    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.

    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).

    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)

    “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.

    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.

    Highlights are SANFL (Glenelg) 'twos' level, I believe. I'm looking forward to the recruiting team's observations on his readiness for and path into our AFL 'ones'. Might be a short-term element of 'project'?

    But exciting in the bigger picture!

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
