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.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?
