Will this be another one to come back and bite us? Pickett getting a lazy 4 disposals with Serong getting 22 last week.

Yes Rivers was part of the trade however this smells like Kelly/Tyson all over again.
 

Would die for some class like Serong up forward right now, the game on Monday will be interesting

    Give it time.  I think Picket has shown us enough to think he'll be pretty good when he gets his strength and fitness up to the level we need.

    He is a mid forward, classy in the Robbie Gray mould. Would have Melksham or Fritsch out of the team

    We missed Pickett...needed his point of difference, forward pressure & work rate.

    Pickett is a player we need Serong less so but he would be an upgrade on Brayshaw who continues to disappoint.

    Serong's 178cm and has kicked 2 goals for the year. His kicking runs hot and cold but he's a quality midfielder with class in traffic. I'd love him for our midfield and maybe you just take the best midfield type players and work the rest out later, but at the same time judging Pickett by disposals is madness.

    Kossie's pressure has been awesome and he just needs a bit of coaching and development for his front and centre game - and a structure that sees a mix of talls and smalls working together rather than our current plan of bunching all the talls together.

    We also got a very good talent in Jackson at the top of the draft and we traded 2 picks with North to get the initial pick 8 and then split it in to 2 picks again.

    Possibly the biggest thing our list needs is a more even spread of skilled talent. So I'd be happy taking Pickett and Rivers types every year rather than worrying about missing out on the midfielder.

    Definitely needs more time. We drafted for a need vs another less important need.

    Oh ffs, this is why I hate when we lose. You get [censored] morons like Olisik who come out of the woodwork after every single loss and start rubbish threads like this.

    How many threads does olisik need to start after a loss?

    To answer the OP, no, we didn't get it wrong.

    It's how you know he's a troll.  He knows exactly what he is doing by starting these threads after a loss.

    Oh, that's right.  We won.

    Is that you dazzle? This is a valid topic coming into our game with Freo in a few days mate.

    im worried about pickett. he fumbles, he falls over, he goes too quick for his own good, he lacks composure, he can't read the play, his tackling is poor. Not sure he has the tools to make it. hope I'm wrong

    You're complaining we drafted a speedy type who can hit a target inside 50?

    Look at it this way, would you prefer Garlett or Robbie Gray on our list? Right now Spargo is out performing Kozzie. 
    I am not saying I don’t think he should be in the team, I am saying I feel pick 8 was too much and should have gone towards potential A grade class like Serong who we have missed now.

     

    We have heavily overrated our lists talent and gone for icing instead of cake. We desperately need more talent in our team across all lines

    Serong was taken at Pick 8.  Pickett was taken at Pick 12.   So we didn't even get the chance to take Serong.

    You're an absolute spanner, Olisik.

    Hahahha.. the guy is a spanner alright.

    What's ironic is that Olisik was the same muppet that started the Kysiah Pickett thread in July last year stating how badly this club needed to draft him etc. Raved on about him

    Quotes from Olisik regarding the Pickett thread from July last year.

    We need to look at this kid as a second round pick up. Exactly what we need

    Sorry, back to Kysiahah Pickett. Get this kid on the list. In the second clip I posted you can see he can tackle to.

     

    Compared to Cyril Rioli and also is a Cousin to our own Nev Jetta which should squash any go-home factor fears.

    If we split for pick 17, we must pull the trigger

    We had pick 8 mate, from North...just like we had pick 2 before trading it for Tyson. We had every chance to take Serong as we did Kelly.

    Must be embarrassing always being wrong Dazzle and using multiple accounts to troll.

    • 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.

      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.
