Is Kozzi Pickett a top 10 player

[yulong]

20 & 2 with a few weeks left.

 

[fnerd]

Wasn’t one of the reasons he signed in cause he loved goody and had such good relationship with him?
…oh well enjoy racking up the big numbers 8+ years in an absolute dumpster fire of cub kozzie

Oh come on hahaha
Kozzy would know it’s likely Goodwin was gone if not this year next when signing that contract.

 

[Veer Right]

no.

I've had the slows on Pickett due to consistency, but he's 5 games away from having an incredible year for a mid/forward.

He's 5 games off having a 45 goal season on his current goal average, while averaging 20 disposals.

To put that into perspective, Cyril's best years (3 x All Australian) don't come close.

Finished on 40 goals and under 20 disposals for the season.
The final month is what hurt him. Dropped away as was expected. Simply cannot play at that level for entire season and it is why his disposal tally will drop off next year. He is a flash in the pan highlights reel. Certainly not capable of becoming a consistent 18-20 disposal midfielder/forward.

Is certainly paid like a top 10 player tho.
That contract Could really come back to haunt the dees.

It will come back to hurt them.
Seriously, other than Greene, how many league footballers in the modern era listed under 5ft'11 have become perennial household names and worthy of 900k per annum?

Rioli, Betts, Neale? and it gets thin thereafter.

Serong, Daicos, Butters, Rankine, Merrett, Ablett jnr, Mark Lecras, Akermanis to name a few.

Actually 4- 5 of the top 7 in the brownlow are under 6 ft for the last 2 years.

 

[My Tilly]

Serong, Daicos, Butters, Rankine, Merrett, Ablett jnr, Mark Lecras, Akermanis to name a few.

Daicos, Butters, Ablett, LeCras were all 6ft' and over.

And I don't really assess greatness by Brownlow medals as they are a midfielders award and the likes of Carey, Matthews, Bontempelli have never won it despite being the best in the competition for a number of years.

And Serong, is he really a household name. I mean certainly not here in Victoria he's not.

No where near it ..,, absolutely conditional.

He is 24yr and improved year on year. Players are better managed these days with longer careers. Just had a season av of 19.6 disposals and 2 goals in pretty tumultuous year. What makes you think he's a flash in the pan?

 

[Daka]

Can we also turn this thread into - Kozzy Pickett - Can he be the GOAT

may aswell since Daicos & Sheezel have one.

 

[crackers65]

Well ****, not all of us are able to pay our players unders on the books because they're get farm land, endorsements, etc. off the books (which the AFL somehow approves). Should be an asterisk next to the 2022 premiership.

Rubbish. Everyone is jealous of Geelong because of their continued success. I wish my club was good enough to use their resources as well as the pussies.

When I said flash in the pan, I meant it as a compliment. He's a highlights reel but can he remain a perennial gun forward who rotates through midfield and racks up 20 disposals a week?

I just don't see it remaining so. He would become one the greatest players of all time if he managed it.

I reckon he kicks 50 goals next year but his weekly disposal tally drops back down to 14-15 disposals.

They are not 6ft and over. Daicos I don't believe no way he is 6ft. Butters 181, Ablett 182, Le Cras 182.
Serong is a star player, 24 Vice captain 2 AA 2 b and f rising star and about to add another b and f and possibly an AA.

Pickett is 171cm tall. Name another player who became and all time champion at that stature in the modern era?
As I said, very few under the height of 179cm have gone on to become household names.

Daicos is 184cm tall.
Butters is four inches taller than Kosi and plays like it as a bulldozing midfielder. Ablett was 182cm and 90kg (big bodied mid) and LeCras, again, 184cm tall.

Diesel Williams would be worth 1.5 million if he was running around today. Akermanis likewise but not many more then on.

Simply put, paying Kosi Pickett almost a million per year is ridiculous money.

Certainly has a good 3cm or more of height of Taylor Adams

(180cm). It's because Nick has short legs which gives the impression he is smaller than what he actually is.

I don't agree with you, name a player that can move like him and do the things he does? He has added the ability to go to the midfield and get 25 touches in a game as well. I think he will have a period of time in his career where he is the best player in the game. He is very very strong and explosive. Zac Merrett is another player that is short and has been a success. I see Pickett as a player like Ablett snr that plays a lot bigger than he is because his speed and hardness is superior. I would pay him 900 k a year with no hesitation, genuine game winner.

He averages a couple of contested marks every year.

If contested marks were available in the 80's and early 90's, Ablett would have averaged two contested marks every game. And remember, Ablett was matched up on a couple of opponents at any given time. Often had to smash the pack and bring the ball to ground. Pickett waits at the base of the pack to pounce on the loose ball. Completely different type of player.

Top 10 worst players at Melboure? Absolutely.

I just mean his presence for size, people know he is coming.

Anyway we have different opinions on this player. When I see the players demanding 900 k I would take him without a moment of hesitation. I could have 2 of him or 1 TDK haha !

Yes but the question is, is he a top 10 player?
I can think of 15 other names before him and I certainly don't think De Koning is top 10 either.

 

[ray_purchase]

Just a lazy 40 goals from the midfield, after missing the first three games of the season.
