This well written article by m middleton is purely an opinion piece , how about a writer interviewing kosi , family and close friends , to find any grounds for us to really be worring about him after his career is over .
the last thing kosi would want is anyone worring about him , instead remember all the good things he's done !

Terribly written piece of garbage.
Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

From what I can gather, he reckons that Kosi is suffering brain damage, is mentally weak, and will be a veggie within a year after he retires.
And these conclusions have been reached from watching footy from the grandstands, and mouthing off at him from mid-on in a local park cricket match!
Jesus. I'd bet his doctors and family would be wrapt to hear this! And I reckon Kosi would be pretty chuffed with it too!

Murray Middleton can, frankly, go f*** himself.

Pffttttt LOUDLY.

Yeah, I think this piece has too much of an armchair perspective. The writer needed to at least establish more of a bond with his subject e.g. a series of interviews or socialising with Kosi over a beer.
Good intentions are expressed in that he is - for the most part - a maligned played, but it is mainly speculation about him.
Middleton's piece about the drawn GF hit home more for me.

This sort of post is just so 2007.....defacto wrote:grant thomas treated him like a piece of meat. ross inherited a broken player and is trying to do what thomas never did, protect the health and wellbeing of a player on his list.

There is more to concussion and its impact than the AFL is willing to acknowledge - note the recent tribunal attitude on head high impact.
I watched a show on television a few weeks ago about the "hidden impact" that Concussion is having on American gridiron players, including those still in their college years.
They were putting some scientific research into concussion and its impact on people. It was very concerning to see the "unknown" impact on players. Several eminent neuro surgeons were interviewed, including an Australian expert.
I sincerely hope that Kosi does not suffer long term damage, but that television show sent shivers up my spine.

You can tell that by him walking at the footy. Now that is an interesting observation. I saw lenny 2 days a go and he was looking good too. Doubt he will play next week though.To the top wrote:Well, he was a pretty happy camper at the football yesterday.
And he looks as fit and unrestricted as he has in a long time.

Imagine sitting with you at the footy. You would talk all the way through it and at the end the person next to you would wonder why you spoke for 2 ours when in one minute you could have conveyed the whole conversation. Now just admit seeing kosi at the footy walking doesnt mean he is fit and unrestricted as he has been for a long time. As I said i saw Lenny and he looked great too but he isnt playing for another 9 months.To the top wrote:The one saving grace here is that Q33 and a third obviously does not view the football from where we do - and therefore does not enjoy the company we do at the football.
What a relief!
