Melbourne has plotted an early-season plan for Kysaiah Pickett to regularly fly north to see his one-year-old daughter without missing AFL games as he prepares to play alongside relative Latrelle Pickett on Sunday. A series of meetings between the club’s hierarchy, welfare team and his manager this week has the club confident he will take on St Kilda and find a way to manage the early months of the season. Pickett flew to Darwin earlier in the week to be with his daughter Belleny after a separation from his partner in recent weeks but is expected to fly back into Melbourne on Thursday night. It would allow him to train on Friday and Saturday and then play against St Kilda at the MCG on Sunday, with all signs pointing to a debut for his housemate and cousin Latrelle.
