List Mgmt. #?: Byron Pickett Jnr - Father/Son 2023

[LB2Snake]

Would love to get him to play a few vfl games if possible

I'd prefer we hide him away like * have done with Mankurra

Essendon didn’t hide Munkara, he was in the AFL academy.

He was just beyond terrible for most of last year

Hmmmm. There were rumours. Wouldn’t put it past them anyway.
I’d still rather we don’t play him in our vfl team and we overpay, like we did with Luke. Hope junior choppy turns out to be a steal.

Right now he needs to show he’s even rookie worthy.

We can hide him after he plays an eye catching game or 2/if he does

 

[giantroo]

He's playing for the Knights this year.

 

[King Corey]

He's playing for the Knights this year.

This is interesting. Kids don't routinely get up and move state.

Wonder if he's received an opportunity at a particular school or been advised his best pathway is via TAC (or alias) cup?

 

[HELLSBELLS]

Just wants to settle in Victoria and play for North.

 

[neddy36]

Dream situation is for him shoot up 5/6cm to become genuine key forward.

Praying for a growth spurt as the last height I saw listed for him was 188.

Your prayers and dreams have been answered.

 

[shinboner magic]

Hopefully boomer does some work with him during the year

 

[Engimal v3]

Great opportunity for him.

The young fellow could be a slow burn. I seem to recall Byron was a surprise pick at number 67.

Think we've seen enough with Bailey and Jacko that our FS whilst not being highly rated juniors, have a real desire to make it for our club.

The fact he's packed his life up to move over to Vic and play Knights a year out tells you everything he needs to know about his drive and determination.

 

[shinboner magic]

How many highly rated players do the knights have Souup and roos_fanatic08.
In other words will he be a regular starter

Sure he burnt a few picks but Stibbard could find gems in the mid-later rounds.

Pickett, Mooney, Harvey, Goldstein, Thomas, Adams, Thompson, Greenwood, Firrito, Petrie etc

Zurhaar, Brown and Larkey are the only booms I can think of in the last decade who were taken outside the 1st round. Might be overlooking someone. Am excluding Bailey Scott because of his father-son status.

 

[Mjs94]

Club needs to put their arms around him as much as they can and make sure he feels the love.

I know I’m repeating myself bordering Nostra territory, but I’d be surprised if he isn’t doing a preseason block with us.

That's a good thing right?

 

[Mixed Results]

It’s great news that he has moved to Melbourne. You’d think that it all but confirms that we’ll be drafting him. It’s even better news if he has shot up to 193cm as neddy36 has suggested.

Him and Nate Caddy should make a high powered forward line for the Knights. There’s a decent enough chance we could end up picking both.

Good if true. Get him ingrained into the club as much and as early as we can, get his old man down, send merch. Whatever is takes so that it is a natural progression that he nominates us.

It doesn’t help that we have been rookie drafting out delisted players

Is it too early to call Paul Curtis a second round boom?

 

[King Corey]

Is it too early to call Paul Curtis a second round boom?

It is. But the signs are good.

They were for Kieran Harper too...

[The Nostradamus]

So he must have made the knights final squad list then
