Anything notable from Kolt?

Burbank out of the clink?

Must only be a 2 year extension as he's contracted for 2026 already?

CaLeb Windsor

Pickett attended 70% of centre bounces in season 2025

https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1941480/afl-training-report-friday-standouts MELBOURNE’S AFL pre-season is ramping up with players putting their best foot forward this side of Christmas. While they're not full matches just yet, the group have started completing 20-minute match-like drills, with Melbourne Media trackside to scope out the notable moments. Anyone watching on would be able to quickly note that Kysaiah Pickett isn’t looking to slow down, despite having already had a career-best campaign in 2025. His quick feet and electric energy were back on Gosch’s and dare we say, with a slight edge to them, making the Demon even more of danger. A moment of excitement was a chain down the ground between K.Pickett and young draftee Xavier Taylor, the duo’s speed helping them link up through the centre and deliver the ball inside 50. Changkuoth Jiath started strong during the half-ground match-sim, his intercepting and explosive speed out of defence a standout. Through the middle and up forward, Jai Culley was as strong as ever, clunking marks and winning contests – two skills he became known for in the back-half of last season. One match-up that was particularly entertaining to watch was between Aidan Johnson and Jake Lever, who went head-to-head in the opening half. Johnson proved stronger in plenty of the one-on-ones. Brody Mihocek seemed crucial up forward, not just from his own impact, slotting a number of goals, but from his vocals, clearly using his experience to help lead the young teammates around him. Bursts of talent came from draftee Latrelle Pickett, one standout moment saw him speed down the ground, successfully taking on a number of players and coming out on top. Second-year Demon Xavier Lindsay had moments of gold. There’s exciting potential with Lindsay for 2026, who was able to put together an impressive 2025 despite having not had a full pre-season in the lead up to games. With a full pre-season under his belt, there’s no telling where he can take his game next year.

Family tree 😂 Very astute as usual

I think the first half of next year the midfield may be a rough watch, as King TINKERS with this line ups and rotations But I do genuinely believe a lot of the pieces are already there in Koz, Rivers, Langford, Lindsay, Windsor, Culley and hopefully Kolt

Being able to trade so many years in advance is making these top tier trade targets more expensive than ever unfortunately

Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera Distant cousin of AMW, ANB, and a fan of ACDC, FYI

As if we'd play AMW off a knee over a highly touted top 10* pick

Is that the younger guy in the recruiting team?

So you're saying we're in the window?

Bumping this thread post trade/draft, give us ya best 23's *This comment is proudly sponsored by @WERRIDEE FB: Taylor Disco Petty HB: Bowey Lever Lindsay C: Langdon Viney Windsor R: Gawn Rivers Pickett HF: Langford JVR Pickett FF: Fritsch Mihocek Chandler INT: Salem CJ Steele Culley Melksham EMG from: May Tholstrup Jefferson Kentfield Sparrow Adams Heath AMW I've been liberal with the positions with the more versatile guys so take them with a grain of salt Probably lacks another pressure fwd but they're no fun

A couple of first rounders will be too good for him to ignore, predicting a one year extension 🤑

Thanks for the write ups Mr. Land - this is a curious comment, what makes you feel Matthews is ahead of Laurie in the pecking order?

Be the best ever 14th or 15th ranked side ever will be ideal Bank another top 5 pick (plus GCS first rounder is handy) And hope we can improve quickly in 2027

Where were you on the 120 Games of Salo

Everyone's dead again, the tank is ON!

Culley, Kolt, XT, Onley pls
