    How dare you find a fact that doesn’t fit the narrative.

    He’s checked out.

    He signed the contract last year? I’m not sure why we’d let him go if he’s contracted unless there was extenuating circumstances and Freo could offer serious picks in return. Thats something I don’t think they can do. For mine he honours his contract as Petracca and Oliver will do.

    I think this looks different. 
    Tracc and Oliver, allegedly, wanted to move because they were unhappy with the culture but are both from Victoria. Kozzy wants to move for cultural reasons which we may not agree but are real for him. 
    The bottom line is we do have this year to convince him that Melbourne is where he should play his footy but from what I do know (and on the topic I’ll confess that is a lot and probably more than I should be posting in the open forums) he wants this move for reasons it would be hard to humanely not make possible.

    While I think he probably didn't choose the best words, I think saying this puts to rest trade talk for this season unless we get an absolutely monster deal.

    Wishful thinking

    Seems like a pro to me in terms of what he is saying and that is backed up by his efforts at training. 

    Wouldn’t worry about direct quotes similar to how ‘60s ne’erdowells talk about jail time from a bloke like Kozzie. He ain’t the best performer with the media.

    Well given the club has said we aren’t trading him, not much else can be said. Media can say all they want

    The media will keep raising it all year, that was my point. Thinking it puts this to bed for the year is wishful thinking, it will be a constant.

    You’re obviously not in tune with 23yr olds & social media. Don’t particularly care about any of that.. he is playing this year at MFC ? ..uh yes. I guess in my life ..I don’t waste time beating myself up with what will happen in the future ..I will just enjoy watching him this year …

    No i am, you're just living in a sense of denial.

    Even @Dannyz who has one of the best sources at the club has confirmed that he's super intent in joining Freo. I take his word for it.

    It would be very easy for me to not make it humanely possible.

    Yeah they probably will. Doesn’t mean we should change our stance though

    I have no doubt Koz will leave, but we have him for this Season, if we have a seriously good year, we have a chance to convince him to stay longer. 
    if 2025 is a stinker like ‘24 i think it would be the best time to do deals. 
     

    It’s up to the Players in my view. 
    How Hungry are they for more Top Shelf Success??

    I was all team Roy George but it seems Jai Culley is one who's been the most impressive out of the train ons.

    Look at the coincidences, Kozzie’s brother in law and now cousin put on the Dockers list, in one off season.

    We had some good conversations with him but he’s told us that he’s happy in Perth and will be re-signing with Freo. 

    Also happening. All the quality Victorian boys are happy at freo so they’re doing something right.

    God I’m sick of hearing of players wanting to leave the club , I know players movement is more common these days and understand there are sometimes complicated genuine family reasons. But we have had Jackson, ANB , Petracca, Oliver, Pickett and now reportedly Mcvee too 

    It’s not great ! Hopefully we have sorted some of the cultural issues out for this season , and it seems to be a more connected place this year. However we are constantly having places wanting to leave the last few seasons, with very few quality players wanting to come to us . It needs to change . Not sure if it’s culture or we just need to be more careful recruiting interstate players , but I’m sick of it

    the interview was a pretty good indication of a professional answer.

    Yep hes contracted.

    Its up to the club to keep him and all our players engaged and focused. Success will do that and keep him/them  happy.

    His value to move is dependent upon him playing well and having success

    Personally I think if he was a premiership winner in the next 2 years Id be happy to let him go to WA if that would be best for him and his family. Of course a lot can happen in that time. That also allows us to develop someone to replace him

    There was a poster on the Mcvee contract thread who said he had inside information that Mcvee wants to move back home West. Hope it isn’t true

    "Do my time" is such a post-free agency concept. 

    The draft is at best a nuisance - at worst a form of fairytale authoritarianism. You must bow to the king, feigning loyalty, but after six years the spell is broken and then you are free and can kiss rebel princes and sing with forest animals in your home state to your heart's content.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
