Kozzy Pickett Re-Signs for 4 Years

Timothy Reddan-A'Blew
in Melbourne Demons

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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
