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.

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

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.

Not looking good, Serong giving us a bath right now with Picket missing shots 10m out.

Serong 18 disposals @ 72%, 5 tackles

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.

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.

  • 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.
