I took that as a tongue in cheek remark.   Of course she isn’t being asked to divulge any state secrets, and I wouldn’t expect her to. 

Not tongue in cheek!

    News flash it's not his call end of story Jesus the season has just started and people are worried about this [censored] sometimes this forum reads like the the Truth (those that know know).

    What are you talking about it’s not his call. It is his call, with regard to what he does and doesn’t follow. I’m not talking about it not being his call to move to WA for family reasons.

    He’s playing at Melbourne this year, he has signed a contract and if he wishes to move to WA at the end of the season, for whatever reason the club will deal with it and work for the best outcome.

    In the meantime show some respect to the club and its supporters. I’m not worried if he goes, players move all the time and nobody is bigger then the club.

    If West Coast offers us the best deal to bad that he wants to go to Freo.

    It’s embarrassing for him as a player/team mate. Unless the group is privy to a standing joke where Kossie is playing games with the supporters in the west, you’re either all in for the year or you’re not, if you want to move  at the end of the season that’s fine but until then all chips in for our cause in 2025, with no distractions. 
     

    I'm in two minds - I think the players like to troll the media a bit and part of me thinks good on 'em

    But as you say it's not a good look for the club and just encourages negative headlines which I wouldn't think are in the best interests of the club or Kozzie.

    Ghostie @Ghostwriter revealed a highly classified state secret to me once. "We plan to kick more goals than behinds" was the whisper. Two years on, I wish someone had told the players.

    It's not his call; he has a contract until the end of 2027, and that's the end of the story. We can hold it against him if the club wants to or make a deal; so be it. It's their call. As for saying to respect the club and supporters, stop being a drama queen. But then again...

    PS a giggle session in a loving environment is fine by me 😁

    Indeed. People that are professional get when to be serious and when to focus. But a bit of fun or frivolity can be useful some other times. Often people will work better if they enjoy their job and workplace and be likely not to leave as quickly. Surely every Dees fan wants the players playing better and not looking to leave. I don't understand the original comment.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      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.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      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?
