I suspect Kozzie might end up being better able to wear the bumps than AD. 

That said, i agree.

i hope he ends up being used like Cyril Riol- - 80% small forward 20% blitzing in the middle 

Saw a video of Pickett with his shirt off recently. Holy [censored].

If anyone is going to get knocked about this year its going to be his opponent. 

He's going to become a badass forward.

    Geelong and Collingwood love taking the legs out from underneath their opponents which explains their rugby type lower torso tactics. The policy is not going for the ball but the player, and slow them down or injure, maim etc..

    Geelong and Collingwood also have had the biggest duckers (you can swap the d for an f if you like) in recent years in Selwood and Ginnivan. They practice turning the legit chest high tackle into a free. Heaven forbid they let it happen to them!

    I hope Pickett isn't asked to play too much on-ball. Although Davey won a B&F as a midfielder, I thought it might have shortened his career because of all the crunching bumps and tackles he received in the role. Pickett will receive similar attention when he's in the midfield. 

    Midfield roles will knock him about - most probably often as he has to be stopped and thus, will be stopped. He could easily be regarded as skilful enough to hold down a midfielder's role but in all honesty, he is small and susceptible, unlike his famous uncle. His true upside is what he can do in attack from almost any position within the forward line. That includes sticky fingers for the ball, tremendous positioning and passing by hand and foot, kicking remarkably well for goal and opportunities for other teammates, reading the play and predicting when, where and how to come into the fray and the road home at 1000 mph.

    Umpires and teachers have always had their pets and those they openly hate.

    Greg Williams and  Rod Grinter were top of the charts on their hate list although Williams didnt do himself any favours.

    Rhys Jones?  ...hold my beer!!!  

    Was he dirty..yep. Pie goon  Banks was even worse. KO'd  R-J no provocation.

    He got off fairly lightly . Grinter would have copped 8 weeks for that.

    Cox just jumps into Macy's back in a crude way and injured him that way ( on QB)

    Kozzie and Davey are built quite differently - that said I wouldn't like to see more than the odd cameo of Kozzie in the midfield.  Maybe one or two centre bounces a quarter

    Yeah, Nah, I can see a thread on here titled "Kozzie Pickett made me cry"

    Given that we will have Clarrie, Tracca, Viney, Gus, Harmes, Sparrow, ANB and maybe even Salem and Bowey supported by Maxie and Grundy running through the centre, let's leave Kozzie where he does his best work - out smarting, out running and out muscling the oppos in the forward line.

    Goals wins games - if the others can get the ball down to the forward line often enough with purpose, Kozzie (and his mates) will score plenty.

    Let him the best he can.

    Cameos only from Kozzie as a mid, he is a player that discombulates opposition defences, i.e. we force oppositions to play on our terms more with him in the fwd half. As a mid he is just another good player where we bat deep already. Save him for when our mids are having an off day and we need to mix it up. Aaron Davey was also an elite kick, on a par with TJ (I'm biased), when we didn't have alot of elite kicks and we were actually ok for forwards.

    You forgot Hunter too with his elite passing!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
