    Player Watch #36: Kozzy Pickett – 2025 All-Australian

    That was a real “it’s already dead!” moment. Wallis and Hardwick etc had already bashed the shit out of us. The most deflating thing I remember about that game was how our brilliant match up for James Hird was... Alistair Nicholson. Says it all really.

    2019 AFL draft - Jackson at 3, Pickett at 12 and Rivers at 32

    It’s not that he’s from wa that I think he’ll go home. It’s because I don’t see him getting the opportunities in his first few seasons to really excell with Gawn in his way. Eh, if we draft him I won’t lose any sleep over it, as I said I reckon he’ll be a good player and yeah I understand we’ll...

    Wtf is this? Blitz is forthright in his views but I’ve never seen him resort to abuse. Show some respect for other posters, this board has way higher standards than this.

    2019 AFL draft - Jackson at 3, Pickett at 12 and Rivers at 32

    I have to admit that Jackson looks like he will be a player. But I am baffled as to how he is going to fit at mfc, given we have a ruck for the next 5 years. Is he going to feel good about potentially still playing for Casey in 4 years time? How strong will the lure of home playing for the...

    2019 AFL draft - Jackson at 3, Pickett at 12 and Rivers at 32

    To be played well, footy demands a unique combination of skill and physicality. Always has and always will. Our list is tough enough but we severely lack skill. I can’t understand why we would recruit Jackson whose main strength is his physicality but has zero skill with ball in hand. It just...

    Training Preseason Chat - It's happening again ...

    🤦‍♂️ To be this shit is almost a skill in itself. It’s obvious why the club jumped at the chance to get an extra second round pick. We have a lot of players on the list to replace.

    2019 AFL draft - Jackson at 3, Pickett at 12 and Rivers at 32

    I am going to be so relieved when on draft night the dees bid for Tom Green at pick 3, and GWS match the bid and then we pick Hayden Young with pick 4 and we have a beautiful kick on the half back line to set up our play and everyone can go on with living their lives with calm rational minds...

    2019 AFL draft - Jackson at 3, Pickett at 12 and Rivers at 32

    The fact a team that made a grand final is about to get a top 3 prospect in the draft is a joke. The fact that they’re trying to weasel a way to get two top 4 prospects the year they make a grand final is an insult to the competition and a shameless attempt to rort the system. **** them. If the...

    2019 AFL draft - Jackson at 3, Pickett at 12 and Rivers at 32

    I don’t like this talk about doing favours for other clubs, comes across as weak to me. How do you measure when a favour is paid back? If Green turns into the next Cripps and we basically gift him to GWS for nothing, how are they ever going to pay us back for that? As far as I’m concerned, GWS...

    2019 AFL draft - Jackson at 3, Pickett at 12 and Rivers at 32

    But then the gap This would be a wonderful draft haul but it would take a combination of good trading and perfect fortune for us to pull it off. I don’t see it happening really because surely some of our targets are taken earlier than we expect (or hope). I doubt Taylor would be willing to pull...

    2019 AFL draft - Jackson at 3, Pickett at 12 and Rivers at 32

    You mean pick 39 yeah? That deal makes sense for them but then Freo seem to be paying too much just to move up 4 spots. It starts to make my head hurt speculating about the pick trading. All I know is if Kemp is gone by 8, I’ll be happy enough if we take Serong, but mostly hope we take Gould...

    2019 AFL draft - Jackson at 3, Pickett at 12 and Rivers at 32

    How will they be able to afford Green if they trade down? Don’t they need 6 to match a bid that will probably come as soon as pick 3?

    2019 AFL draft - Jackson at 3, Pickett at 12 and Rivers at 32

    I can see Sydney spoiling the party at pick 5. They have a fair bit of young talent developing very nicely at the moment and they may be willing to sit tight with Kemp for 2020. Their fans aren’t the sort that will riot if they don’t see their first draft pick that same year. Most of their fans...

    Traded #4 James Harmes – traded to Bulldogs. Thanks for 'that' kick. You know the one.

    Of course you can compare Harmes with Enright when saying that they are both super reliable but unspectacular players. It’s not the same as saying Harmes will be or is as good as Enright. I concede that Enright is probably too extreme a case to make comparisons with though since he performed...

    Traded #4 James Harmes – traded to Bulldogs. Thanks for 'that' kick. You know the one.

    What? Show me a highlights reel of Enright’s career and it would be the definition of unspectacular. It will be good though and he was undoubtedly a champ. Anyway just because a player reminds you of a past champion in a particular way isn’t the same as saying “this player is as good as this...

    Traded #4 James Harmes – traded to Bulldogs. Thanks for 'that' kick. You know the one.

    It’s probably not a good analogy, but Enright was the first player I could think of who was good at everything without being exceptional at something, in the same way that Harmes is. It’s also way easier to be AA when you play in one of the best teams of all time. Enright also was played...

    Traded #4 James Harmes – traded to Bulldogs. Thanks for 'that' kick. You know the one.

    A player that progresses from the rookie list to being a better performer than many first round picked peers is bound to be an a grader. He may not be now, but he is super consistent and will get better with more experience and confidence. He does everything well without doing anything...

    Traded #4 James Harmes – traded to Bulldogs. Thanks for 'that' kick. You know the one.

    Harmes isn’t a star, he is a gun though. He lacks a stand out attribute that all stars must have. Oliver and Gawn are both stars because they do things as well or better than just about anyone else in the league. Harmes does a lot of things (basically everything except ruckwork) well without...

    Traded #4 James Harmes – traded to Bulldogs. Thanks for 'that' kick. You know the one.

    Harmes is a gun. I don’t know what these negative nellies are smoking! He is just entering his prime, he runs harder for longer than any of our other mids, he takes marks, kicks goals and is always strong in the contest. He’s probably our most versatile and well rounded mid, and all coming off...

    List Mgmt. The 2019 Trade and Free Agency Thread

    Yeah I get that, but even if we have 3-10 ranked the same on talent, we would still have some ranked higher based on needs and moving back to 6 brings the possibility of missing out those. I just don’t see why the club would take that risk for a shit pick next year which is probably not going to...

    List Mgmt. The 2019 Trade and Free Agency Thread

    Yeah I don’t buy this “throw a blanket over 3-6 or 3-10” stuff. It just sounds like lazy analysis and probably a phrase the afl media journos repeat to hype up the draft and increase the potential for pick swaps etc, but surely your club recruiters have a clearly ranked top 10 based on talent...

    List Mgmt. The 2019 Trade and Free Agency Thread

    So the Giants are working overtime to offer us the exact same dud deal that we declined in trade week? What exactly is the incentive for us to do this deal? Pending a disastrous injury toll the Giants are going to finish top 4 next year and probably play in a grand final again so why would we...

    2019 AFL draft - Jackson at 3, Pickett at 12 and Rivers at 32

    The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of picking Gould at 8. Shades of Oliver there with the tubby lad bolter. Sometimes kids just know how to footy and also like pies. The other thing is, he has enforcer written all over him. If he’s anywhere near as good as May at ironing blokes...

    List Mgmt. The 2019 Trade and Free Agency Thread

    I don’t see how splitting pick 3 is going to happen. GWS simply don’t have the currency to satisfy us now that they can’t trade players. All they can give us to downgrade our pick 3 is a bunch of magic beans. Judd and Dusty have been taken at 3, a couple of all time greats, we’d be so stupid to...

    2019 AFL draft - Jackson at 3, Pickett at 12 and Rivers at 32

    Those are all pretty good kicks, perfectly serviceable afl standard kicks just none of them stand out amongst the afl’s elite kicks though. I think Salem has potential but doesn’t make good decisions or take risks with it. I forgot about May, he’s a really sound kick. But I’m hoping that Young...

    2019 AFL draft - Jackson at 3, Pickett at 12 and Rivers at 32

    I think what Young brings is something that is really lacking across our list and that is a beautiful kick. Maybe Salem has one, but it’s not something that springs to mind often when you think about the current mfc. Wattsy certainly had one, he didn’t do much in his time at mfc but it was nice...

    2019 AFL draft - Jackson at 3, Pickett at 12 and Rivers at 32

    I like the balance of picking these two. One deluxe disposal outside mid who will probably take 2 years to be really afl ready, the other a man child who will be afl ready from day dot but he uses the ball pretty well too. Doesn’t address our small forward issue but surely small forward is one...
