[Greg T]

You have been a great Saints man KOSI,
Been very privileged to watch your career from wo to go,thru the high and lows,
You were always fantastic to watch,loved your high marking, beautiful goal kicking.
You will be sadly missed as a great clubman,player and a true Saint legend...Heres to 200
As we used to say....The Kos man cometh.....

[SemperFidelis]

Kosi, none of us who were there will ever forget the Doggies match in '06.

You might want to forget it, but for many of us it epitomised your 100% commitment to our football club and the fans who love you. Massive hit and cracked skull notwithstanding, the thumbs up on the stretcher and the relieved roar of the crowd in response will be a story long remembered not only by Saints fans, but by all who admired your courage, clubmanship, dead eye kicks in front of goal and all round honest footy. You continued to bring great honour to the number 23 guernsey.

I'll be there with my whole family on Saturday to say farewell. We'll be the ones with our thumbs up in salute.

Kosi absolute champion clubman!
Overcoming adversity, and gaining the respect of coaches team-mates and supporters of all teams.
One of my 3 all time favourites since 1967 (the other 2 wearing no1 and no4).
Thanks big fella.

[baf]

I dreamed of playing afl you lived the dream hope you can mentor the kids in the coming years thanks for the memories

[Scollop]

If you love footy, you love watching a big forward launching into a pack and taking a mark...At his best he was one of the best footballers to watch ply his trade imo.

Loved every minute of the thrills and speccies from the big man. Good luck and thanks for the memories Kos

[oldie60]

Kosi, a true St Kilda clubman who always gave his all. Always rated you even when things were tough but you always stuck it out. Well done and wishing you well for the future. Go Kosi.

[sainterinsydney]

Things didn't always go your way, Kosi, but you always gave it your best. You never stopped trying. Best of luck for the future!

[asaint]

Kosi, loved watching you play. Super efforts dragged us over the line in big matches. The team will miss your presence and the club will miss you as a great clubman. My son has never forgotten the lesson you gave him on how to do a left footed banana kick from the boundary. You have been his favourite ever since.
Thankyou and good luck.

[saintcrazy]

Congratulations on a great career Kosi, we loved watching you play and what a fantastic kick for goal you are! I recall a memorable one against Geeong in the 2010 prelim. Good luck for the future. All the best to you and your family.

[St Michele]

Thanks for your loyalty Kosi, you have been a great player and we will miss you. All the best for your future.

[SuperSaint66]

Kosi - Memories of your great contested marks & accurate goal kicking. If only you hadn't had all those injures!!
Good luck for your future #23!!

[linmarnic]

You will be missed Kosi. Thank you for being part of our lives all these years. All the best for the future.

[Enrico_Misso]

Hey Kosi, the auctioneer at the B&F two years ago is still looking for you and wants you to honour the $5k bid you made before bolting out the door!

You are a great Saint and much loved by all the Saints family.
For as long as you draw breath you can attend any Saints function and expect to be mobbed by admirers.
You can't buy that sort of respect, you have to earn it.
And earn it you did in a spectacular career where you put your body on the line time and again.

Enjoy your retirement - you've earnt it.

[maverick]

Thanks Kos for everything you have given the club.
I still believe you could have been better than Nick, but with all the injuries, and how good Nick became, I suppose where you ended up, is always going to be overshadowed by the big Llama.

I loved the way you broke packs, gave a few sneaky ones and hated how much you had to run.

Your performance in the first GF of 2010 will always be your highlight for me, on the biggest stage, you stood up and nearly got us there.

Great club champion, you will be sorely missed by supporters and everyone at the club.
Don't be lost to the club.

Good luck for life after footy.

[longtimesaint]

Thank you Kosi for being a great loyal Saint. I will always remember those rounds in 2005 when for a while you were the best player in the comp. good luck for the future.?

[bigcarl]

Kosi, well done and congratulations. You've been a tireless workhorse and servant of the club and by all accounts a terrific bloke and clubman. Here's wishing you all the best in life after football and may the club keep you close always

[Dis Believer]

Honest, courageous, hard-working and talented players players such as you are the foundation stones on which great clubs are built. Thanks Kosi for being such a player, for perhaps being part of what will be in the future, looked upon as the time when StKiIda turned around it's history and set upon the road to sustained success.

I was there when you won the rising star, I was there when Buckets handed you his number, I will be there the last time you wear it for the club. You have done the jumper proud.

Thank you, and enjoyed a well earned rest.

[3rd generation saint]

Thank you Kosi for all those great moments you gave us.
Thanks for those great marks and fierce tackles, for your loyalty and courage, for doing your absolute best whenever you pulled on the St.Kilda jumper.
You are a champion of this club and will be long remembered with fondness.
Wishing all the best for the future and look forward to seeing you at our games cheering on the next generation.
Hope you kick a few on Saturday.

[saintbeth]

Thanks for the memories Kosi. You have always tried your hardest for the mighty Saints. My youngest daughter chose your number for her jumper and has always worn it proudly. Our family will never forget how you gave your all for the red, white and black. Good luck with the rest of your life and thanks again for the memories.

[saintkellerm]

Thanks Kosi, you have been one of my favorite players especially when kicking for goal, because your accuracy was outstanding. You have been a wonderful player for the STKFC. Your courage and determination on the field has been great even though there has been difficult and tough times you have been through, you have never given up but have always come back. I would personally like to thank you for all that you have done and wish you well in the future.

[saintspremiers]

Thanks Kosi. Great bloke and an incredible effort to make it to 200 games.

All the best and please have a son so my kids can see another Kosi in action!

[yipper]

Kosi , it will be a sad day indeed to see you hang up the boots. What a spectacular player you were in your prime, very courageous and strong. Beautiful pack mark and a long, accurate kick. You have done what most of us mere mortals can only ever dream about. Played 200 games of AFL footy for a pretty good team in most of them. Played in every finals match over recent seasons. And through it all - a great bloke. Well played big Kosi. We will miss you.

[battye]

You're a star Kosi. You've been an integral part of some amazing forward lines over the years... combinations of yourself, Riewoldt, Milne, Gehrig. On our day, we were unstoppable. Congratulations on your 200 games, each of them are richly deserved. It won't be the same knowing that we'll never see another match where you nail a set shot from 50m out, move into the ruck and play around the ground or push down back to take a crucial pack mark.

This is the end of an era; but I am thankful to have one more opportunity to watch you and your mates Milney and Blakey take the field in the red, white and black.

[thefatdork]

Kosi, you've been an exciting part of the mighty Saints over the last decade and your 200 games is a fantastic achievement.
When turning out in the Red, White and Black you were always an enigma. For spectators you were always an exciting and mysterious player to have on the field - never quite knowing what you'd chuck in for the highlights reel!
Best of luck and thanks for the journey we've been on with you.
GO SAINTS!
