Watching Kozzy play over the past few weeks, I think he might have grown a few centimetres since he came to the club. Was recruited at 171cm but looks taller than Spargo who is supposed to be 174cm. Anyone think the same?

    "How Dons missed Pickett, McDonald draft heist

    Joe Daniher’s initial trade request bombed out. But how different would life be for the Dons had they done the deal with Sydney?"

    Article on HS about Dons potentially missing Kozzy and Logan McDonald due to their reluctance to trade Danniher to Sydney. Good to be on the other side of these articles for a change. 

    This is rubbish. Kozzie was slated to go in the mid-20s. Clubs were surprised we went so early for him

    Agree @jnrmac, utter bs. They just missed out on Kozzie the same way they just missed out on Jack Viney.

    AFL media doing their absolute best to shame Kozzie over practically nothing right now. 

    I'm not even mad though, just basking in the glory of a relevant Melbourne Football Club.

    It’s a joke. He stood up against the cheap shots that the Tigers pulled when losing.  Tigers liked a few short elbows and punches in the clinches or after a contest.   Kozzzy does not take that [censored]. That’s the story.

    It’s no longer us in the trade revision gun, it’s the Bombers but like us with the Josh Kelly, May for Pick 6 and trading up for Kossie Picket calls, I still think the Bombers have done ok with Cox and Perkins.

    Jones has shown a bit so far and it’s only very early days.

    Very happy to have KP, he has tricks that you just can’t teach

    Cox will be a gun. I'd target him.

    And as for Jack Riewldt telling Kozzie what to do, that really made me angry. Im Glad Jack Viney grabbed him and told him where to go. 

    Im so sick of Richmond and the afl media. They are at an all time low.

    I've had a lot of respect for J. Reiwoldt in the past he's been a great player for many years but I found his comments on Kozzie to be really disappointing. 

    Firstly that he thinks that Kozzie "(should be) better than that".  Really? Did he say that to Nankervis after he was constantly battering Max all night?  Or to Lynch? After any of his many indiscretions?

    Secondly he thinks that Kozzie could be as good as Cyril Rioli. Low ceiling for Koz in my opinion and a pretty lazy comment to compare him to the first indigenous player the can think of, how about broadening your horizons Jack? Koz could be the next..

    Not all. On SEN.

    Former Western Bulldogs captain Bob Murphy “absolutely loved” Pickett's aggression as the Demons announced themselves a premiership contender. 

    “This is the young upstart, this is a team that is discovering who they are and what they might be, taking on the champs and not being overawed, and getting in their face, and being a little bit cocky, and being a little bit arrogant,” Murphy told SEN’s Bob and Andy. 

    “That’s going to upset a lot of people, Melbourne have been in the doldrums for a long, long time, they’re trying to change who they are. 

    “I absolutely loved it.”

    Funny, for a long time I thought Tom Lynch was ‘probably better than that’. Turns out I was wrong.

    Hes an absolute [censored].

    Kossie is just incredible. The movements he makes. Ive seen players try to tag him and suddenly hes behind them by the time they turn around hes gone with the ball.

    Normally its other clubs that get these sorts of players like an Essendon or West Coast and we just have to sit and watch and groan. But not this time. Hes all ours and hes staying.

    Cant wait for the next installment.

    High five to Robert Murphy. Thats great. 

    And bonus is that it makes Kane Cornes and Jack Riewoldt look like a couple of whining Karens.  (Apologies to anyone named Karen reading this).

    Riewldt (whatever his name is?) is such a total [censored].  Even if that's what he told Kossie on the field, no need to go big noting himself like some high and mighty on Slobbo's show about the issue.  Should have stayed on the field.  Whatever genuine benifit there might have been by this 'elder statesman' type advice on the field was just undone by his somewhat belittling blabbing in the media.

    Its typical middle class Australian media mentality looking to try and do some daisy cutting and find the negatives that surly must be there, even when they arent, to a prodigious young new talent.

    Vomit.

    Wait so are they getting upset about how Kozzie got taken high and then decided to point to the scoreboard after he kicked the goal? I’d say that’s the simplest cheeky way of giving a little back, it’s not aggressive or anything, it was the spooky tigers who decided to go on with it afterwards. 

    Reiwoldt’s done plenty worse than that.

    Interesting to note that there has been very little comment this week about the behaviours of Reiwoldt, Nankervis or Lynch across the game - 'mongrel' is more refined than their respective 'after the event' behaviours. It seems as though the AFL, the umpires and the media can allow/condone retribution displayed by certain clubs' teams, yet not for others. As the Demons improve, it is most evident that our 'best' are 'targets' to be openly, deservedly disrespected.

    I disagree with your premise @Deemania since 56.

    We know that fantastic players, and fantastic teams will always be feted on or given more leniency from the media, or umpires.

    Actually, it happens in all walks of life.

    It's not just, or right, and it happens.

    Thus, as we improve with our consistency in winning - it will come our way as well.

    No one has criticised the aggressor who was in yellow and black, playing in his 4th game. Maybe Rhyan Mansell needs to ‘mature’ and ‘show respect’...

    I do think that race plays a part in this reaction from the media; Toby Greene can act like an arrogant [censored] and it adds flavour to the game; but Lindsay Thomas is a ‘cheater’ and Kozi Pickett is getting ahead of himself and needs to know his place...

    Some of you would roll your eyes at that think of all of St Kilda’s lippy smalls - they are lauded (not now obviously coz they are crap).

    I am aware that the forgotten Mansell is indigenous.

    Riewoldt pretending to play the role of concerned citizen and mentor, but he’s actually aiming to diminish Kossie’s edge in my opinion. Ducks and drakes.

    Shades of Jeff Farmer at Waverley with his first goal today, only Kozzie decided to involve half the team. [censored] electrifying.

    Just want to put my hand up and say I never thought he'd come on so quickly or demonstrate a tank like he has.

    Anyone else?

    I was very impressed with his draft video, but all the same his growth has been exponential.

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
