Re: Where are all the Koschitzke slaggers?
Ok lets firstly se where we agree...we both agree that Kosi played a very good game as a key forward.Moccha wrote:You're a bloody expert aren't you.saintsRrising wrote:Sorry, but I must have missed all those leads he offered out of FF??????BAM! (shhhh) wrote:

.
Looked to me a lot more like he was floating around the forward line...often running towards the goal, or going sideways......rather than out from it.
Liked too his gather on the 50m arc that he kicked long to King standing at FF.
I still believe that he is not suited to playing as a traditional leading FF....but is very suited to other roles.
Who played full forward and who played on Rutten then?
Howevever where we disagree would seem to be on the definition of what a full forward is. From my perspective Kosi did not play as a traditional full forward. ie a market target who mainly starts from the goal square and who provides a constant series of leads out from from goal up the the ground.
As to Rutten in that first quarter...I think one of the reasons that Kosi got so free so often is that Rutten was probably looking at playing as a Full Back...whereas Kosi was not playing as a "full forward" (at least by my definition).
After the first quarter Rutten started manning up...rather than trying to play a set position. But by then Kosi had gained his confidence.
Again I think we both agree that Kosi playeda very good game as key forward.

Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>.

The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Met a guy yesterday who owns a shop Ben Cousins gets his fruit and veg from.
Rekons that cuz says that Kosi is going to be the AFL bolter of the season. He is mates with Gardy and says it is the first time he goes in with the body holding up. Best news I 've heard for awhile.
The guy was a pies supporter so he wasnt even trying to get some freebies.

I think that biggest thing from the 1st 2 rounds with Kosi is that he got a ticket from Ross to roam around the field. Not be a true full forward which is causing hell of match up problems for opposition sides.
A bit of a Matthew Richardson style game but pulling it off with great style.
Still having flashbacks to that grab in rd1 . In my seat for a good ride whatever way the cookie crumbles....

Good on you.Shaggy wrote:Exactly right IMOTo the top wrote:To compare Kosi with Fevola or Franklin is just stupid.
Kosi is a 197cm utility player who brings to the St Kilda side the skills and flexibility he does.
Fevola and Frankilin have to be targets - Kosi can roam the ground imposing himself on the game.
I'd rather have Fev or Buddy any day, and I'm not having a go at Kosi, just acknowledging that they are both better than Kosi.
Old enough to repaint, but young enough to sell

character wise and dedication to fitness..i would stick with kosi......the other two do have the runs on the board though...kossi needs to bank a few more good days before i am completely satisfied that he is over his troubles.......i have a feeling that buddy won't be a long term player at the highest level...looks a bit plump around the middle already......
fev is just a goose...was when he was a st kilda cheeer squad member....still is ......
.everybody still loves lenny....and we always will

They may be ... just. But only because they are played in position and Kosi isn't .Bernard Shakey wrote:Good on you.Shaggy wrote:Exactly right IMOTo the top wrote:To compare Kosi with Fevola or Franklin is just stupid.

I doubt Fev or Buddy would be very good given a mid role.
I have had this spat with you before but Kosi is much more like Goodes and should be played the same. Maybe Goodes will be better but Kosi would be close.
But Goodes would be an average FF like Kosi.
And yesterday Buddy was very ave when given the run around the ground.
Horses for courses.
So you all noticed it as well...I made a comment about Buddy in the opposition forum last night, he sure looks like he has been in the good paddock.Bernard Shakey wrote:If what I heard about Bubby last week is true, and I believe it is, his time is running out quickly.
Great footballer though.
I commend our boys for their fitness this year, they are on the whole in very good shape.
Oh, and I am happy with the boys we have on the park thanks very much
