didnt look interested to me, thats my worry. Just not interested. Loved his mark falling back with the flight of the ball, but missed the goal. Dunno....big concern.

That's a bit harsh. The queen is far quicker!

He has an injury - to the knee. He can't run to get fitness, so is stuffed after ten minutes. It's the old dilemma - play him with care to the end of the year, or rest him now for next year.

I think Kosi is a bit frustrated with his knee. He keeps chipping away. Who knows, he might snag a couple of early goals next week and that might be all he needs !!

such a shame.

Watched him today and he really did at times not look interested but carrying an injury its probably hard to every week?

Hes a gam breaker....itd be so frustrating watchinb him tear us a new one in other colors but if we cant get the best out of him its a concern..the guy COULD be anyhing.. :cry:

Not a knocker as such but clearly everyone must have seen how he was performing today..........and past recent weeks....

a legit query and concern re his contribution or ability(injured) to do so.

I rate Kosi, he hasnt had the best year but is super important to our teams structure

I still noted he jumped into the pack more than twice in the game that brought the ball to the ground.

You guys need to wake up..

Kosi is an overrated nice guy, who needs to be moved on for the benefit of the Saints and maybe for the benefit of Kosi.

very true... providing a contest is something many big players in the AFL get lauded for, but Kosi is judged on possessions only.. :roll:

Clearly the kid is struggling.... This is when parasitic supporters thrive on bringing him down even further... There are clearly posters on this forum (who only ever post negative comments, oh, and training reports, which are also negative regarding Kosi) who are blind to Kosi's value in our side...

KPP are hard to come by, even ones of poor quaility... Trading Kosi for a mid or draft pick would leave a gapping hole in our structure, let alone our teams spirit, and risks the probabilty of him turning it around and hitting his straps again...

All in all, his season hasnt been too bad, and he has filled gaps anywhere.. He is struggling at the moment, but we are in finals now, and he has a great opportunity to raise his level in the next few weeks....

I have never mentioned trading......

my thread is all about his current form and what is best for the team

I really do think he is under the microscope re his imput and ability to do so right now.........

hence my original post

Is he in our best 22 at the moment not on his potential if fit.

MUST PLAY FIT PLAYERS IN FINALS
