Here is my Kosi story
went to training (one of the few open days) at Moorabbin and was waiting patiently with my then 8yo boy to get a few autographs after training. While we were waiting for ksi we were close enough hear a conversation he had with a little tacker of about 5. The boy asked Kosi to sign something and when he asked the boys name the kid told him his full name.. Kosi then said didn't you write a letter to me the other week? The boys face absolutly lite up Kosi then dropped down to a knee to be closer to the kids height and spent a good 5 minutes talking to this kid while also signing things for others. Now this could have been a set up from the boys mum who worded Kosi up but i prefer to think that Kosi is just a ripper of a bloke.

Great article to read about Josh........... loved the bit with Joey and the 'only cool kids wear gloves'
What I also found most pleasing, was the last sentence in the article.
'The St.Kilda Football Club woulld like to thank Josh and his family for attending the Open Training Session.......................................'
I note there is a subtle difference in the way the Saints are going about their PR now. A public recognition that the supporters are paramount............ they (supporters) need the thanking and not vice versa.

to be fair they were trying early last year But every word out of the club drew alternative views and suspicious inuendo and comparison
Nice to have a fresh pre season.
