Start time to be announced this Tuesday. All the usual activations (despite kids being back at school) but sadly no sausage sizzle. Since I get to watch training, I might pull up a deck-chair next to you PF! Wow what an offer and a half Ghosty!😆 Unfortunately I will be on a road trip " Great Ocean Rd" from early Feb which counts me out, BUT Upon my return would love to catch up with you and talk all things Dees with your good self, now hereby proclaimed Queen Ghosty the First ( and the last) patron saintess to the purveyors of fine BBQ fare specializing in Gourmet Snags! 🌭😂😁😎 1 1 5 Quote

That's all well and good, but when you sign a contract extension 21 months ago until the end of 2027 the decision where you play is really out of your hands. And he can't have been thinking about a move for very long considering he extended not all that long ago. 6 1 Quote

I get the anxiety about losing Koz and I personally hate the idea he may leave. I’m hoping like hell he changes his mind, but this has been on the cards for a while now (being undecided). I’m hanging my hopes on Koz changing his mind once again. As I said he loves the club and has informed the recruiting team/club in time to make the best out of this situation. All I will say is my source is third hand and by someone high up and respected by all on here. The Social Media likes tell a story. This is not my source btw… Quote

Our brother boys are extremely tight and although he’s only 23yo Kozzie plays an important role in the mentoring of Ricky Mentha. The group is growing and imo this bodes well in terms of Kozzie staying with us. 8 2 Quote

He may take that literally and take offence. 🥴🤩🥴 Quote

Nietaphart 89 Posted February 1 Posted February 1 3 minutes ago, DistrACTION Jackson said: Why? Brother Boy in Indigenous communities has another meaning DistrACTION. It refers to First Nations people as being part of the of the LGBTQIA+ community. Koz doesn’t identify as this. Quote

He's going nowhere at the end of 2025 unless the club is satisfied in a trade, which is highly unlikely. It could well be different at the end of 2026 with only 12 months to go on his contract. The club may be more pragmatic then, but not at the end of this year. 9 Quote

I wasnt there, but my best mate...lets call him MS CoPilot was and had this to say: Melbourne Demons Training Report - 31st January 2025 Summary of Training Drills: Ball Movement: The team focused on ball movement today, with an emphasis on handballs over kicking. Despite the best efforts, the foot skills still looked a bit ordinary. It seems like the players have mastered the art of handballing to each other, but when it comes to kicking, it's a different story. Let's just say, if kicking was a subject, the Demons might need a few more tutoring sessions. Inside 50 Delivery: There was noticeable improvement in player movement inside the 50, but the skills and decision-making still left much to be desired. The players were moving better, but the delivery was still as scrappy as a toddler's first attempt at finger painting. The decision-making? Well, let's just say it was like watching someone try to solve a Rubik's cube blindfolded. Fitness: On a brighter note, all players are breaking personal records in fitness. It seems like the team has been spending more time in the gym than on the field. If there was a competition for the most fit team, the Demons would be in the running for the gold medal. Now, if only they could translate that fitness into better ball skills... Player Summaries: Trac: Showed great enthusiasm in the handball drills, but when it came to kicking, it was like watching a duck try to play soccer. Needs to work on foot skills. Oliver: Impressive fitness levels, breaking personal records left and right. However, decision-making inside the 50 still needs improvement. Maybe a few more strategy sessions are in order. Sparrow: Demonstrated better movement inside the 50, but the delivery was still scrappy. It's like they have the right idea but need to refine the execution. Langdon: Another fitness fanatic, breaking records and setting new benchmarks. If only their kicking was as good as their running, they'd be unstoppable. Overall, the Melbourne Demons are showing promise, but there's still a lot of work to be done. With a bit more practice and a lot more kicking drills, they might just turn things around. Until then, we'll keep cheering them on and hoping for the best! *Edit: At, the risk of being misconstrued, ill clarify that this post is totally fabricated. It is the result of of some lazy 'prompt engineering' using Microsoft's Generative AI tool, CoPilot. [censored], I placed my biggest bet ever earlier today for us to make the eight, sit down with a voddy now and met with this. Nearly chocked on my slice of lime, don't do that to me. 3 Quote
