I'll sign a petition to keep Byron ... away from the fridge.

Maybe sign him up to the Army Reserves to spend six weeks running around the ouback. Not many pies out there...

Go PICKY!!!!!

Love watching him run someone down and throw them to the ground, even if he gives away a free kick it's still great to watch!!

Having seen him Sat' night his hardness was a real tonic for the Dees, he may well be a fine player under a coach that won't smother our players creativity, & allow a bit of spirit to go on.

It depends who else goes, but even if Pickett played another season decently I'm not sure what that would really achieve for us in the end. Considering we lack talls, a guy like Holland is probably more useful as a 30+ re-signing.

pickett would be the first player i would delist at years end.

he will definitely retire in 1-2 years. therefore he is not our future. When you have 1-2 years left then you should be a definite starting 18 if you want to keep your place on the list.

Pickett is depth at most.

is seems that some people just accept mediocrity...are even happy with it. Pickett is NOT our future. he should not be taking the place of younger versions who need developing.

The only way i would keep him our list is if we were going for a premiership next year. WE ARE NOT!

Keep him.

One of the rare MFC players who has a sharp edge about him, as well as the exciting X-factor

Make his contract performance based, so Byron can't afford to stuff up again (he has about 5 kids to feed!!!)

Delist Warnock, Ferguson, Ward, Neville while Brown will retire. Blokes like Holland, Pickett and Jamar will be on the borderline.

When it comes to coaching Pickett, what sort of night-before-match spirit are you referring to?

a speculative yes. Depending on his attitude around the club for the rest of the year . he was fanastic against the bulldogs. Welcome back Bryon.

When Pickett fires noone can stop him. So fire up Byron.

Wrong. Each player is responsible for the effort and work on their body size and fitness. A fitness trainer only sets the planning and advice. Pickett has a slack attitude and wont do the work necessary.

Would you rather Godfrey or Pickett on the list next year?

Neither.

Sorry to hijack the thread a little bit,

Godfrey.

At least when Godfrey is not playing he sets a good example of hard work and determination.

If the club wants a fat, useless, unwilling, lack of commitment player approaching 30, then I may as well get the boots out of the closet, I am their man.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
