Even old mate @olisik has fully admitted that he will only comment on here when there is a loss..

What an absolute hoot he would be at any party.

Who's having parties these days? ? 

Speaking of parties, with Kozzie's quick feet - he'd be a monty to win twister... you know the one, where you drop the keys in the bowl?

    Absolutely love Kysaiah (“ Kozzzzzzy “) Pickett.
    He brings the excitement to the game and is the small forward we need to bring the pressure and the energy to our forward 50.  
     

    But he is still a raw kid who needs coaching.  I have watched both the Pies and Bulldogs games live and have some coaching observations.  
     

    1- Kozzy gets sucked up the ground too much especially v the dogs.  In general play, he has been brought upfield too much leaving us with no forward crumbers.  HE NEEDS TO BE INSTRUCTED TO STAY IN THE FORWARD 50.  That’s where he is truly dangerous. Not on the HFF or wing where he is consumed and tackled in traffic.   Get him either 1 on 1 or at the feet of Weid or running around the goals.  We lacked the forward pressure and crumbing.  Where was the front and centre roving which we saw against the Pies. 
     

    2- Kozzy needs to stop flying into packs to take the mark.  Twice v Bulldogs we had Weid, Fritsch and Kozzy all flying together in a pack.  Guess what. No one down to get the crumbs. Twice the footy came out the back to the dogs to run it out. 
     

    3- Kozzy loves to snap the footy across his body.  Twice he hit the post on Saturday which would have been crucial goals. It’s unlucky but both times he could have steadied for a regular drop punt. Everyone loves a Stevie J snap but sometimes a regular kick is better.  
     

    Just some observations which I’m sure our Supercoach will be fully across.

    Even before he was rested for the Adelaide game, he had developed some horrible traits in his game (reaching for the ball with one arm, not positioning himself at the feet of the key forwards, going to ground too easily, etc). Sadly he doesn't seem to have fixed these issues. He is getting games at the moment because we don't have any other options, not because he deserves them.

    That's the spirit!

    Since criticising the selections for the Adelaide game, you've posted twice before this: once complaining about our AFLW trade period, and once complaining about our trade in of Kolodjashnij.

    Then we lose, and you're back again complaining about our Rising Star nominated first year player.

    It's posters like you that make this place so difficult to deal with sometimes.

    Few too many are looking around unfortunately. 

    Wouldn't they be an absolute hoot at a birthday party...

    Kozzie will have these days early on, he's got all the tools but it will take a bit of time to put it all together. He's still a bit like watching someone in fast forward at the moment, and I'm sure that's how fast his mind is going as well. A bit more structure in his play and ways of working smarter around the contest should help with this. Confident he's on the right track.

    Just to reassure. I’m a big fan of Kozzy.  I just hope he gets the development that has been so lacking in our program over many years. I just had some observations.

    Nothing is surer than this kid becoming one of the best players in the game.

    Right now hes a teenager whos played 10 games, so of course he will be up and down whilst showing flashes of his brilliance.   So glad he is a Demon!

    Well said.

    I look forward to seeing him in person, at the G; fingers crossed next year?

    Quite right Norm. Kozzie's inexperience stands out like dogs balls and he certainly makes some clangers.

    Unfortunately, this crazy season has forced players like him and Jackson to "learn on the job", whereas, in the usual run of of events , they would be doing their apprenticeship at Casey. 

    But ....... you are just left with the feeling that we might be watching the growth of a future superstar small forward.

    Yeah just imagine him and LJ making their MCG debut at the G on a sunny afternoon.  or a  Friday night even better.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
