Don't we still understand it's about the game...not the players as such.

We have many a good player... but a rubbish game.

Jackson isn't the difference nor the remedy to a problem.

That lays elsewhere

    It will cost us a lot and I don't think he's that good.

    He is a premiership second ruck who was very much involved with BANG BANG BANG

    Sure. Straight swap for Philthorpe. Why wait for seasons’ end. This week will be do.

    straight swap, player for player

    first time since mitch clark - heritier lumumba - travis varcoe?

    That’s a loss for us. Kozzy’s worth more than a straight swap with Jacko

    That's just not true. Jackson, as ruck/kpp, contracted for two years longer on top of that (maybe even more with an automatic trigger) is easily worth more than Kozzy. We would have to send away Kozzy AND extra on top of that if we wanted Jackson back. Dockers have no other ruck with Darcy always injured. There's zero chance they do a straight swap.

    I'd honestly rather keep Kozzy and try again for Jackson in a few years if he's still keen.

    Fascinating story brewing.

    I was never a huge fan of Jackson because his impacts were so fleeting, not often he influenced games for longer than a wild cameo.

    Over the journey, I have felt Kozzie has been similar. Just wished he would get more involved for longer - despite only needing 3-4 touches to be a match winner.

    The Fremantle game was something else, Kozzie made everyone on the ground look like they were in slow motion. I changed my view during that game and think Kozzie has every right to be considered in the top 5-10 players in the comp at his best.

    I’d take Jackson back and possibly in a straight swap because he’s a known quantity and should have even greater impact with our changing game style.

    Heart says Kozzie is worth significantly more but it’s potentially a decent outcome on the back of losing a generational talent like Koz - if it eventuates, of course

    We lost Jackson and got pick 13 off Fremantle for him, that ended up being Matt Jefferson, the draft is a gamble, I’d much rather a known quantity in Jackson than the lottery of the draft if we lose Pickett. Jackson will be All Australian calibre once given the number one ruck role, hasn’t been given the chance to show what he’s got at Fremantle.

    We got Windsor for the dog trade

    The Club loves Kozzie and Kozzie loves the Club, but recently there has been a growing recognition from many in the Club that Kozzie needs to be in WA.

    Damn. What a pity.

    I think he's very close to our most important player. With May, Oliver and Petracca not the players they were only a few years ago, he's just about our best player (behind Max) as well.

    The problem is, this is so sporadic and usually occurs every 6 weeks. He needs consistency in his game and until that occurs, it’s all speculative IMO.

    Agree completely

    We need more capable foot soldiers so that we can afford to carry Koz

    If this is not another red flag in the long list of red flags for players who want to run home to Freo, I don’t know what is.

    Kosi should take note.

    Fantastic news!!

    We desperately need a 2nd ruck/fwd

    He is one if the very few that compliments Gawn and then he can take over in a few years

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      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.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
