How many home games do GC play in Darwin? I am sure the AFL could manipulate something to make sure they lure KP.

    Two per year but it’s understood Gold Coast are trying to reduce that to one game or even none.

    Add to that by the time he signed we'd lost Gus and probably knew we'd be losing ANB. We needed stability and leadership around the place (confirmed when you see what has happened over the last 6 months). Also worth remembering that in the year that he re-signed he won the Bluey as our best player.

    Some people seem to have learned nothing from the moving on of James McDonald.

    The McDonald situation was completely different. We weren't pushing Viney out, he was still contracted. He was the one exploring a trade to North and we extended him unnecessarily. We should have told him he is required but if he wished to explore his options that was up to him. We could've offered a one year extension not 3.

    Chalk and cheese.

    It's a nice change from Danger constantly complaining about games and seasons being too long.

    If Kozzy wanted to leave to be closer to Darwin , could we possibly trade Kozzy for Butters? Hope it doesn't come to this though

    A series of meetings between the club’s hierarchy, welfare team and his manager this week has the club confident he will take on St Kilda and find a way to manage the early months of the season.

    Pickett flew to Darwin earlier in the week to be with his daughter Belleny after a separation from his partner in recent weeks but is expected to fly back into Melbourne on Thursday night.

    It would allow him to train on Friday and Saturday and then play against St Kilda at the MCG on Sunday, with all signs pointing to a debut for his housemate and cousin Latrelle.

    The club’s highest-paid player is on a $12.5 million deal that extends to nine seasons.

    The 24-year-old had been thrilled to be so close to first-round draftee Latrelle Pickett across summer and had put in a flawless summer that meant he was in career-best shape.

    Pickett’s manager Anthony Van Der Wielen has been in town meeting with Melbourne across the weekend and putting in place preliminary plans for the weeks and months ahead.

    The best-case scenario is that Pickett doesn’t miss early-season games but is able to make quick trips north before returning for the main training sessions across the week.

    The Demons bye is in round 16, but they do have an eight-day break after Adelaide’s Gather Round clash leading into round 6 and an eight-day break leading into round 8.

    Having signed a new seven-year contract extension Pickett had finally committed to spending his AFL career in Melbourne and the club’s drafting of Latrelle only solidified that view.

    It is a far-from-ideal lead-in to a debut game for Latrelle but the No. 12 draft selection has taken the pre-season in his stride.

    Coach Steven King said on Wednesday the club would work with Pickett throughout the season to help him return to Darwin when required.

    “Kozzie needed to get back for family reasons and I fully support any father at our club to make sure they get to support their family. It was a no-brainer for us,’ King said.

    “He will play (on Sunday). I want to provide flexibility for our staff and players. Family is equally or more important than a game of footy, and we can make the two coexist.”

    Demons captain Max Gawn said on Thursday he was confident Pickett would play against St Kilda.

    “I get why it’s news because he’s the best player in our team. His family is in Darwin. My family is in Malvern, so it’s easier for me. So he’s had to go back to Darwin,” Gawn said.

    “It’s a real mature decision from all involved, and ideally, he’s back tonight for our training session tomorrow. Nothing to see here, it’s just unlucky his family is four hours away on a flight.”

    Melbourne has plotted an early-season plan for Kysaiah Pickett to regularly fly north to see his one-year-old daughter without missing AFL games as he prepares to play alongside relative Latrelle Pickett on Sunday.

    A series of meetings between the club’s hierarchy, welfare team and his manager this week has the club confident he will take on St Kilda and find a way to manage the early months of the season.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
