Kosi let us down again.
I doubt he will ever be the player we hoped he would.

Should definitely offer him around and see what we can get.
I'd swap him for a top 20 draft pick.

I think you might really mean too cumbersome....lacks aggression, footy smarts and is clueless on how yo use his body in a contest.
Unfirtuntealy this laso means that he is not much chop in the ruck.

Did you see the free kick he gave away in the ruck tonight beacuse he simply did not know where to stand?

What a pack of cowards you all are lining Kos up from the safety of your keyboards.

You'd think the guy ran out last night purely and simply to aggravate you.

Kosi is one of many who looked absolutely buggered against a team coming off a fifteen day break.

Jesus...

He's a Saint. That's enough for me.

He was one of many who had poor games last night, but honestly; picking some of those ruck "infringments" as a reason to delist him is laughable. I've seen them live, and on replay now, and i still don't know what he was pinged for on several occasions.

Kosi is a second ruck-follower/third tall forward. In this role he is quite good. But a FF he aint, and a first ruck also he aint.

Kosi IMO was never the same after hurting his knee earlier in the year. I will bet that he has surgery now the season has finished. Has looked hampered ever since and will come back well.

Good Big men are extremely hard to find and to mind Kosi will carry the ruck next year when he is fully fit and allow King to pinch hit.

I dont know what to say.

maybe give him another year.
see how he pans out.

his heart is at st kilda, i dont think he'd go anywhere else.

Going by the above post and your OP in another thread Thinline, it seems to me that you reckon once a player slips a Saints jumper on he's immune from criticism. He's a Saint, that's a start. But it's what he does or in Koschitzke's case doesn't do that matters to me. Pulling the jumper on is one thing. Delivering consistent good footy whilst you're wearing it is another.

there are so many clubs that would take him.
dogs, blues (help out fev), maybe freo, west coast, maybe adelaide.
if we trade him, we will get some good out of it,
we have enough ruck options, and we can draft for an ACTUAL foward, who knows what to do.
try and get a mid, and draft picks.

I think you will see Kosi on crutches within the next week or 2. I believe that he has been playing injured (knee) for the second 1/2 of the year.

I would not accept anything less than 2 x 1st Rd Draft picks, should we wish to trade him (I don't believe we do). Lets not forget that Hawthorn got 2 x 1st Rd picks for Jonathon Hay by not disclosing his problems and 2 x 1st Rd picks for Nathan Thompson !!
