i'm thrilled

kid looks superb in the highlights video

can't go wrong with an indigenous kid being pick 12 - cyril, kozi, kuzzy

love it

Tbh.... gobsmacked..

First reaction.... overs...

But......

Why have one whirving dervish when you can have ....TWO.

Going to be fascinating to see if this 'left field " selection is actually... 'inspired'

Fun times ahead...

Interesting pick Dees

Pickett household must be going........ OOOOFFFFFFFFF !!!

I love how ballsy we have been. Bring on 2026!

Titillating highlights

Love the pick. Needed another x factor forward and got one.

What i said before ...lol

Very interesting pick, good family history with the footy though I mean I can't wait to see both Pickets playing together I think that will be special.

JT isn't using a high first round pick just to make kozzy happy.

We clearly rate this guy on his own merits as someone who will be a great player for our club.

I remember there were demonlanders who rated cody weightman over Kozzy back in 2019.

Can't wait to see some x2 Pickett magic next year.

We have a 3 picket fence

I have nfi if this is good use of P12 or not.

My only thought at this stage is (IMO) LP has better chance at integrating/oerforming in a 'King gameplan' (attacking) than a 'Goodwin gameplan' (possession terriitory over-defensive tripe).

What's his relationship to kozzie?

Cuzzy Pickett

an unexpected pick 12, on memory so was Jackson and Koz a few years ago. JT see's what we need in this kid and he's got Koz to learn from and play with. Makes us much more dynamic when he get on the park with the top side this year/. (I expect he'll get good game time at least early in the season)

Dunno some are saying he only played 2nd division ressies, will he get games this year?

“We really should have taken a midfielder we didn’t rate!!”

How many mids do we have to bloody take? Windsor, Lindsay, Langford, even some say Tholstrup is better as a mid.

??

Not sure I’d be brave enough to bet against a Pickett becoming a good player.

Welcome to the Dees LSP!

May well play early in the season. Has good endurance and did a good 2km.

Promising rookie me profile. Will allow Kosi to play more mid and be extra dangerous when he (Kosi) drifts forward. Speed and X Factor - i like it.

Latrelle Pickett Draft Profile - Aussie Rules Rookie Me Central (formerly AFL Draft Central)

STRENGTHS:

+ Scoreboard impact
+ Speed
+ Vertical leap
+ X-factor

IMPROVEMENTS:

- Defensive work rate
- Exposure

The Cuz and Koz show! Could it revive memories of Jimmy and Phil Krakouer? Now that was a show.

Add Steele, Viney, Rivers and Kozzie too.

We aren’t short of mids, we’re short of a cohesive midfield that has played many games together, to which, the only way to get that cohesion is for them to play together.

Not just saying…

You’re quite brilliant sometimes you know?

This is an inspired pick thats goes far beyond game day.

& this is why you go to the footy.

Buckle up fam

Cuz Pickett. Has to be the nickname.

Cuz and koz bring it on
