Kozzie has the X factor that makes you go wow & most of the X factor players are indigenous.  How lucky are we with Kozzie & Bennell in the one side to provide that !!!

Absolutely @rjay!

There will be games where he'll be rested, but for me he just needs to play as much games as possible.

Him and Jacko gaining more experience so early can only be good for their development. 

It's exciting to watch 'dazzle'.

They had some nice cameos today but with more game time they are going to be a real handful.

Weightman. Game 2. Ineffective. 4 possessions. Didn’t even know he was playing. 72 minutes.  For a small player in wet conditions, he was completely unsighted

Both players will be good in their own way. I dont understand why threads like these need to be brought up every single game just to prove a point. 

I liked Weightman in his draft year and he has all the tools to be a good small forward of the competition in years to come. Same as Koz.

Right now both Koz and Weightman are just young kids finding their way through their AFL journeys. 

I'll continue to enjoy watching both talents for what they are.

Already kicked in one game as many goals as Pickett has for the season. I'll take the guy who kicks goals thanks. 

2 games for 2 goals vs 5 games for 4 goals?

Pretty foolish to judge 19 year old kids so early. Too much water to pass under the bridge. Both might not make it, or have 12-year careers.

Comparisons can be odious!

Give me Kossie anyday. His defensive efforts are way above Weightman although Weightman is a better mark.

Pickett has far better defensive pressure. He is running blokes down out of sight, creating opportunities for us - his presence alone creates fear in backman, and can result in turnovers due to anxiety (that isn't a stat). We definitely chose the right bloke. Pickett is already a jet, and already makes our side better. Weightman is going to take time. Looks like a good pick considering where he was taken. Could be a player for the bullies. Doubt he will have a better career than Pickett though.

Not sure if this is a media trolling of the highest order, or Weightman is in play:

Picket + Weightman would be a lethal combination, although the high pick cost would not be worth it. Tomlinson + 2nd rounder please!

Reckon he may be simply donating some of his old gear

He's an hour late. They close at 5pm. Should've ducked in earlier.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
