My two bobs' worth: it's great. He is fantastic to watch, incredible ability to get out of trouble cleanly, galvanises the team, can turn a game.

And if it means we get a few more Picketts over the years, that's got to be a good thing.

Great news. Still amazing he's only 23. Feel's like he's been around a lot longer.

Are if someone like Fred does try a raid at some point (Certainly possible at some point int he next 9 years) we can set terms.

Wonderful highlights, but do not unmute unless you are a fan of cheesy, crappy background music.

Gotta leave it on, though, for the unbridled superlativing* in the commentary! 😄

Steve said it would be announced this morning. What do you reckon of that @dazzledavey36 ?

I have no doubt the contract was signed yesterday in private and then announcement this morning. Every journo around the country yesterday were pretty saying it was a done deal, just waiting for the announcement on an official capacity.

Even the statement released by Green and Tim Lamb. That isn't a spur of the moment thing that was created this moment, these would have been carefully drafted yesterday.

It's all about timing and the MFC have timed this beautifully well.

On that money & deal I'm expecting him now to step up more & he must be kicking at least a couple of goals each week & his defensive pressure has to get better.

That has improved over the past few weeks but at times he still jogs around & can look for the easy handball over the top.

However now I'm just glad the trade speculation will stop.

Hope he has a ripping game this week.

He’s averaging 2.1 gpg this year which is rated elite, also elite for tackles i50, marks i50, centre clearances, one percenters and score involvements.

Comments from other club supporters saying we were played and overpaid, only thing for certain is he signed.

Its a beautiful day, now to win this weekend.

Fredmantle.

Maybe one year too long?

Should only need eight to overtake D.Neitz and N.Jones.

With increasing salary caps, like the signing of Franklin by the swan discounts the real value of the big contracts signed now over their life.

The Demon Shop sells jumper numbers and they have an industrial press (a household iron isn’t hot enough). They charge $13 per numeral.

Best to call them before heading in because they don’t have every number in stock at all times.

Well called yesterday GW.👍😁

Ha ha!

When I clicked on this thread, I was taken to the last page I looked at:

February 15, P. 48.

So much doom and gloom, no wonder I hadn’t visited this thread since.

And the season hadn’t even started. I often wonder if the perpetual nay sayers are just visiting to stir up trouble, or they have a nasty case of MFCSS??

Let’s toast to a long and distinguished career 🥂

Yeah!

What a [censored]!

Always has been.

(I thought he was a list manager for a sec!!)

Who’ll be the first overpaid footy commentator to say we "paid overs"? Barrett? Kane?

Probably the same goose who would’ve lost his mind if we’d let him go to Freo.

Well, that does cheer me up.

Realistically Pickett is one of the all-time greats of the 'small forward who slides through the midfield' role that has become crucial in the contemporary game.

This contract is also an emphatic reminder that there is life after this season and something to look forward to.

Now we can also begin to really enjoy watching the All-Australian match-up, which is currently

Pickett in the smalle forward plus midfield role doesn't have any close rivals for performance.

Jamie Elliot and Jack Higgins are the 'small forward only' competitors.

Pleasingly, Toby Greene is not on the pace this season, and even tiktok is starting to think Nick Watson is a bit overrated. I have no reason to mention Watson except to mention he is not worth mentioning.

There will be plenty of 36s going on the back of jumpers, my son included.

I told him to hold off earlier this year now he'll go through at least 3 more sizes during kozzys contract

Here you go. It’s little Ralphy 🙄

Maynard just signed on for four more years.

If that [censored] stain is worth 4, Kosi is worth 400

It is time to get used to long contracts. They are going to be the norm for established players and young stars. They’re even the norm for bog ordinary snippers 🙄

It’s so funny. Is the idea Fremantle faked their interest so Melbourne would pay 200k a year more on an extensions they were going to offer anyway?

Reality. Freo and west coast tried. The dees flexed and blew them totally out of the water.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
