    I know highlights are exactly that, highlights, but not many people can make highlights like that. 
     

    Highlights.

    I’m preparing myself for some frustration with Pickett. I’m sure he has potential to do some amazing things but the knock on him was he lacked consistency.

    Contacting the club tomorrow to have him on my 2020 membership. So excited we picked him up, his highlights have it all, exactly something we’ve lacked for many years. Can’t wait to see him play live, so far we’ve only booked for QB, will be revisiting the draw tomorrow.

    loved the tears from his grandma and serious look of pride from Goody in the wash up. 

    we really wanted him and it means a huge amount to him and his family. can't love it enough. the follow up shepherd he laid in his highlights on tv was enough to say yep worth every cent 

    Spot on.

    My heart is already invested in this kid.

    Will likely be a personal favourite for me very early into his MFC career.

    This kid is just what this club was crying out for. In spades.

    Bring on 2020. My heart’s beating again.

    A very common criticism of small forwards by the way. 

    Hope we are organising the support system for him now. What’s Byron doing these days? And we have Matty Whelan and Nev.

    If I'm reading things correctly, he's an inch shorter than The Wiz & an inch taller than Boomer....is there a problem?

    Love it. Can't wait to watch him.

    I genuinely miss the excitement that Wona, Davey, Jurrah, the Wiz, Pickett, Whelan, Garlett brought to our footy club with pace, hardness, skill and brilliant footwork. 

    Loved watching all those guys,    good luck mate !!

    As an aside, I loved seeing Brad Green back in an MFC polo.

    The guy is a club legend, and (as everyone knows) he has endured seriously tragic and unwanted life experience in recent times - and he’s handled it with true class, integrity and courage.

    In this context, it was really pleasing to see him welcoming Kysaiah to the club on the MFC’s behalf.

    We had an appalling season this year - but it’s reassuring to see that the professional and respectful standards that we’ve displayed in recent years are still very apparent from the club.

    Our coaches haven't shown any great ability to train front and centre or pressure. We've trained up ball winning and I think we've trained up a pretty fit squad (up until last year). And rightly or wrongly we've trained a team that can get the ball inside 50.

    Yeah I'd rather use pick 20, and yes I wonder if the mid sized Bergman or the slightly bigger Weightman were better picks but the speed to the drop of the ball, the taps on, the pressure. There's so much to like. 

    He's not just flukey and flashy, he does all the defensive stuff.

    In the highlights video he's playing for:

    WWT reserves
    WWT seniors
    SA under 18 v Glenelg
    SA under 18
    AFL rising stars game - white
    AFL academy v Casey

    And there's nothing from school games there.

    I know most young guys go through a similar thing but for an instinctive player who clearly feeds off and works well with team mates there's potentially a heap of improvement for settling him in the same side - Casey if not the AFL team - and letting him play with team mates who know his game.

    His possession totals could quickly elevate by a couple of kicks and handballs and at least dispel any concerns that he doesn't get the ball enough.

    Good luck with that. I think Pert has issued instructions to cut costs. You need to pay extra for your choice of player on the card and the choices are limited to around 6 players.

    I like that he not only can take a hanger, but that he stayed down and crumbed a beautiful goal too.

    and that chase and bump to free up his team mate brought tears to the eyes.

    He’ll do me. Nice work Mr Taylor.

    Hmmm a team with an absolute abundance of inside midfielders and utilities should have selected another inside midfielder and a utility who is out for 12 months?   

     

    That makes perfect sense. 

    Totally depends how you see Melbourne list currently and whether it's a genuine flag chance next year. Oliver is the only inside mid of A grade quality (Viney, Harmes and Petracca are not of that quality) and we're light in defence. Pickett may have been there for our 2nd rounder, if not someone still decent to help forward. Amazed how many don't rate Green

    Welcome Kozzie!  Very nice highlights package. Wrapt with this he is exactly what we need. 

    Brave calls from Taylor tonight. Nailed it. Love it.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
