Kosi and Blakey

Post: # 1002574Post stevie »

Dunno if anyone has mentioned this on another thread but there was a great moment between the two in the sheds after the game.

The camera were on them - Blakey was sitting while Kosi leaned down, heads touching slightly. Kosi was talking, possibly saying, 'well done mate, we did well. Now we do it again'.

And Blakey looks up at Kosi with that boyish grin...

I saw that too! It was a nice moment and they both looked like happy boys. Spoke well of their frame of mind after the game I think. Faces still flushed from the battle but with ready smiles.

Same goes for BJ when the spoke to him on the ground, he was upbeat and happy.

I like to see that from our boys.

Frankly, I thought our attitude post game was nothing short of breathtaking.

Mightily impressed I was.

I know they could all be forgiven a moment or two of shock. I fell to my knees at the final siren and I was just watching at home but they collected themselves quickly and so well. It was a great thing to see.

i put it to the forum that of all the KP forwards in the game, kosi's action is amongst the best handful from 50.

agree/disagree?

i think they were both very good. i would like to think that if Kosi could get 2-3 goals next week and Reiwoldt kick 3 goals, and the samll forwards kick goals as well etc etc we will do well. we still need to improve. Unfortunately the magpies probably will as well. especially since we laid all our cards on the table.

Can think of no reason why it wouldn't.

attitude is one thing, ability is another. we simply have more ability than them.
we're stronger, more patient, more determined and we desire it more.

there are, however a handful of other things that warrant consideration in truth though we are already over the line if we play good footy.

I am really leaning towards the thinking that Ross will go in with both of them again...

Why change a good thing?

Too much pressure on Roo I guess, he would have to bring in another key forward, unless Gilbo goes forward and we bring in someone like Geary.

So it would be:
In: Geary
Out: Gardiner

Kosi first ruck, Blake rucks when Brown does.

Gilbo goes forward to take pressure off Roo and Geary plays in the backline.

Not sure if I like that or not, but it will definitely be something Ross is considering

As good as the Kosi/Blake duo worked IMO we HAVE to bring Big Ben in this week. Rotate Kosi and McEvoy through ruck and Full Forward. This will allow Roo more freedom than he had last week and also allow us to play Milne higher up the ground without him being stuck in the goal square.

Yeah it was a nice moment. I love when I see the boys share these sort of bonds, especially veterans like Kosi and the Blake.

Both Blake and Kozi did extremely well. The satisfaction in their faces post game was evident.

A full time ruck is still required, we went 3rd man up with Lenny/BJ/even Roo so many times, for a full game it takes too much away from the midfield.

Ben into ruck and rotate as a spare tall when kozi does some work.
