[Trev from the Bush]

Kosi, my all time favourite big, country boy!
A 200-game StKilda Life Member and AFL Rising Star winner.
The only ones that won't miss you playing are your opponents who lived in the knowledge they were about to get crunched into the turf when the Big Kos came flying over their heads to take a speccy! Part of an awesome forward line along with Roo and Milney.
It's unfortunate that time and injuries have taken their toll, my family and I will miss the enjoyment you've given us/
Good luck to you and your family for the future Justin.

Good luck Kosi the favourite son at St. Kilda. We have loved watching you grow - you have taken a few players out along the way in your career, even our own players, but we would not want it any other way. Thanks for the memories, good luck for the future.

[Buckets]

Champion guy and Saints player. Enjoy your post footy career. You have certainly earned the chance to rest that body that you put on the line each week in the Red White and Black. I was there for your first game, the night Buckets handed you the 23 and I'm honoured to say that I got to help send you off in style! All the best Kosi!

Kosi has been my favourite Saints player for years and I will be sad never to see him play again.
I have had his image as my avatar for about 5 years and now that he has gone I'm not sure who to replace him with.(I'm thinking maybe Tommy Lee ... ).
Thanks for the memories Kosi.

Kosi, I remember coming to training when you had just been drafted and seeing your old man there as well. Now you're retiring.

A lot of drama between those two events! Your tenacity, loyalty, effort and personality have considerably helped guide St Kilda through arguably it's finest era, and thanks to you for giving us such good value as a clubman, and a player. Your place in our club is assured and you will go down with many great saints as a legend of the game.

Enjoy the next stage of life and the future.

Kosi, thanks for the memories, footy will not be the same for me now, Congratulations on your 200th and final game, I made your banner and hoping to give it your mum at the B&F and will complete your milestones quilt as soon as I can, form you number one fan 'J' xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[True Blue Sainter]

Thanks for the memories Kosi!

The tough pack marks, the accurate, long kicking at goal and the bone-crunching tackles.

Your loyalty to your mates and the club wsa unwavering. When you turned it on, you were virtually impossible to contain.

You did the famous #23 proud, and had a fantastic career, especially given all the injuries you unfortunately had to put up with.

We'll always miss you Kosi, and don't be a stranger around the place!

[jamesmc]

Thank Kos, one of the clubs greatest guys. Players like you make clubs great places to be around and you played your footy as one of our great warriors. Brave to a fault and passionate about your mates and performance. Great career mate.

Noticed you said guys, not players. Says a lot and all.

[rodrocket]

Kosi you were the master of the pack mark. You were loved as a player and the boys will miss your down to earth nature. I personally hope you retire completely. Whilst you would like to have a run around with ya mates, there will be somebody out there wanting to belt a big name player eg Dermot Brereton Stevie Baker etc. You've been through enough already so look after yourself. All the best for the future. Maybe you're little fella will wear the colours one day.

[Sainternist]

Thanks Kosi. It wonderful to follow your career as a Saints throughout all the highs and lows. I was so happy for you that you reached the 200 milestone in the end. You are now a lifelong Saint and you'll never be forgotten.

[bergsone]

Thanks mate,nothing more I can add to whats already been said

[groupie1]

A giant of the recent Saints era. All the best Kozi, thanks for the memories.

[B-rad]

Love the big man and his big game. Will be missed.

[Bluthy]

Congratulations on a wonderful career Justin. You were one of the pillars in an outstanding team which says a lot. You paid a price with your body in collisions and injuries and no one will ever underestimate what you risked for this club with your physical health. I loved your pack splitting and those fabulous marks. All the best with your future endevaours. You've helped set the bar very high for the St Kilda football club.

[Schillaci]

Congrats on a great career Kosi. You were a loyal and courageous player as well as one of the best pack packs and set shot goal kickers the Saints have ever had.

[DramRunner]

I'm probably too late for any sort of publication but I don't care, just need to add my thoughts. Gonna miss you out there in the Red White and Black mate. Some of my favourite moments as a Saints fan is yelling "KOSIIIIIII" as you took some of your signature contested marks. I hope you're aware that you brought immense happiness to many Saints fans. We'll miss you Kosi.
