Loved how dangerous he looked at stoppages in the forward half. Imagine when big Gawn is there to Tap to advantage.

My eye was drawn to him like Eddie or Cyril

    Had  a big impact in his first ever game despite only having 6 possession.  Such is the importance of forward pressure.

    Scary to think how good he will be in a few years.  You can see he has the drive and passion.  Hes hard as nails too.    And nevermind his freakish skills.

    How many goal and mark of the year contenders will this kid have over his career?  I say many.

    This is why Cyril was such an exciting player. He would only win the ball 10-15 times during the game, but it's his frenetic and chaos tackling pressure that would put the fear into opposition players.

    Pickett is exactly that player. This could be another bargain Clayton Oliver like pick from Taylor.

    Noticed kid-Pickett was often in good position on the weekend but hardly ever called for the ball, sometimes with his head down or looking in another direction. Was overlooked on a couple of occasions as well (Tomald) despite being the obvious option. 

    If he nailed that second shot I suspect he would have popped up for one or two more. Club needs to find a way to jack up his confidence pronto, and let his natural mojo come to the fore. I have no idea what the immediate solution might be. 

    You can offer someone licence but it doesn't mean they will grab it. Perhaps if we gave him the simple target of taking x number of shots per match or x number of runs? - the threat of an odd sidestep can disrupt the defence even without kicking for goal.

    He's a super quiet and shy kid, so hopefully as he matures he comes out of his shell a bit. Reminds me of young Aaron Davey, who was very quiet but came out of his shell and became a leader towards the end of his career. 

    I agree if he'd kicked the second one, I think we would've seen his confidence grow and he probably would've got on the end of a few more.

    That training excercise on the sand where his teammates helped him get through it, should be invaluable for his confidence 

    He needs to watch it a few times

    His Teammates want him out there, as long as he is hungry to contribute

    The players seem to love him. 

    Every one that was interviewed on Saturday gave him a big wrap.

    Go to 7:25 to see the Velvet Sledgehammer and Damian Barrett raving about Kozzie.    The impact he had with just 12 disposals was phenomenal.

    Serious serious talent is Kozzie.

    Said right from the start he is as close to Jeff Farmer as I think I've seen. Has a bit of Eddie Betts in him as well.

    Remember when a few on here said we made the wrong call picking Pickett ahead of Weightman after his first game ?‍♂️?‍♂️ can someone please tag those people on here.

    Hes not the right selection. Mistake.  Georgiades is making him look silly 

    No E Kossie was and IS the right selection for MFC 

    We needed a small classy forward to crumb the ball and we have now got a Farmer/ Betts/Cyril/DAvey clone who is only a boy really.

    Harder to recruit Kossies than Georgiadis and get it right.

    We have a very special talent anX factor and highly skilled player fir hopefully a decade to contribute ultimate success for our Club.

    Snd Kossie creates excitement for us and fear for the opposition!

    BTW I actually rate Gorgiadis but have no doubt that Kossie is the right No 10 we picked.

    Thank you Jason Taylor.

    With that hair and the 36 on his back, it's like having Flash running around again ?

    Loved his tackling all day and his bad [censored] attitude gave every person he tackled a little push shove and rough up great to see

    His forward line pressure is fantastic

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
