Re: Kosi Injury (minor?)
Kosi is a fantastic player and extremely important to us. How good was he in 2001, 2005 and 2009? Very is the answer. People talking about Stanley being a likely replacement for Kosi better think again. Stanley, while he may become an elite player (and I think he has potential by the way) is a completely different player than Justin. Kosi splits packs, kicks big goals, can play down back, ruck or forward.

Re: Kosi Injury (minor?)
So why did the AFL bring this NAB rule in?
I seriously don’t get it when it’s still summer and quite capable of still hitting 40 degrees.
Plus a win/win by supporters coming along to see MORE young players if the bench is extended.
I’m not blaming the AFL for Kosi’s injury, but seriously where was the logic behind the decision?
Anyone?

Kosi is an ordinary player. Fantastic???? Some people keep on clinging to this notion that he's anything other than an injury prone ordinary player. The "Kosi is a star" mob. And when they start dredging up what he did 11, 7 and 3 years ago as evidence of his value now you know there's a rose coloured glasses thing going on. Aker and Harves were awesome players in 2001, let's say they're fantastic in 2012 as well. He's ordinary - not GOP. Just ordinary. Main asset is his size. He's injury prone, totally inconsistent, goes missing for matches on end, is slow and for a bloke who's supposed to be a champ at pack marking, he doesn't take many.

Re: Kosi Injury (minor?)
Pretty hard to argue with that, st.byron, unfortunately.
As a trial, to see how it goes. They're obviously thinking about bringing it in next year, so they want to see how it goes and what effect it has on the matches and the speed of the game and so on. They're just using the NAB Cup as a "guinea pig", simple as that.Iceman234 wrote:So why did the AFL bring this NAB rule in?

Re: Kosi Injury (minor?)
Remind me again St Dooley and St Byron - who played in the ruck in the second half in the 2010 Grand Final against Collingwood when Gardner went off injured?
You know, the guy who beat Jolly in the second half of that same game? Oooooh, that's right, it was Kosi ....
- and that wasn't three years ago boys.

Re: Kosi Injury (minor?)
You can't have a team full of superstars?
I don't get that supporters pot some guys that may not be in the top 10, doesn't mean they are not important or significant.
I wish we still credited them for their effort, cheered them when they do something good, instead of jeering them because they don't live up the level of say a Roo or a BJ.
Kosi plays a role, I am hoping this year it will be more footballer, than human battering ram. However if it's not, and he continues to do what is asked of him, I will cheer him on. He has remained loyal and played whatever role asked of him, does he always individually shine in that role, well perhaps not....doesn't sulk though, and continues to be meat in defender sandwiches because he loves wearing the RW&B.

Its easy. I blocked you the day you came on this site. Not because of what you might say but because you actually say nothing so I dont want to waste my time looking at a vacant thread with writing that means nothing on it.

Jolly smashed us in the ruck on that day, and Blake had more hit outs than Koschitzke
but punching above his weight as a pinch hitter was not Kosi' fault, McEvoy should never have been dropped for the game.

Re: Kosi Injury (minor?)
Thought Jolly beat him in that instance myself. But then he was pinch hitting. He has some value....yes. Not interested in potting him for potting him's sake. Am interested in a realistic appraisal of a player's value and I think Kosi's ordinary. And when I see people clinging on to notions that he's a superstar now or a fantastic player now based on his 'purple patch' or even what he did in the 2010 GF or before that....well I reckon it's crap. A few stand out performances in a career don't make someone a great, fantastic or superstar player.samuraisaint wrote:Remind me again St Dooley and St Byron - who played in the ruck in the second half in the 2010 Grand Final against Collingwood when Gardner went off injured?

So true. He is a very ordinary, slow, one dimensional player who gets injured far too easy. Apart from his ability to take a good pack grap at times he has no other tricks to his game. We need to persevere now with Stanley and Sippos who have much better second efforts and have thir future ahead of them. Kosi is entering the twilight of a career that was based mainly on hype.

BENCH PRESS
St Kilda coach Scott Watters feared Justin Koschitzke had torn a calf muscle last Friday night and figured the extra pressure on the big men, in particular, to stay on ground due to the smaller interchange bench might have contributed. In the end Koschitzke was cleared of injury.

Re: Kosi Injury (minor?)
Yep he's contributed. Sporadically. Yep he may be really useful this year. Certainly hope so. Would love to see him throttle a few games, kick some goals and put in some consistent performances.SaintPav wrote:
