Interesting Kozi is down at the club
Be a good mentor for King in particular
Similar size
At his best Kozi averaged 2 goals and 7 marks per game.

Was thinking we would be silly not to ask.

Good to see we put in the due diligence and at least asked the question.

Didn't know where to put it, and couldn't find it anywhere else on here. If you haven't seen it, here is our Indigenous Jumper for 2019. Great long video with our 4 indigenous players in Harbrow, Rankine, Martin and Ah Chee, as well as the two captains and designer.

Always felt kozi was very underrated. Could play forward and back to a very high standard and pinch hit in the ruck. Glad to see he is still kicking around the AFL, incredibly nice bloke

not sure the Sexton recognition helped Alex may have started drinking his own bath water

Talk about signing your contract at peak value - been trending downhill ever since

 

[kreglze]

The bloke from what the commentators on TV were saying was he was absolutely running guts out on the weekend, just wasn't been able to put it together. Have faith in Alex he will get it together. Only needs to snag 2 goals a week to be doing his job.

It does not look like Rankine is homesick Another family moving up the Coast?

"I haven't been homesick so far and I don't think I will be. I love it up here so much. I miss my family, but I'd rather they move up here than me go back if anything," he said.

"It's a bit better up here, it's more laid back, you don't get hassled and it's a good place for football to thrive and become really big on the coast. I'm happy to help do that and get around to communities."

This kid is seriously special. * I cannot wait to see him run out for his first game.

Meet the former Queensland champion decathlete who stands on the cusp of reaching the AFL with the Gold Coast Suns just months after being plucked from the athletics track. https://bit.ly/2Q8ovLi

 

[robo_1]

The Gold Coast Suns have partnered with the Whitehorse Colts Junior Football Netball Club to help build support for the Queensland club in Australia’s football heartland while helping develop the abundant young talent at the eastern suburbs club

I love these inner sanctum media things.

Why would we want him now??? The time where he would have been of most benefit to us would have been during the off-season and pre-season as a Leader.

Good to see Fiorini getting some credit

[gcsunsfc]

If people paid any attention it would not be any surprise that Fiorini is having a great year.
I must admit he has gone beyond what I expected, but I'm not overly surprised.
Has been a ball magnet literally from his first two games.

 

[Jen2310]

Suns leader Brayden Fiorini says midfield must take ownership of loss to Port Adelaide

Gold Coast sit in 16th at 3-6 while Geelong have dropped just one game.
“It couldn’t come at a better time,” Fiorini said of the test.
“We will be hungry to bounce back from this disappointing second half last week.
“We will train hard through the week. We have played pretty well at home so we will try and start the game really well and see if we can jump them.”

"I find we're always projecting out and trying to make decisions today for what you want the footy club to look like in two to three years."

Dew knows there is a legacy of players leaving the Suns, and no finals appearances, across their history but said that had shifted, and the club was making plans to attract free agents by next year.
"We're really confident that when we get players here now, they'll love the place – both the club, the environment, and living here. And see it as a place where we can get the most out of their footy."

Was just reading that. Great article.

A great article and this is the quote I liked........."If you've got an ill-informed view and listen to comments made based on the past…we can't help that," he said.

Which is so true of the majority of VIC based media.

Twomey, at least, came up, stayed, got involved, took it all in, and reported it as it is. Hats off to him!

 

[Jen2310]

I think the vic media is starting to see the light. I've heard lots of positive talk from journalists than I have ever before. Many of them have been impressed with the suns.
