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: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
