Agree that the “standard published stats” suggest he did very little but there were numerous pressure moments and shepherds that are available to some that no doubt show things differently.   
Sure, by his standards, he may have had a quiet one, but he still did the team things and absolutely helped get us there. 
About to watch the full replay again.

    Someone has uploaded a highlights of every goal Kozzie has kicked this year.

    Nothing else to do? Well worth the 20 minute watch.

    Sometimes you have to stop & draw breath to appreciate what you've just seen. Kozzie Pickett kicked 40 goals for the season. Top 20 in the league. 68 scoring shots. As a small forward and in his second year of AFL footy.

    I reckon that is phenomenal

    Thanks for posting, dazzle.

    As Biff alluded to, this is just amazing stuff from a small forward relatively new to AFL level.

    Somewhere I saw a comparison with Cyril and Eddie at the same stages of their careers, and Kozzie is well ahead of them.

    His goal sense and breakaway speed, and reading of the fall of the ball is something rarely seen.

    Broooose would be drooling over his every moment.

    Can’t stop watching Kozzie’s shepard for Petracca.

    And didn’t Dunkley go down like nine pins, Kozzie barely touched him and Josh just about did a backflip trying to milk a free. Glad the umps were wise to his act.

    Dr D said he was no good though.

    Think he said the same thing about Jackson for that matter.

    What/who do I believe?????????   

    🙄

    Where is this troll DR D, just vanished when the team did not fall out of the top 4, oh did he boast saying he Knows better. Was it dr d who said you can't compare kossie to Liam Ryan because Liam's a superstar, and kossie was hopeless.

    Yeah, thanks @dazzledavey36; I did have a spare 20, easy to find in Premiers2021land.

    Such a pleasure to watch where he is in the lead-up to his goals, knowing he's going to get it; I was struck by his sense, read and speed getting to the fall of the ball, sometimes from well away from the drop.

    Such a good watch. Makes so much of what he does look easy.

    Incredible to think we picked up Pickett, Jackson and Rivers in one draft. Would be no surprise if they were all AA at some stage.

    50 games and a Birthday in the same week.  Hope he snags a triple with a win!

    A win this weekend would mean Pickett goes ahead of Selwood as the 'most winningest' player in the AFL (with more than 50 games as the cut-off).

     

     

     

    Having a look at that table, you have to feel for Ted Hall who played for St Kilda about 120 years ago.  He played in 73 VFL games and won one.

    Was one of the best individual displays I've seen alongside Gawns 5 in a preliminary. 

    I'll continue to pump up this kid as long as i want, but his numbers right now against some of the best small forwards I've seen such as Betts, Milne, C Rioli blows them out of the water at similar age.

    Jeff Farmer was my absolutely hero growing up and never thought I'd ever see another one as unique as he was. But these highlights below just gives me flashbacks.

    Scary to think he's only just turned 21..

    I do wonder what he wants to be. Does he want to move into the midfield? He can do whatever. 

    If he is happy ‘being Cyril’ then he is someone to build around and complement - he is that good.

    Thanks @Little Goffy and aren't they a great read, Bim?

    Scrolling further down, it turns out Sunday's team was the most experienced ever fielded by the MFC, with a total 2705 games. Thanks Bowser>Tommo / Clarry>Melky? 😉

    (22/23 players vs the old 20 also helps of course...)

    It was a fantastic performance, one of many more to come i hope.

    I am curious though, what was behind this performance because it was not expected. Tactically, i dont think there was much difference in our gamestyle from prior weeks. Was it luck, role change or a bit more effort on gameday? Whatever it was we have to make sure he continues with this as it will then take the focus of opposition coaches and give us the ability to exploit our medium and talls a bit more.

    Sometimes you just have a day where everything just falls into place.

    His form has been building for a few weeks now.

    I thought he became more of a focal point going forward as the game went on, a few players including Trac actively looked for him going I50 instead of bombing it over his head to try to get a crumb. He actually makes very good leads week in week out but gets ignored regularly

    Just had a look at some Eddie Betts comparisons to King Kozzie... 

    It took Eddie 7 years in the system to kick 6 goals vs KK at 3 years.. 

    Eddie also averaged just over a goal a game for his first 4 years, vs KK at 1.6 goals per game. 

    What a star and so humble.

    gets lost in the wash so to speak. One thing is clear, is that we have some weapons in there that are poorly utilised. 

    If there is one thing we have to work on its our forward 50 connection. It also doesnt help when we transition the ball slowly, but i thought the speed of our ball movement was a better despite the poor efficiency (but thats why you need to train and play it a bit more as it takes time to hone in).

    On this sort of analysis you'd have to say Jack Ginnivan is a champ (JG vs KP) - averages per game in career

    kicks 7.8 v 6.9
    marks 3.2 v 2.1
    goals 1.8 v 1.3

    I don't think anyone here would do a swap for Ginnivan btw

    I found it strange that a retiring Eddie Betts was lauded as GOAT small forward.  I saw wee Jeffery kick 9 goals (all after half time) against the Pies in 200?.  That is the benchmark but just half of that would be luxury.

    Only thing that stopped Jeff Farmer from being one of the absolute great forward pockets of the game was him passing off to Freo.

    Was never the same player.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
