Im on board with K.K.P exactly what the doctor ordered.

Being crying out for a quality small forward for years.

He's going to be a beauty.

 

Both Luke and Kozzie plus Harley will  all be fan favourites.

in love with LJ and Kozzie already so much C factor

Uncle Nev, didn't know that?☺️

Wonder if Uncle Byron will come down and live with Kossie?

I did

Building up a kid again, to knock him off when he doesn't meet Demonland's lofty expectations 

[Its Time for Another 4,215]

Haven’t changed my favourite players on here for a few years. Just did an addition.
I’m having visions of Cyril in attack and Byron in defence. Excuse me for a moment. I’ll be back in a little while.

So I guess we can look at this two ways. 

If you go solely on the value of the pick and who we could have picked up then you have to be pretty annoyed that we overlooked a bunch of seriously talented players who will probably turn out to be a lot better. 

If you look at it as part of the whole draft/trade period and the package we have gotten as a whole then we've filled our need for running wingers, picked up a talented small forward to replace Garlett and a 2m forward/ruck to develop who will probably see game time next year.  Plus an option on Bennell and Brown if they look good in training.  You'd have to call that a good haul. 

I just hope we can all keep looking at it this way when Kemp is accepting his Brownlow... 

As Maxy holds the Cup aloft and Luke wins the Normie!!

Gun recruiting!! Man if Bennell comes up to scratch, we will be a very different side next year.

Wow, just gotta pinch myself again.   We now have an electrifying small indigenous forward in the mold of Jeff Farmer/Cyril Rioli.

Been waiting 20 years for this.

If he makes the grade he will bring the kind of excitement that the likes of Jurrah, Farmer and my namesake did.      So pumped.

Aaron Davey says hi..

 

so so we went after Jamie Elliot and ended up with Pickett. That's a great get IMO. And we save around $700k a year...

It's Saty being realistic, the hyperbole about new players staggers me sometimes

And the short memories

We had an Indigenous small forward for the last couple of years, his name was Jeff Garlett, agreed his last year was poor, but previous to that he was a valued member of the forward line

And for somebody to say 20 years is laughable and also disrespectful to Aaron Davey

What you see is the highlights of a young guy playing, but not at AFL level, let's wait and see how he handles the step up before we start gushing about him

I am really pleased we drafted him but I ain't gonna put him on a pedestal before I even see him train

It was me who said 20 years.  We havent had a great small forward since Farmer.

Davey was not a small forward except for his first few  seasons.....  played most of his career on the wing.

[Pates 9,660]

Welcome to the Dees Kozzie! Can’t wait to see him light up the G, an injection of excitement and x-factor is exactly what we need. We can argue the merits of picking him at 10 until the cows come home but ultimately we wanted him and I’m glad he’s pulling on the Red and Blue!

Give it a rest.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Demonland’s lofty expectations? Now I’ve heard it all. Are we meant to be happy with making finals once in the last 15 years and no flags in over 50 years?

[Jaded No More 68,915]

Send him to live with Nev. Will not get a better education on how to be a top athlete/person anywhere else.

Reminds me a little bit of Aussie in his breakout year, but a few less turtles for dinner.

Has goal sense too it seems. You can't teach that and none of our forwards currently have that.

Sorry would have to disagree with that one Dr.  - IMHO all of Hannan, Fritta, Melksham, Trac, AVB (if he comes good) and possibly even I'd say T Mac have pretty decent goal sense.

That goal that Oliver snapped from the boundary was it last year or a few back shows that he has it too.

I do like the look of KKP though.

I may be wrong, but I believe he is related to Nev Jetta.  So he may end up living with him to begin with anyway.

Absolutely ripping pick, though.  He may take time to build his tank and find some consistency, but he will light up the G on a regular basis when he gets a run in the senior side.  I can't wait.

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

I’m sure this has been mentioned somewhere in the thread, but I haven’t seen it - apologies in advance.

The club has footage of his agility testing on the website.

Anyone know where he actually ranked in the agility testing: 1. relative to the other draft attendees this year, and 2. relative to the elite measures for draftees including compared with other small forwards such as Charlie Cameron?

 

[spirit of norm smith 16,451]

Kozzzzzzzzy 

that’s the call that will get the members and supporters and young kids excited.  
 

we need some X factor and I hope this kid can deliver it.  Cost us 2020 1st round draft pick but imo should be worth it.

Agility testing or not, the highlight clips show all you need to see.

You see all the other attributes previously mentioned including agility.

I was looking that up yesterday, and Kozzie wasnt in the top 10 for agility.

And Luke Jackson wasn't in the top 10 for standing or running jump.

Those tests are irrelevant anyway.

If he has a little of his uncle in him then I would be very very happy

 

Just a reminder

Yeah we should definitely go after blokes like Sam Blease who had a fantastic burst of speed and measures well.

Unlike silly Hawthorn who took that Sam Mitchell guy who couldn't test well in anything and had to play VFL.

I get that for every 1 Sam Mitchell there is 100 that don't make it but it's not all about testing. There is 100's of examples of this

[SFebes 4,884]

Which community/tribe/small town is he from? Club website says WA yet everywhere else is SA. I imagine hes from remote WA somewhere and moved to SA to play footy this year.

Interesting hearing Brendan McCartney in his draft-related article today talking about things he looks for in players, wondered if this may potentially relate to how we see Pickett:

For different reasons, neither Bontempelli nor Oliver was talked up as a top pick midway through his draft year.
“Bonti” wasn’t always in the game, but when he was you just thought “wow”.

I think this is the logic recruiters use.

Someone like ANB springs to mind. He's always around the contest with his elite running, but is never doing anything WOW

Sadly I think I agree.
I recall holding great hope for ANB as his SA team won the champs and he was a consistent key component within that side, always performing well without dominating, but getting his side over the line.
I had hope he'd provide a similar non-spectacular influence on the success of our side, but that hope is fading.
