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.

    First into the side next week  along with AVB (at least gives it his all) . Take your pick who you leave out ex Trac.

    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.

    Why didn't you bring it up last week, then?

    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.

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
