I agree but he is super intent on joining Fremantle for his own reasons. In fact, the days of moving to the state of choice is gone. It’s the club who’s done the most in work on tapping up a talent from that state.

The club told Kozzy they wouldn’t trade him in any circumstance this year so it’s hard to imagine we could tow the same line out for another year when there’s family and children factors at play. I’m not all that sure his partner wants to live in Perth but no doubt that’s what Kozzy wants. We just need to extract what we can from him this year, work on keeping him focused at the task at hand and work out the best deal possible with the Fremantle club at the end of the year.

Without the support of the MRC & RV, the project simply won't go ahead.

It very much is and we will have to continually demonstrate how we improve outcomes for the sport of racing given we've chosen this facility to sit within a racing track.

Aaron Morrison, CEO of Racing Victoria, has said that he believes Melbourne FC can co-exist in MRC facilities if it delivers strong outcomes for racing. Broad answer but sounded as though we have his support.

I do believe Kozzy wants to go BUT Petty was telling his golf mates he would end up at Adelaide and we’ve seen how that has played out. 🤞

That would be Ingo's company, Prats. Their sponsor agreement has concluded.

I haven’t heard anything else but the front short spot is free.

The healthy burger company have provided a significant cash injection to become a key sponsor for 3 years! Delicious news.

Marty Hore making a starting back spot his own. Seriously impressive.

They sure do. Let's see what happens. I won't be holding my breath.

He told those close to him that he’d like to play his footy in front of his family with the Dockers in WA. I’d rather not divulge anymore if that’s ok.

We had some good conversations with him but he’s told us that he’s happy in Perth and will be re-signing with Freo.

There is no doubt that Kozzie would like to play his footy in WA and that Freo are aware of this. A trade request was close this year so I’d said it’s likely next year. Kozzie is super close with Roy George. They’re essentially related so it will be interesting to see if his presence at the club helps.

Common theme amongst all 4 tenants you mention is they've all won their respective competitions in the last 5 years so it can't be too bad in there.

It is owned by the people of Glen Eira with a Trust providing governance. What element are you warming to? Taking the sloppy seconds of Hawthorn? If it were up to scratch for redevelopment, they would have done it themselves. I'm warming to sitting tight at AAMI Park where the players love coming to work, with an elite backup facility at Casey until the right piece of land to set us up for the next 50 years is available to the MFC.

I got told last year Goody became increasingly agitated about people watching on at Casey. He was told to cool off.

If they unequivocally oppose it, the project is dead.

He’s a fairly recent elect and the decision ultimately lay with the Caulfield trust I believe

Not in the interest of racing, the MRC or the residents who would lose their beloved dog park. Kanga himself apparently uses it 😂

John Kanga has just now on RSN stated the MRC opposes Melbourne football club using the inside of the track.

Very serious.

I agree it is and the sample size is short but what gives me hope is that once you have a body/build like AJ does that the role requires work ethic, strength and desire. They aren’t teachable unfortunately as we have learnt with many key forwards before (loathe to name weid, wattsy and Lucas cook).

What I’ve seen is a workhorse who is willing to play a role for the team which may at times be unrewarded. What I mean by this is he’s going to take a big defender and use his work ethic and power to create space JVR and Fritta. A willing tackler who can pinch hit in the ruck. Think Micocek at Collingwood and that’s the prototype.

Back up to the starting talls in 25. A very good back up!
