Pickett never has been a consistent player. I will say though when he is on it is a joy to watch. He has had a couple of baddies so he will have a hot one in the next few weeks and we will all be salivating again.

Was pretty consistent the two previous years.

 

I have to imagine that Kozzie's drop in form has been the direct result of these negotiations dragging out. I've got no doubt once it's all done and dusted he'll be fine. Really wish he, his manager, and the club had just sorted it out before the start of the season if Melbourne was always going to be his final destination.

I think he just needs to get back to basics; tackle, pressure, stay on the ground for a bit, be at the fall of the ball.

It will certainly be a massive lift when it's all done.

 

I think Kozzie has been struggling post suspension because he has doubt in his mind about how hard he can bump/tackle. His game has always been built on putting on pressure, hitting bodies and tackling hard and since being suspended for an incident where he didn’t even hurt anyone I think he is overthinking the pressure side of his game and it’s making him less instinctive. Hopefully he gets back to his best this week.

100% I think this is the issue.

He is so physical but I think he's a bit scared about going too hard and getting suspended again. It's a fine balance and I am sure he will get there. 

 

Kozzie's agent is Peter Rohde? 

The ex MFC player and Dogs coach?

Just hunt the footy and bodies and the rest will come

Reliable not remarkable

If he signs again the contract should include mogadon in his orange juice.

Slow down until you actually need to go fast son

A fine balance? the report was undisciplined and really bad judgement, that's a long way from fine line. 

It should be pretty easy to adjust to avoid  that and go back to blocking the tackler so Trac can dribble leg breaks through the goal from the boundary

What he did was bad and he deserved his suspension, but it's very much unlike him. He is a very hard player, but he hasn't ever done anything that isn't in the spirit of the game until that incident. 

I think psychologically he probably has it at the back of his head that players are now being suspended for a variety of high hits and tackles, and maybe he is second guessing himself. It's probably subconscious. 

He needs to lay one good big tackle and get rewarded for it, and I think the doubts will go away.

We don’t get rewarded for good tackles.

He kicked 40 goals over two years at 19/20.... that's pretty consistent in my book.

If Kade is out injured this week this is the perfect game for Kozi to go nuts with a bag of 6, isolate him in the front half he will run rings around the North defense

Is Chandler out this week?

Was shown on Ch9 news hobbling in to get scans on Tuesday for a severe corkie.  5 day break will be the problem.

Tx George. 

Is Spargo coming back in?

Don't believe the contract is a problem, just doing the fine tuning.

Also in that link is an article that you can't park at the G unless you have pre purchased a ticket, how's that work if you have a walk up membership ?

Looking like it.

Yeah wouldn't mind giving him another opportunity in that role.

I think Laurie is more suited for that small forward role than Harmes.

Has he been playing in that role at Casey?

He’s been playing more midfield this season. But has played half forward previously at Casey. Very similar to Chandler’s role at Casey.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
