He hasn't signed yet and it's getting to "signing time" metrics. There is a credible rumour he's thinking of going because he doesn't really like living in Melbourne( not that he doesn't like playing for Melbourne) . He isn't apparently in an established living situation( aka brought a house) in this town and the Club is just saying what tradition requires them to say when it's likely out of their hands. No shortage of choices I don't KNOW hes gone but .. OCCAMS RAZOR Don't need " indigenous "," family ties" , "money", " lonely / no partner" in the theoretical mix Further more I THINK the wild desperate philosophy on here suggests that you all " know" he's likely gone. I'm very happy to be mistaken

I know all the signs are there Occam's razor

You've only now realised that Jackson wasn't particularly respectful of the responsibility his natural talent required of him? Immature and thick as a plank Kossie is gone but for different reasons. It's still a drag though. With luck Kossie will give us a season of competitive magic and a flag , rather a quarter of talent pitching for a self entitled future

The last paragraph is just embarrasing

man. TMac’s on the run kicking has improved too. It cannot be underestimated how much we missed TMac late in the season for his work up the ground and in the 50m arc. He looks super fit "his leg is as good as its ever going to be now" said Oscar at Tom's birthday party for his son. the actual question is how it will stand up it he gets a tweak, not how good is it right now

Because he us injury prone ?

That's why they are trying to ruin BBB

Trade him for Wattsy is the obvious move

Be very very very suprised

What? Is the " coach" going to tell them to kick it out front of him on a lead? I'd like to see that and will believe it when it happens

You probably won't want to remember it after this season.

If that's what you think will make him stay then you're all crazy

Hilarious

It's Jake Lever. Next....

Flexibility would be something new for MFC version 2022. Apart from injuries it was lack of FD flexibility that made the 2021 Premiers so " gettable"

Yeah I acknowledge the cheap shot but not how Max should be used. He's been playing behind the ball for several seasons and getting molested in every contest no matter where he is in fact my memory tells me he gets more stand alone marks down the back then he does up forward. That depends on forward pressure causing opposition sides to go forward with desperate bombs( sort of like MFC forward thrusts at times)

Everyone except the coach knows Max should be behind the ball in defence 9 times out of 10. Goodwin knows it as well but hes likely to go with stubborn habit just to prove he's boss

That's why MFC will miss him .Jackson was mostly potential but Kossi has alreadyvshown what he can do and his potential is that he is set to build on it. It's going to be very disappointing

He was kicking towards the left wing apparently so we can be pretty sure

I dislike him but that's just a ridulous assertion.

Yeah but Hogan was much more "interesting " than this other guy.

I guarantee that someone will two rounds into 2025

If it's in the news it probably won't happen. Sounds like North Melbourne desperation to me

A tangent..the maggots meet for half an hour post game to discuss who they will vote for...how many beers they can drink more Iikely, but apparently none of them say stuff like.." gee I thought Steven May had a three vote game; he basically won it for the Dees" Weird stuff

Frankly unless they learn to kick it to BBB on a lead all he can do is " his best" with what he's got. On a lead and with his inspector gadget arms he's almost a weapon. Certainly that's a change up from the dumb predictable bomb to the forward pocket boundary line. Making him play against his strengths is like Neeld trying to make Liam Jurrah into Byron Pickett. Hopefully both he and TMac have another season in them and a flag to go with it
