    As a long time supporter I watch Kozzie and marvel what a player he could be his stats are not only impressive they make for great reading.

    His 2 seasons have been sensational for such a young player, 35 goals and 27 behinds means he had 62 opportunities to score meaning he had nearly 3 scoring shots per game as a small forward.

    His tackle stats are elite.

    I reckon he may have gone very close to winning the award but I would rather he just played in the 2021 premiership side along with others and emulated other indigenous players like Cyril Rioli, Daniel Rioli and Chris Johnson who are all 3 times premiership players.

    If the voting is based on week by week performances and value to the side I’d probably go:

    5. Georgiades

    4. Green

    3. McInerney

    2. Schoenberg

    1. Jackson

    That’s not to say Jackson has been bad, we’ve just simply had a lot of games where we’ve played 2 rucks and 2 big forwards and limited his minutes and role.

    If it’s based on upside and best ‘star’ performances then maybe:

    5. Georgiades

    4. Jackson

    3. Green

    2. Gulden

    1. McInerney 

    If it’s pure upside then you can add Thilthorpe, Perkins, Cox, Jones and others.

    green has been dropped on multiple occasions and missed games through injury also played in losing side more often than jackson so would definitely not be 2nd on week-by-week performances imo

    It's not always the case that the best performing rising star is also the one with the biggest scope for improvement. This year it is.

    Any idea if the rising star / AA / coaches award is going to be shown on Kayo and if so, what time?

    I wonder if he'll toast his win with a White Russian?

    1. Jackson

    2. Green

    3. Georgiades

    4. Guldon

    5. Rivers

    Id predict the top three will be very consistent in the voting, then things will even out between about six players for the final two placings.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
