He is our X-factor.
I am still not convinced that he has what it takes. I have no doubt about his ability, but can he do it on the big stage.
Roo is a true leader and always delivers but Kosi...he is a great footballer but can make his mark in history on one day in September.
What do you guys think of Kosi?
If Kosi kicks 5 we will win the flag

Brutal. And hard. Based on what i saw from the second row at the SCG a few weeks ago.
In the first quarter against Sydney he slammed LRT into the turf with a tackle that went on a little after the ball had popped free and really rattle him. And the noise when he hit Roo in the marking contest was fierce.
Presents well and can take game-breaking pack-busting marks under pressure.
Frustrating when he seems to go missing but that's the nature of playing up front I guess. Lyon sent him back briefly in the last quarter against Sydney and Hawthorm - I assume he's seen as a good space blocker.

Why 5?
I think that Roo, Milne, Schneider, McQ and others will take care of the their goals but Kosi can hit or miss.
If you look at our big wins, usually Kosi fires. 5 was a random number, no Cowboy Neale. Most GFs, someone stands up. Shane Ellen 5 in 97, Matera 5 for WC. It's that x factor. I could say if Roo kicks 10 we will win too but this a reasonable and attainable target for Kosi.
That's why 5.

If St Kilda plays in the Grand Final and kicks more goals and behinds than their opponents, St Kilda will win the flag.

Kosi has the ability to kick over 70 - 80 goals in a season if Ross left him down in the goal square for a hole season. His marking and kicking is extraordinary. And i think he's up there as the best in the league in both categories, maybe not kicking of late. It's just inconsistency that lets him down. He played a brilliant match against Sydney, didn't hurt them too much on the score board yet kept working hard all night like good players do. But then he had a shocker last week.
He will lift in the grand final if the time comes.

I expect big things from him today against an undersized and youthful defence that'll be scrambling as it is to cover Riewoldt.
BIG opportunity for him to go from a trot to a gallop.
Tell you what, if he doesn't, there'll be some lively debate about him next week. Patience + Kosi do not a marriage make....

On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

Hey thats an amazing stat if true...saint66au wrote:Weve never lost a game that Kosi has kicked 3 or more goals in
Will sure get the belief factor up if he kicks a couple early
Talking any game from here in...unlike a few here not for one minute assuming us in the Grand final yet..Prelims are almost as hard to win
Never take a backward step even to gain momentum.....

Thought I would rehash this thread because I am sick of the "No Riewoldt, no Saints" school of thought.
This is the day. It has been reduced to one game, Justin. This is the chance to make your name on the big stage.
You win the Norm Smith and we will have won the flag...and I will do a pants down after the game.
For what it's worth, I have been told that my butt is ok.
Pleeeeeeeease Kosi.
