  1. Isnt Rozee family all from SA??
  2. Glad you asked this. Played forward and ruck as a young teen. If you want my honest opinion, I think he can just as good as a forward as he can as a defender. His game IQ and smarts is very high for a kid of his age. Reads the game extremely well and his contested marking and ability to catch the ball at his highest point is why recruiters think that he'll go inside top 10. His work rate on top of that is pretty impressive also. Some clubs don't see him purely as a defender and there's a thought that clubs could use a pick on him purely because there's more upside with his forward craft then defender.
  3. We've interviewed with Connor O' Sullivan from the Murray Bushrangers.
  4. He was given the nickname by Mark Brayshaw (Angus Dad) because he looked and reminded him of Craig Sholl who use to play at North. Sholl's nickname at North was "Knuckles"
  5. We'll beat these [censored]
  6. If you go to the finals week before against Sydney, he was actually non existent. He's still young, but when maybe I've got too much expectations thinking back to someone like Cyril Rioli who I compare him too, and he just use to stand up in big games especially come September. When we're all looking for that someone to just to take the game of the scruff it shouldn't be left up to the usuals of Gawn Oliver and Petracca, but someone like Pickett to really stamp his mark in big games. I'm seeing it with Trent Rivers now.
  7. I think what you're trying to say is that does he stand up in big games? I love Pickett and the excitement he brings to supporters especially younger generation coming through. He's Jeff Farmer to me when I was s young tacker starting out as a Melbourne supporter. But yes, I have noticed it's a growing pattern for me that in the big games where it's the heat of the moment he tends to go missing. In fairness to Pickett though I still think sometimes he's not coached to his strengths. I'm sometimes tearing my hair out when we're either under the pump or getting beaten around stoppage, for Goodwin to at least throw Pickett in the midfield to provide a spark. Not only that, it gets him into the game a bit more. His ball use and ability to slip in and out of congestion with speed and use his vision to hit up a teammate is very impressive. Lately he's attending first centre bounce and then we hardly see him in there again. Would like a journo to bring this up in the next presser around using Pickett more in the midfield.
  8. I think you and a few other are underestimating the Hawks. They've beaten Brisbane and Collingwood and given a few teams in the top half a run for the money. Whilst they had the likes of Lewis and Newcombe out, we also had Fritsch and Petty who pretty much make up our forward line. I think more positives out of this game the negatives purely because Petracca, Oliver, Pickett all were well held yet we still found a way to win. My honest opinion? I think we are well placed far better then 2022 and I can certainly see us going all the way to a preliminary final, even a grand final.
  9. Tom McCartin suspended for 2 weeks
  10. We've got a good system in place. We're good at grinding teams and then breaking away when we can because teams can't keep up. I was nervous like all supporters, but I knew if we could just clean up our skill level we would eventually break away which we did. Good hard fought win and plenty of positives to take away from.
  11. Told you pre-game we'd win comfortable.
  12. Sub kozzie out please
  13. Oskar Baker and Hugh Greenwood story made the throat lumpy..
  14. Petracca just picking today to sell teammates into trouble at every opportunity
  15. Petracca just got outmarked by a first gamer... [censored] poor effort by Trac
  16. Off to the Roos
  17. Playing like a team that's making up numbers for finals.
  18. Steven May playing lazy football
  19. Schache sub. I love this. It's different by Goodwin and innovative. Gives us flexibility whether that's in the ruck or up forward.
  20. Have they taken Woewodin off??
  21. Some of our poor turnovers were from senior players who should be doing much better at this level. Only one who is putting their hand up for selection are Woewodin and Daniel Turner.
  22. You clearly didn't watch Danihers last quarter against Freo few weeks back when he smashed Jackson in the ruck and won them the game....
  23. Where's Ben Brown?
  24. We'll win comfortably.
