Player Watch #20 Jacob Koschitzke

[Tygrys]

Unless something remarkable happens Koschitzke has two more years left before his AFL career ends in 2026. Until then he is a non-story unless of course it appears he is keeping a young tall out whose AFL performances warrant selection. Until that happens live and let live.

Correct, he was delisted by the Hawks and was even dropped from the Box Hill that season.

Was actually offered a contract by Hawks to stay, and they upped their offer to 2 years when we entered the picture. He was a cheap KP recruit signed to be a fill in after Jack retired. Expectations on the guy are unrealistic, and I think he may do more than okay as a defender. Time will tell

Thanks, and correct - there was a one year extension offered when Mitchell took over from Clarkson. Until then he was gonski because of how inconsistent he was under Clarkson - Sammy played him the last four games of 2023 (he'd coached him at VFL) the contract was ordinary so he requested a trade. It offer went up to two years when we were nominated early in early Sept by Kozi and we came to the party on the last day of that trade period - so he cost Pick 49 (the pick we got for Soldo).

The delisted guy I mistook was Fergus Greene, my bad, who he was competing with for games, along Brandon Ryan, though Kozi was played as a second string ruck under Mitchell for those last few games. Kozi said at the time the writing was on the wall and it was best to move on.
