Thanks dees189227 how good were Kozzie and Bobby (Ian) Hill, they are both a bit shy but such great players.

    Not sure if he was nervous & I know he doesn't do to much media but he didn't say a lot.

    Obviously we aren't a club to have a few laughs seeing as he said he hasn't laughed so much since he had a week with the all stars team.

    I found it more amusing to find out Bobby Hills actual name is Ian

    Thought Bobby Hill came across really well. Koz is just shy.

    Winston Abraham was also good value, I was at Manuka Oval that day he took Mark of the year. Appeared out of nowhere and got so high!! Amazing mark.

    Great to see the wiz goal of the year again.

    Kozzie was a bit shy but I didn't like it when he was asked about his old man designing the jumper this week and he responded by saying it was great honour / gesture from "the team I play for". Would have loved him to say the Dees or Melbourne football club.

    Kudos for putting himself out their completely outside his comfort zone but it would have been nice if he mentioned his love for Melbourne when given the opportunity like Petracca did today.

    Hopefully I am overacting to it. Their media skills are about as far as apart as their kicking efficiency.

    It’s a fluke that l saw the ad for this show.

    I stopped watching it years ago ago.

    Tonight was fantastic with 5 Aboriginal stars.

    Loved all the player highlights, Kossie, Ian, Michaels, Winston Abraham, Michael Long and The Wiz briefly. But gee Stephen Michaels is a very impressive character, a real ambassador for the indigenous game.

    I haven't seen this week's episode of the front bar yet, but from the previous footage I've seen of Kozzie, it rings true that he came across as a bit shy. Not sure he's exactly the polished media performer, but then again, neither is Cayton Oliver and I'm not sure I'd perform that well in front of a camera either, even if I could play footy as fraction as well as those guys.

    I wouldn't be getting too hung up about words of love for the MFC. I'd personally just put that down as an extension of the same shyness and lack of full expressiveness in English/in the media spotlight. ...by the way, I mean no condescension by saying a lack of expressiveness in English - as I say to others in similar situations that they "speak a second language far better than I do".

    Haven't seen it but he could be just playing the game to maximise his next contract.
    He's doing it on the field and if he wants to maximise his payday he'll use the tried and true method of keeping the club guessing.
    If he wants a huge contract he'll be off to another club cause that's how you do it.

    Oop ... Just found it on You-tube.

    Kozzie struck me as quiet but very confident

    A great show. Loved all the interviews and hubahuba, how good a player was Steven Michael!!

    Kozzie isn’t shy, he’s introverted. It’s pointless trying to read into anything he says publicly because he’s extremely uncomfortable speaking to many people at once and this affects what he says and/or the way in which he says things.

    Winston Abraham was brilliant.

    I still remember the freakish mark he took that year.

    If Kosi plays well and is pleasant it really doesn't matter if he's quiet or can barely express himself in any language. Yes, teams need leaders but not every player has to be. Kosi's fine as he is.

    BTW often the most recent episode of Front Bar is on YouTube for a few days. But often they get removed so you'd need to catch it soon (or stream on ch7 with ads)

    I don't watch it anymore either, there's only so many glorified youtube clip shows I can take.

    Thanks for letting us know about this one though I'll have a look.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
