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

What you think Trac will say "nah he's gone" 🙄

No need...I have already said it.

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.

That’s a big call I don’t think anyone was definitive on LJ come to think of it. 

They are close and let’s hope he knows.

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.

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

FYI this is regarding Rivers.

I have no intel on Pickett.

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?

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
