Kosi
Really disappointing again today.....
No spark
one trick
poor decision maker and executes poorly
would really love him to bouce around and live up to hype etc
REally is at the crossroads
was in first gear today..........no impact

True, but we had lots of shyte players today.
Looked liked most of them couldn't give a F***, perhaps it was just a one off and they'll turn up to play next week?
Kosi did Ok against the Bendigo Bombers......I'd be surprised if he got dropped for Gardi, who may be too slow for the Pies......also, if The Blake is injured Kosi will get another gig due to lack of other options IMO....

Gold Cost Footy Club doesn't come online for trading until the end of next year.....if they picked him up then (if that's an option), we'd get AFL sanctioned compensation.......try and trade him this trade week and we may get less.Bernard Shakey wrote:Kosi wont get dropped, but he will get traded.
In a word - I reckon there is little if any chance Kosi will be traded this year.

Ok, so we hang on to him for another year, just to get some compo???saintspremiers wrote:Gold Cost Footy Club doesn't come online for trading until the end of next year.....if they picked him up then (if that's an option), we'd get AFL sanctioned compensation.......try and trade him this trade week and we may get less.Bernard Shakey wrote:Kosi wont get dropped, but he will get traded.

Oh yeah, that's right... in an average list, we should keep another GOP.
The lid is off after Round 2! Enjoy the journey, coz you just don't know where we'll end up. Live for today and seize the moment.
The problem with what you said is he will be out of contract next year so we may get nothing at all.saintspremiers wrote:Gold Cost Footy Club doesn't come online for trading until the end of next year.....if they picked him up then (if that's an option), we'd get AFL sanctioned compensation.......try and trade him this trade week and we may get less.Bernard Shakey wrote:Kosi wont get dropped, but he will get traded.

considering the whole team was insipid, bit harsh to single out kos when he was FAR from our worst. he had 15 touches - far more than a lot of the team. sure he stuffed up a bit, but who didn't?
i know he's got he runs on the board, but roo was WAY worse. maybe he put too much pressure on himself and choked, but he couldn't do anything right. i expect him to come out firing next weekend.

Hasn't happened so far this year... why would it change now?doristhesaint wrote:I am normally a staunch suporter of Kos!
But cant see teams linning up to grab him.
I think stick him deep forward and hope he can deliver.
I have no doubt about his want to deliver but reality might be different.

I tend to agree with bid red.chook23 wrote:your patience wearing thin too bigred?bigred wrote:Please explain to me what that one trick is?one trick
Because I can safely say I have not seen it.
The trick used to be big pack marks. Not any more.
Doesn't contribute enough around the ground when as a ruckman. Needs to add value not stats that dont support the teams needs.
Dont bother with last week he was good. Any team would have played well against the decimated bombers line up.
Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

Kosi could be doing so much but is delivering so little.
Two incidents today.
Milne and Riewoldt both had long range shots on goal.
Both fell just short.
Both times Kosi was in the square.
Both times he just watched.
Offered no attempt to mark
Offered no attempt to shepherd.
Results ?
One uncontested Geel mark on the line and one touched on the line point.
He gave us nothing today.

Yeah Kosi was the reason we lost today...
Maybe we should trade him for Tim Boyle, or better still, a third round pick??!!!...
Seriously, the Kosi hate on this forum is disgusting... An average game in a shocking loss, and the haters cant wait to log on....
He was far from our worst, but dont let that get in the way of a good blame game...

He was far from the reason we lst but that doesnt forgive a very poor year especially with the money he is probably earning.Sobraz wrote:Yeah Kosi was the reason we lost today...

It was a genuine concern borne from frustration from a player that has not delivered given his hype etc
IMHO is at the crossroads
tough caper this afl and he has fallen short over his career........
if that is considered being a hater (by some) so be it

If people are looking at Kosi's game today and seeing anything at all then it can only be what they want to see. Anyone who went to the game today thinking we were going to do well on the back of Justin Koschitzke has simply not been paying attention.
He played 2nd ruck and forward on a day when the forwards were all going to (and did) look bad. He occasionally floated back and was okay. All in all, he was a non-entity. That's a considerably better achievement of his role than some of the guys who won the ball - or got handed the ball for a kick in - only to find a way to kick it to a Geelong 3-on-1.
Fisher, our prime mover in defense, 31 touches - 5 clangers. Hayes, 30 touches, 5 clangers. Montagna, 25 touches, 68% efficiency. Gram, 21 touches, 6 clangers. Harvey, 19 possessions, 6 clangers. Over the last 3 weeks of the season we were #1 in the comp for kicking efficiency, that went right out the window today.
But by all means, blame the big guys who were getting triple coverage and not the guys who had the ball and turned it over... and completely ignore the ball that got left sitting on the ground.

But it strikes me that others on this forum want to see Kosi struggle, even at the expence of their team, just to continue their vendeta..

Sobraz, are you Kosi's agent or his love child?
"An average game in a shocking loss...."
I don't know if you actually go to St Kilda games, watch them on tele or what, but Kosi's game today was not an average game by AFL standards (last week was above average).
He may be far from our worst, but he is one of our highest paid and is not earning that pay.
Most of his games this year have been below average and it is time for him to move on.

Was and am still a fan, and have defended him all year. Gotta look at the big picture IMO. If it's a fitness issue, then the club will factor this in. If not, then you gotta examine all options tbh.Sobraz wrote:Yeah Kosi was the reason we lost today...

8 years of "he could be anything" doesn't cut the mustard. If you can't find a constructive role for him, then u gotta make the tough calls.
For an elite footballer, he has promised much, but delivered little.
Take a long look at our list and see what we lack. If trading a certain player brings a better result, then why not?
ATM, I can't see a spot for him in a premiership team. I do however se a spot for a gun mid, or a good KPP back.
The lid is off after Round 2! Enjoy the journey, coz you just don't know where we'll end up. Live for today and seize the moment.
