We had some good conversations with him but he’s told us that he’s happy in Perth and will be re-signing with Freo. 

He could be more happy in Melbourne, things change 💰

Nup. Never do. 

As I have noted many times i decided to stop getting caught up and wound up by players leaving  or rumoured to be leaving after being devastated and furious when Gerard Healy defected to the swans.

That decision has saved me much angst over the years - not least in the last six months with all the tracc, clarry and koz want out, where there's smoke there's fire nonsense.

If he goes, he goes. Just as I said about tracc we hold the whip hand in any negotiations so we'll do fine.

Depends what having him for 3 more years is worth, besides we could always demand a player back doesn’t have to be picks, on top of that if it’s just go home then why not wc 

Yeah, Harley Reid seems like a fair swap if Freo don't want to let go of Andrew Brayshaw.


We could take a leaf out of Peter Bell's book in his dealings with us for the Cerra* trade i.e. Freo' don't have the trade currency to entertain a discussion let alone a deal.

In Harry hindsight, I'm glad we missed out on Cerra and hope we miss out on Peter Bell for CEO.

They sure do. Let's see what happens. I won't be holding my breath.

If he wants to go why can’t he go to the Eagles? 

He might have to... just because he wants to go to the Dockers doesn't mean they can get a deal done with 2 years running on a contract.

If they finish top 8 this season their 1st pick won't be enough, however you would think the Eagles will be in the bottom 4.

I'm still hopeful he plans to stay for at least the next 2 years, but plenty of water to go under the bridge.

I also love how the media come out and speak as if its a fait accompli, completely ignoring the fact he's contracted and not a free agent. That's the way they operate these days though, because trade talk is the number one seller of news.

I have no idea if Bell wants the Melbourne CEO role, or whether Melbourne wants Bell. But, just for the purposes of this thread discussion, let's just say that's going to happen. How should Bell deal with this latest Pickett news/gossip right now?

If he met the height requirement he’d be overqualified!

Pretty obvious it's Michael Walters in the photo, who Kozzie looks up to. If he starts liking photos of Neil Erasmus, we'll know he's gone

I don't mind if he leaves.  It will accelerate the rebuild.

Good to know you don't read replies and reactions.

Can I ask you a few questions?

Why do you post a football fan forum?

Do you take the same approach to texts and emails?

Are you wanting other posters to make a note of some sort that you don't read replies and reactions?

Are you a bot?

That's a pity, I was going to offer you $1000 to expand on your thoughts ...

Anyone who openly writes that they don’t read replies or reactions is admitting that that’s all they read - and that it really affects them. Try not to take the reactions to your terrible opinions too seriously…

Also talk that Freo are heavily into Ian Hill from Collingwood.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
