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.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
