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.

     

    https://www.afl.com.au/video/483481/soft-dogs-slammed-the-rule-that-has-everyone-confused?videoId=483481&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1597019359001

    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.

    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: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
