Apparently they are saying that Pickett could play tomorrow even though he wasn't named emergency.

I remember Carroll came in to play his first game when he wasn't even named.. maybe that's why he was rested mainly during the second half leaving him fresh for Monday. Damn, it would be good to see Chopper playing and see him roughing up those pretty boys down there! He has that scary presence within him.

    Give it a break :wacko: . Pickett was rested for most of the second half because he was cactus for the day, not to keep him fresh for a game two days later. If Pickett were to play tomorrow he wouldn't last five minutes.

    5 minutes on, 10 off, 5 minutes on, off till the start of the next quarter!!

    simple, impact player (davey will lift 100% if byron plays as well)

    Pickett is not ready. If he was, he would have been named, plain and simple.

    He is not 100%, and will be another week or two away from coming back into thedemons squad. He is an impact player, i would hope we can bring him back when he is 100%, that way he willbuild the form that won us so many games last year.

    A 50% fit pickett is not worth playing.

    Fitness aside, his form doesn't warrant a call up just yet either.

    Personally I'm glad ND is making him earn his spot back.

    The way Pickett presented himself during the pre season was pretty average if you ask me. Let's be honest - he looks like he is 6 months pregnants. No players in this day and age can afford to come back overweight and battling to find fitness. I know he's a big bloke anyway but I have to say that I'm a quite dissapointed in Byron.

    You'd have to imagine he will get pretty hug ala Kickett once he hangs up the boots!?

    Gotta hand it to him though, he seems to do this every year, but he gets fit pretty quickly.

    I dont think he gets fit quickly but he does his job and certainly deserves the 22. Dont play him tho. Hes not right and will provide very little and may have a chance of straining his hammy again.

    • 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.
