what was wrong with kosi?
was this the reason why armo warmed up? kosi looked very short of a gallop today, looked very sick.
Anyone got any ideas? Almost struggled to kick at goal in that first quarter.
also interesting that he was played as the loose CHB during the match.

Re: what was wrong with kosi?
I thought Kosi more than did his bit.
Took some strong marks.
Created panic in the Essendon defence.
Gave us a target.
Kicked four goals.
And could easily have kicked six.

You have to understand he has had a fair share of not so positive threads in the past...but hey, people have Gwilt to pick on nowSolar wrote:some people get a little defensive me thinksohwhenthesaints! wrote:Just expect us Kosi fans to get a little defensiveSolar wrote:note:

the guy is very athletic and yet struggled to swing on his left and kick a goal in the first quarter. All of us looked at each other and said "sheesh kosi doesn't look right" then spent a long time over a kick for goal (nice kick, maybe needs to do this more often).ohwhenthesaints! wrote:You have to understand he has had a fair share of not so positive threads in the past...but hey, people have Gwilt to pick on nowSolar wrote:some people get a little defensive me thinksohwhenthesaints! wrote:Just expect us Kosi fans to get a little defensiveSolar wrote:note:

There were two things that I saw. In the first quarter, whether due to some incident or something brought into the game, he appeared out of breath after about twenty minutes - hence the poor kick as described above. But he seemed to come good, although he did no ruck work.
There was collision between him and an Essendon player (2nd quarter?) where both went to ground, and that took much out of him as well, perhaps leading to the thigh problem. But, he saw the game out and didn't look distressed at the end. So, who knows?

Both Pears and Kosi got up very sore after a marking contest when McPhee got back to help out.StSteven wrote:Was having his thigh wofked on at 3/4 time.

I would suspect it was a corky.

By the way Im not Kosi bashing because he went on t o kick some great goals and I love the way he plays,just an observation by us and others around us.
I dont know if anyone knows why, but Luke Ball when straight down to the rooms at the first siren, ran to the bench and just kept running. Only had 3 on the bench for the first couple of minutes and then he returned and did a lot of stretching and did not sit with the other boys but with some kind of club official? Maybe that is why Armo warmed up?
Maybe this year?
That sounds more likely why armo warmed up, hope Bally is feeling well.rexy wrote:I dont know if anyone knows why, but Luke Ball when straight down to the rooms at the first siren, ran to the bench and just kept running.

strange because people around me commented on his condition in the first quarter. several on here have confirmed this with their views.plugger66 wrote:Looked good to me. Dont even understand why anyone would say this especially after he did so well.
If you actually read the posts you will relise that I said he still played very well.

Also noticed Kosi bent over double for ages when they went into the changerooms at the end of the game- almost as if he was vomiting. I was wondering what was going on. He did have a corky, a massive bruise developed on the front of his thigh. Didn't hold him back though, the champ.
