Kozzy Pickett Re-Signs for 4 Years

We should definitely analyse everything anyone says about Kozzie to within an inch of its life. That's usually a pretty good practice.

    I watched thebi tee ire Trac. It’s hard with Trac - he starts saying he’s super confident, then once pressed was less certain. End of the interview I was just confused. 

    I guess you could say he was confident until he wasn't.

    My words of wisdom from no internal knowledge of these things ...

    If he goes, he goes, if he stays he stays.
    Until he makes a decision, save your breath.

    I asked Trent Rivers about Kozzie at the season launch last Wednesday, he told me the whole team is working on him to stay.  He seemed pretty confident Kozzie would stay, he said he loves it at Melbourne.  Hopefully Trent was right!

    Exactly, we'll live longer that way too.

    Going by his comment it is safe to say Rivers will extend his own contract which expires this year.🙂

    Also, Wikipedia says Kozzy is the nephew of Byron Pickett (which we all know) AND Neville Jetta.  Can anyone confirm or deny that?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kysaiah_Pickett

    That was made known when he first came to Melbourne, he was living with "Uncle Nev" when he first came to the club.  

    One of his cousins is a student at my school, she is a Wanganeen.  He has family in WA, SA and Vic.

    Hopefully!  The way he comes across he seems very happy.  

    I've been told that as long as he gets the money he's happy with he will be staying.

    I'd say his deal will be done early on in the season.

    Unless he’s confided in one teammate or a small clique of teammates, the players don’t yet know. The whole playing group is hella close so you’d imagine if one knew, they’d all eventually know.

    If that's the case, I say pay him what he wants and get this deal done now. No point dragging out the inevitable and encouraging unnecessary, destabilising noise from the likes of Kane Cornes.

    What would be a fair deal for Rivers as a 2nd level defender in one of the AFLs best or the best defences? 

    4 x 450k  ---1.8mil?

    I thought that comment was more related to Trent Rivers not Pickett?

    FYI this is regarding Rivers.

    I have no intel on Pickett.

    More like 3/4 * $250-$300.  Usually, the longer the term the less money.

    Freo offered Acres about $150-200k, grossly undervaluing him (to help get Jackson).  They upped it a little bit but he went to Carlton anyway:

    "Acres is one of a number of Fremantle players who were offered below-par contracts to stay at the club, with the Blues pouncing on the chance to secure the 26-year-old on a three-year deal at around $350,000 per season".

    Just can't see Rivers who is still only 21 and yet to cement himself in the best 22 getting the same as Acres.

    I think as fans we tend to overestimate what players get paid especially those outside the top 5-10.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
