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

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
