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.

    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.

    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.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
