Kozzy Pickett Re-Signs for 4 Years

People are very fatalistic in this thread. Are we really this doubtful that  he’ll stay at the club. 
I’m not convinced he’s rushing out the door at the first opportunity 

Lighten up folks.

    Don't count out the impact of losing Jackson and Bedford in this. They were Kozzy's two best mates at the club easily I reckon. Not sure he has any other relationships as close as that on the list at the moment, bar Burgyone, who isn't even on the list yet. Feel if Jackson had've stayed it would've kept that 2019 draft class together for longer, who knows what'll happen to Riv at the end of the year either, out of contract as well

    I hear that Gus is now advising Kozzy on his contract renewal. And he couldn’t be in better hands if that rumour is true. If so, I expect an official re-signing announcement on the Gus and Gawny show towards the end of this coming season.

    We should try and keep Kozzie Pickett if no-one has said that already.

    Jackson was garbage against Freo last year averaging all of 1 mark in both games for someone that’s probably taller than 85-90% of the league.

    If Kozzie has a stinker against Port in round 10, I’m panicking.

     

    Kozzie had a pearler against Port in round 18 last year kicking 6.!!!

    Thanks layzie agree 100%, Kozzie is a must keep. I think I will give this thread a miss now until Mr Pickett re-signs with the mighty Dees.!!!

    Melbourne are confident they have created the perfect environment to convince livewire forward Kysaiah Pickett to extend his time at the Demons beyond this season, but they will not be rushing him to decide on his future.

    hmmmm......

    Jackson and possibly Pickett leaving in the space of 3 seasons,

    Two premiership players...strong list, apparently great environment...something ain't right, I hope Sir Hubris is as far away as possible from the joint...

    I note Noah Anderson signed on at GC for another few years,

    It's not that difficult is it?

    That’s a very good idea.

    Pity no one else had thought of it, in the past 9 pages of the thread about keeping Kozzie.

    Really Stigga!

    Your comment is incomplete and negative. 

     This is the real situation.

    2011 -2022  NUMEROUS players leave GC inc. our Great Full Back Maysie.

    2011 -2016 MFC lose too many players

    2017-2022MFC wins flag 2021 makes Finals 3 times in 5 years with lowest 5 th  Loses virtually only L. Jackson who as far back as 2020 when he signed only a ONE year extra as others numerous signed mega deals. 

    GC 2022/2023 lose RANKIN and Anderson signed 4 yr deal!

    MFC 2022 Gain Grundy and Hunter snd Schache to replenish list. 

    MFC  2023 haven't lost Kossie YET.

    And you think there is something wrong in a curious comment. Facts please why are we losing any one ?

    Hi 58er,

    Didn't mean to come across as negative,

    I suppose another year of speculation sounds exhausting,

    In relation to your response, GC from 2011 to very recently were rot,

    As were we from 2011-16,

    So yes retention was difficult,

    And you're right,Jackson, has been the only player of note in the past few years to leave, probably because we haven't been rot,

    Hence why arguably at the peak of our powers, it would be strange for 2 premiership players to leave, when money is a non-issue.

    I'm presenting a hypothetical based on Pickett leaving (whether he is intending to I have no idea)

    However last year's French Farce (LJ apparently taking up until the last hour to make up his mind) still lingers.

    If Pickett has already made his mind up to leave, I'd rather play Chandler instead (or Laurie).

    So who are his mates in Adelaide he's rushing off to play with then ?

    This sounds too much like the Jackson situation all over again. 
    Losing Kosi will be a really bitter pill to swallow.

    what i liked about our 2018 drafting is we chose players with X factor, a real point of difference. The type you need to win premierships. i.e Jackson and Kozzie.

    We just cant afford to lose both. It's so hard though when teams are throwing ridicuolous amounts money at them. 

    and iff there is one team in the AFL that is obsessed with 'flashy' players its Port.

    You would think so now that Jackson has left. 

    I also don't think money is a factor for Kosi. Port would be pretty tight with their cap too you'd imagine.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
