Pete Ryan who is one journalist I respect highly has released this article.

https://amp.theage.com.au/sport/afl/kysaiah-pickett-to-be-given-time-to-weigh-up-future-20230130-p5cglx.html

Melbourne are well aware there will be suitors but are in open dialogue with Pickett’s management and comfortable their premiership forward is happy with coach Simon Goodwin, his teammates and the way his career has been managed. Sources close to Pickett also confirmed he loves playing with Melbourne.

All true but he hates living in Melbourne. Any chance we can make a few modifications to the City?

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).

 Ever heard about LJ episode. 
Think it's really that no one was advising him and delayed it because he was scared? 

Club  have Exit interviews every season on the first 3 days after season finish so don't believe the farce you advised!

That's  before Trade period snd I deny case the MFC presumed in its planning LJ was leaving. Whst snout his Manager ?

He was drunk and using voice to text. Give the guy a break. 

Much the same way 'Robbo' writes his stories. Has anyone seen 'Robbo' and 58er in the same room? Just saying...

Fwiw Byron Pickett's son Bryon Pickett jnr (Kozzie's cousin) has just moved down to Melbourne this week and I believe will be living with Kozzie and Trent Burgoyne.

And if Liam Henry is definitely coming to a Victorian club next year, as Ralphy reports, even if it isn’t with the Dees, he could still live with Kozzie.

Hmm distinct lack of different font colours and sizes and random italics throughout the post 🤔

Also the abandonment of ‘,,,’ instead of an actual ellipsis means he was doing it as a diabolical attack on the sanity of yours truly all these years.

Media is loving this. Constant speculation about which club or state he goes to.

Luke Jackson Mark 2.

Who is next? Rivers is OOC.

Other clubs cut deals around this time why cant we?

Pay overs for both if necessary. 

 

I agree Kozzie is worth a small fortune, but we do no want to get into Colonwood's situation regarding salary cap and offloading other top rated players.

Is Byron Jnr a decent footballer?  Has he moved to Melbourne to play footy or to keep his cousin company?

And track watchers, how is young Burgoyne going?  Is he seriously close to the last spot on the list?

He’s a likely father son option for North Melbourne I believe.

Pickett will struggle to get to Port as they have no first rounder after doing a horney franger.  They would have to give up a big name to get Kozzi in.  Has there been any other suitors mentioned??

I reckon he stays.

There is a term you have used there of which I am unfamiliar.   Presumably not a person of high libido from postcode 3199?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
