How do you know that?

Yes I have always found him to be very caring. He can care a lot, or not care less, but it’s always about caring.

A tragedy that he went off the rails.

Sarcasm metre not working this afternoon? It wasn’t legal advice.

Was that a personal insult? I am wondering whether to feel hurt and take umbrage. PS: Where is Uncle Bitter, haven’t seen him around here for a while? I hope he hasn’t fallen into the moat.

I am with you on Kozzie staying Ghostie and am not concerned at this stage. Besides everything you have said above and previously, I will add a few more factors. It was said he is friends with Walters who is now 34 and unlikely to be a Docker next year. His cousin Roy will hopefully be on our list soon and they are apparently close. He has mates in AMW, Mentha, May and McAdam at the Dees plus Wrecker Whelan as a mentor. The rumours are only about Freo and not the Eagles, so is that really homesickness? He is contracted for 3 years. Are all his family, his partner, sister in law and sister all homesick, as it would appear a lot of people would have to move to see him playing interstate. Also leaving Roy who has come across possibly to play with him. I am moving on to the next topic.

Agree, but he is probably not playing senior footy for us this season, as he is behind too many, who are well ahead of him. So he can develop and get fit at Casey. No biggy.

Not really a conspiracy theory when it’s in the media and Geelong players are commenting on it publicly. PS: Geelong also have a lot of exposed form in this area, getting other clubs’ star players and generally on very favourable terms. Cameron, Dangerfield and Bailey Smith are just some who come to mind.

If I was the Suns, I would be keeping tabs in the Titles Office, to see if Rowell becomes the owner of land out Corio way.

You are very welcome.

Don’t think it will matter too much, as Luker was probably not looking at a senior game this year. When ready, he can continue to develop and build fitness.

He needs this season at Casey to develop and build fitness.

If he wanted to return home, a deal would be done. With JVR, Disco, Jeffo, AJ, Fullarton, Petty, Fritta and probably Verrall as well, all ahead of him, he may have taken a pragmatic view and seen no future with us. Then again we could have instigated a discussion and he was agreeable. We will find out the position soon enough, but given Ghosty and Slarti's vibes with him not training, nor attending a photo shoot or player's lunch, it is a very strong possibility.

😀

I wonder if Dees members will get free pineapple 🍍 on our burgers.

Will have to lend my support to our new sponsor from time to time.

Nothing beats the banana smoothie. Well maybe a few alcoholic concoctions.

You would imagine if he wants to leave, the Dees would know/find out and would be into the homesick Harley Reid. I think Kozzie will stay.

Yep, he’s a bigger boy now.

My favourite position for him would be on the dais with his teammates, at the end of the 2025 GF.

I need to lose a few kilos, sauna sounds good.

It rained here, near the new Dees training centre, this morning too.

Today could be an ice cold, banana smoothie day, given the predicted 41 degrees temperature in Victoria. Had a green juice the other day. It’s just not the same.

I may have this wrong, but just read AFL Rule 26 re LTI and it seems only Rookie possibly Category B players can be uplifted to the Primary list and it doesn't say anything about that Rookie being replaced on the Rookie list by an unlisted player. LTI is a minimum 6 weeks and if fit again, uplifted Rookie or another player on the Primary list goes down to the Rookie list. It is confusing.

Would think with what happened to his brother, he would be advised by everyone in the family and management, to get as much as he can, especially since he will be offered plenty by other clubs.
