Rate him highly. Was stiff to get dropped earlier on but I felt like his performance on the weekend was solid. Great for our future.

We know you want too Jacko... One of thr best and well connected journo's going around. Strike rate is pretty high. He knows how [censored].

Do I go out on a limb and say McDonald comes in for JVR to play that tall forward role?

I have no doubt the contract was signed yesterday in private and then announcement this morning. Every journo around the country yesterday were pretty saying it was a done deal, just waiting for the announcement on an official capacity. Even the statement released by Green and Tim Lamb. That isn't a spur of the moment thing that was created this moment, these would have been carefully drafted yesterday. It's all about timing and the MFC have timed this beautifully well.

Only 23 years of age and is doing this that is out of this world. Is already ahead of Petracca at the exact same age. Scary times ahead.

Bloody hell... what a day!

Pot kettle black by Freo. Happy to constantly make numerous approaches to Jesse Hogan, Luke Jackson and Jeff Farmer over the journey but when it happens to them, they throw the toys out of the dot. Hope they never see a premiership in their lifetime.

My son is 5 years old and absolutely idolises Kozzie.. I couldn't look him in the eye and tell him he has gone to another team, it would break his little heart.

Surprised there isn't a stand alone thread on this. Congrats to Garry! An all time Melbourne great and could have been one of the superstars of the game had it not been for his chronic back injuries. I started supporting the Dees in 1998 and only saw the back end of his career unfortunately. Great interview last night with Gerard Whatetly and one of the best things I love about the Hall of Fame is when they get to tell their story from the very beginning.

Never said he would get dropped but this year he was omitted after kicking 2 goals the week prior.

This is correct. The 50 was there unfortunately.

Congratulations Garry!! Has been huge for not only MFC as a player but the media landscape in general. Putting aside what you think of him as a commentator, he's carved up a fine career in the media space. Did his best work as a footy show host as well as the Triple M Saturday Rub team. Some of the best pre game radio you'll ever hear!

Is it too early to crack the champagne bottle?

He is just behind Gawn and already surpassed Petracca as our most influential Melbourne player on field in my personal opinion. Statically wise Kozzie was doing more then Petracca at the exact same age of 23. Scary.

The CBA will/has gone up meaning we won't be bursting at our salary cap as some may think.

@Howard_Grimes already onto it.

I swear I read on twitter laat night something along the lines that we are in the top 3 premiership teams on some stat metrics based on form over the last 3 or 4 weeks i think it was. Collingwood and Geelong were also up there. Need to find it..

They'd laugh at us.

We have no draft capital at all. He'll be at the dockers next year.

Same. Completely changed the culture of thr club. Went from cellar dwellers to powerhouse club all thanks to Davey. Yes. Marley is down at boarding school here at Xavier College. A friend of mines son plays in the same team as Marley for east Malvern last year and he said he saw him kick 6 goals in a game playing as a midfielder after kicking 5 the previous week. Said hes got genuine talent. It's only early days and still a lot of water to go under the bridge but signs are looking positive so far. Jason Taylor keeping close tabs on him. Turned 15 this year.
