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.

    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?

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

    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.

    My biggest concern also...

    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
