him one of the highest paid players in the game

I guess we will see if money can make up for home sickness.

Kosi can set himself, his partner, and his daughter (and future children) up for life.

He won't get that money at Freo, as they simply don't have the cap space with Young, Jackson, Brayshaw, Serong, and Bolton all taking up significant cap for a very long time. Even an extra $200k a year, over 7 years, so a ludicrous amount of money to walk away from. Careers are short, and life is long.

He'd be silly to turn this down.

agreed

and, ultimately, the contracts ain't worth much these days - if at any stage he wants to go to wa / sa to be closer to family, trades can always be negotiated

Thats a laughable excuse. Any club would find the cap space required for a player like Kozzie if he a) wanted to play for them b) the had the picks and players to enable a deal.

Agreed. Kozzie will be the best small forward in the league. Just needs to iron out a few more rough edges.

Dees have to splash the cash for him!

Im 100% in the keep Kozzy camp. This feels a little too long. A 5 year extension (on top of the 2) would have been more ideal. At the end of the day its probably what it will take to outdo anything that Freo may throw his way.

What if all this noise was just to spook MFC and that GW was right from day 1.

Asap plus ....


I've seen the three best players to pull on boots in the last seventy years Baldock, Jesaulenko and Flower and he is better than all of them

Just bearing in mind he is actually playing in todays conditions.

9 years seems a lot but I’m guessing we wanted to table an offer that no team could beat in terms of value or length.

One of the very best in the comp, can swing a game by himself amazing to watch and will put bums on seats for the next decade.

Thought you had it wrong... but you're right

Way too long

Practically if he wants to go to WA only the Eagles could come close to matching this deal and giving us the necessary trade capital.

Edited by Diamond_Jim

9 years all up, and not playing for Port?

Kane Cornes will love this...

 

i think he is definitely worth it.

not much more the club can do.

up to kossie now

Interesting that the offer has leaked.

It was probably intentional in that it was designed to blow the competition out of the game.

Hope we wrap it up quickly

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
