Pickett will likely never average more than a handful of possessions, and never kick many goals. Does a flashy move every so often though. Skills seem very average. Not the kind of player you give up what we did for. 

Go look at the highlights of the North game where he won the Rising Star award.   His elite skills were on display and gave a taste of whats to come. 

Amazing what people expect from a first year, 11 game, 19 year old small forward.

    Didn’t you make these comments after trade week, when we had already traded with Nth?  Did you think we should take a slow, inside mid with bad skills instead of Kossi?

    Cherry picking quotes from over a year ago. Nice. Keep spending your Friday arvo doing so, I am getting onto the bevs.

    Onto the Bevs? Going by your post history, you've been on the bevs for about three years.

    Yep let's keep reminding  of some classic Olisik quotes from 10 months ago regarding Serong. 

    "Another contested inside beast who looks slow. Should be a lock for pick 3 you would"

    "I can’t stress enough on the importance of drafting more inside mids with bad skills who are slow".

    "Taking Serong would be a disaster".

    Didn’t know we drafted Kozzie at 3. That said no one cares about cherry picked Olisik 10 month old quotes mate, just like they don’t care about your Viney backpedaling. Build a bridge and get over it buddy.

    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. 

    It was the same pick from the same trade, champ. We originally had pick 8 but it was bumped to pick 12 because of all the academy selections.
     

    Surely even you’re smart enough to know that mate.

    Not according to this... take a read. We swapped pick 8 with Freo for pick 10 (which was the one pushed back), so definitely not the same pick buddy. Maybe do a little research first next time.

    Hasleby going with the Freo player. 

    Theres about 15 players Id take ahead of Serong from the draft.  The Rising Star award doesn't mean anything really.

    In the last 6 seasons Lewis Taylor, Jayden Stephenson and Callum Mills have all won it.  I suspect Serong will do about as much as them going forward.

    Oh boy do I look silly with a short memory. 
     

    Either way our pick was going to get bumped a spot or two. Who knows if we would have taken him, bottom line is he’s at freo and we can’t expect Pickett to just tear games apart in his first year. He’s only 19 ffs.

    Agree with some of what you have said. But 15 players ahead of Serong? That's ridiculous.

    Pickett 6 disposals @ 50%, 3 tackles (and missing a goal 10m out.

    Unless we took Serong with pick 3 then he was beyond our grasp. That said Serong has been very good this season and looks like he’ll be a good long term mid forward.

    Pickett has been pretty poor thus far. I was vocal that he was the wrong choice at our draft pick and I stand by it. What we are seeing from him is pretty much his whole underage career in a nutshell - barely touches the ball, barely kicks a goal, barely relays a tackle, but he looks exciting running around quickly and flying for unreality marking attempts.

    Don’t rate Serong. Average AFL player potential. I don’t want that for a first round pick. Plenty I would have taken before him.

    Jury is out on Pickett. Has shown glimpses at best. Could be a complete flop or the next Jeffy Garlett.

  • Quote

    I still think Pickett will be a great player for us and fills a more pressing need as a crumbing small forward. I do feel like he is either being poorly coached or not receiving the feedback atm though, because he doesn't seem to get to the fall fall of the ball enough.  This will come with some experience and maturity though, and hopefully a better game plan( with a new coach).

    Can you name the players you would take before him? Keep in mind he went pick 8, which is the pick we had.

    You’d forgive him if he could hit the scoreboard. Seems a project player. At this stage we’ve overpaid.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
