But If he's going to go, we want as much as we can get.
I don't think Kosi is irreplaceable. By the time next season roles around we could have Walsh, Stanley, Cahill and Lynch knocking at the door.

I will, because any opportuntity to watch the replay again is fine with me. I don't want people to think I give false credit, so I will concentrate on his efforts in particular.
Wouldnt take much notice of SEN,sometimes listen to in the car,what you say could be right,we have some good kids, still think kosi is in our best team though,But If he's going to go, we want as much as we can get.

Don't get me wrong, I don't wish any of our squad gone right now, and I was just mucking around back there, because, if poached. big name players like Ablett will get two draft picks in exchange, compared to one for a normal player, so "Pump him up - he's elite ".
There are rumours everywhere regarding GC, and If they are all true, they will have a 270 man squad ( or thereabouts ) next year.
The fact remains that GC will be poaching players. Kosi could well be a target.
1. In the ruck and in the forward line he has physical attributes that young draftee's will not be able to gain readily. ( Ben McEvoy has been in the system 3 years now and Kosi is probably still a bit better in the Ruck, in fact if King breaks down and Gardiner is injured thats where I'd have him playing ).
2. He is not too old to consider.
3. His current form slump could be affectiing his satisfaction, and its possible he could look for a fresh start somewhere. ( Hope he's not keeping in contact with Luke Ball ).

Kosi in the Footy Record:

So who's getting a lift with Kosi to the Brisbane game in his chopper???
Maybe he could take David Schwartz (and forget to close the door).

But Kosi was applying SOO much pressure, Squizz. And his 1%ers were so good, they were really 2%ers. And he was covering his man - isn't that what forwards do?

Wow, that is a lot of effort to ensure Kosi doesn't get any false credit
I like that his choices of stay alive and Chopper pilot are complimentary , but I can't help thinking, Kosi, Kosi, that big plane Kosi, to your right mate, KOSI HTF CAN YOU NOT SEE THAT BLOODY AIRBUS.

Didn't know whether you were going to get around to watching the game
Whilst I was a scout as a lad and like to be prepared, admittedly I did have another reason (got a new digi recorder and have been mucking around to see what it does without using the manual as I normally do).
And I was always going to watch that third quarter again!

Once again, I reiterate that he is not making 450k for his '1%ers'. He is paid to kick goals, and at the moment he couldn't get a kick in a stampede. Matthew Lloyd wrote a good piece in The Sunday Age about Koschitzke and where he is at with his football.

I believe Koschitzke's future is dependant on this finals series. If he performs with a flare and doesn't become a liability, then he will stay with the Saints.
However, if he were to play like his recent quite finals series, than i see him as gone.

I think you people underestimate some of Kozi's other values, he never fails to make a contest and bring the ball to ground, he provides useful stints in the ruck to give Gardiner and King a rest, his hunger for the ball is second to none, I think he deserves a little more respect.

Of course I did, and like you, I will be watching a few more times yet.
I still think he was the most effective big man out there, by far.
Very much looking foward to having the twin towers back working in unison this weekend.

You have to look at what our list is lacking in looking for a trade.
If we trade Kosi will we get a first round pick in a compromised draft -No.
Will we get a midfielder that can eventually replace Lenny Hayes -No
Will we get a gun full forward - No
Will we get an all Australian Full back -No.
We would get an average draft pick that would mean we would have to de-list one of our other young hopefulls to use.
We would get another average midfielder to compete with Geary, Steven, Armo for a spot.
We would get a lesser backman to compete with Dawson, or Clarke, or Dempster for a spot.
No point getting trading just to get rid of someone.

400 grand?
You mean you'd get rid of him to free up the salary cap?
Given his recent performance I wouldn't be surprised if he was offered a pay cut come sign up time.

You talking the cost of Kosi or the lack of future salary payments to The Former Essendon Player?
Agree SS - even people who are frustrated with his game would see that Kazak is still developing (and will probably be our second ruckman in the post-Gardi era) along with Drago. The other tall forwards on our list aren't overly close at the minute (imo). And we're not exactly going to get a ready made replacement for any picks you'd get for Kosi.
I just struggle massively with what he's trying to do on the park these days, and wonder whether he "gets it".
Playing from behind Lonergan the other night was just not flash in the tactics department, as were the way he went about laying a tackle. Trying to one grab mark in wet conditions is going to end in tears pretty much every time - imagine if he could start palming to the advantage of others (and use his rucking skills as well as the talents of the smalls around him)? Or screen for a teammate to drop back into the hole and mark within range?
I'll put the lack of chasing effort the other night down to carrying the ankle injury (although I do wonder how long he's been playing with the issue).
In good conditions if there is gets reasonable delivery into F50 he is still a handfull. Granted. I'm just looking for the different efforts in conditions which don't suit or where we aren't able to kick it lace-out.
Highly doubt Ross will get rid of Kosi, only way he'd leave would be if it's his doing....
