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.

    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.

    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

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
