Kosi

Just got a texty from the club telling me he's moving freely.

Sandy first? Or straight in?

Reckon if he isn't ready, Dave will win the battle with Ross.

Stephen Theodore · Tue 29 Mar 2011 6:18pm

I'd have him straight in.

If he's right to go, he can alternate between forward and ruck. Thought he went okay in the G.F rucking.

Too much risk to run him in the ruck and FF in the seniors first up...needs 1 or 2 runs in the 2's for fitness and touch.

Give Archer a go....he's on the list and will benefit from the experience. Maybe he'll grasp the opportunity and surprise us all.

Kosi - Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
We lost by one point. Surely things aren't that desperate.
The guy has had limited preparation. Give him time. 2018 will be fine.

certainty to play....

Con Gorozidis · Tue 29 Mar 2011 7:49pm

Ive got a feeling Kosi is going to have a break out year and just tear it apart this year. Dont ask me why its just a strong feeling. I can see him just really crashing the packs and taking the marks and kicking 80+.

nah just sh*tting you guys

gringo · Post: # 1053361Post **gringo** » Tue 29 Mar 2011 7:54pm

The guys not that bad, he is worth playing when fit, just not ready from missing a long period of training. Round 5 -6 he should be ready, but Ross is just hoping the tiges take in a tall who will be mismatched on gamble i think.

Not sure I understand what people are saying on this forum.
Give rid of Blake, Baker, Peake, McQualter, Clarke, Jones. Some even suggest Milne is past it.
Question the impact of Armitage, Stanley, Archer, yet are so quick to welcome back Kosi. A long term player who has given us what?
Not a lot.
A couple of great games cira 2005, fifty goals circa 2009 ( after a great first half of the year and not much else after that).
Get him fit, don't rush him into the team. Second half of the year would be soon enough.
Find another option. Please.

SainterK · Post: # 1053377Post **SainterK** » Tue 29 Mar 2011 8:12pm

Ideally Kosi comes into the second ruck position, rotating forward with Ben.

Unfortunately nobody has really put up their hand for FF?

Bernard Shakey · Tue 29 Mar 2011 8:35pm

Cahill kicked 6 for Sandy last week and I'm sure he has put his hand up, it's just that he's not ready.

agreed. i'd be pretty surprised if we didn't see him on the ground on friday night.

Johnny Member · Wed 30 Mar 2011 10:28am

Kosi cops it a bit from the fans. But I believe he's actually a victim of how we bring the ball in.

Meaning, his form is a sympton not the cause.

Meaning, it must be bloody hard for a forward like him to have an influence when we bring the ball in the way we do.

Kosi has to play. Anyone who ever doubted his importance to our structure and Roos game should watch last Fridays game again. Kosi would play in every teams starting 22 without doubt. The sooner Kosi is back in the better.

I just don't think it matters who we have up there until we start getting it in there better.

Last Friday night's inability to score isn't really the exception anymore. It's become the rule for the better part of 12 months.

Its true in part but our structure falls down when Roo has to play between FF and CHF as he did Friday night. When Roo is able to lead up through the middle the space he creates behind him allows our forwrds to lead. If there is no better option a kick deep to Kosi either leading or to a contest works. Disposal often looks so much worse when theres no option but to kick it to one on three.

bigred · Post: # 1053572Post **bigred** » Wed 30 Mar 2011 10:59am

He's fit.

He'll play.

Last time he played for Sandy he he ran into an umpire with his nose.

matrix · Post: # 1053578Post **matrix** » Wed 30 Mar 2011 11:12am

in.
and about time
nuffies who say he is a dud and useless seriously have no idea.

if he is fit he should play
if he runs out of puff its what we have a bench and a sub for.

bigred · Post: # 1053585Post **bigred** » Wed 30 Mar 2011 11:21am

Agreed.

Last year he used to run out of puff just lurking in the F50.

If he has stints in the ruck he will be cabbaged by half time.

That would be the ONLY reason he wont play.

I reckon they will "risk" him, for lack of a better word.

He will straighten us up and create another dimension. Full stop.

Extra defender away from Roo.

Kosi can...CAN be dangerous. If Richmond dont pay him due respect they will pay on the scoreboard.

matrix · Post: # 1053586Post **matrix** » Wed 30 Mar 2011 11:22am

+ bloody one
go koz go saints
koz in and kicks 3.2

tiges defence is shite (small)

bigred · Post: # 1053587Post **bigred** » Wed 30 Mar 2011 11:25am

2.3 for mine

Its Kosi remember.
