Player Watch #36: Kozzy Pickett – stacking up with the best after 100 games

[Johnny Karate]

Happy to hear Kozzy signed on. Hopefully his contract is fat enough he can pay some people to be friends with him.

Hopefully he can pay your dentist bill also.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Need this bloke to step up next few weeks. He's our only X Factor player and I reckon he's a firestarter to our form as well. Freo and Blues are games I'd expect him to play well in.

 

[schmuttt]

I dont get how the coaches don’t see his round 1 game where he had significant CBAs and don’t continue that trend. This is literally the best time to do it now Chandler is playing well.

I agree re CBA, although Chandler has been invisible the last three weeks. This would be a good week to bring Laurie in to rotate between midfield and forward with Pickett.

Chandler playing a tough part of the ground to consistently be up, but three weeks running is a concern to be invisible. Definitely need more from our small forward brigade or ANB, Chandler, Spargo and Kozzy. These guys need to ramp up the pressure. We can't take a mark inside our F50, so we need these blokes to keep the ball locked in or at least put pressure on the blokes kicking the ball out of our defensive half.

Probably because you have guys like Oliver and Viney who have to be at everyone they are on the ground for which leaves little rotation for others. If Trac does 50% there's only a handful left to give out and that includes Sparrow, Jordan, Koz etc.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Man'd up at centre bounces doesnt equal tagged mate

So is he tagged or scragged? Or partially tagged but mostly scragged?

Perhaps it's just all scrag and no tag.

 

[netslave]

what's up bro?

 

[schmuttt]

Needs a week in the VFL.

Goody has been terrible managing the smalls (Again) this year. There is absolutely no reason why we shouldn't have dropped/rested guys earlier but its taken him 17 weeks to drop Chandler when the guy was clearly stuffed after 8 weeks.

 

[jhong]

Has been very underwhelming this season ( apart from round 1 ) .

 

[KickLongTackleHard]

He can sprint the full length of the ground to apply pressure or get on the end of a chain and we all know he can turn on a dime, but he’s not doing that. Dunno if it’s just work rate or he hasn’t adjusted well to the bigger body.

 

[Lord Nev]

Should be dropped this week, and I blame Goody as much as Koz for that. Not doing anything to remedy his form, particularly when it would have benefited our midfield is bizarre.

I will consult the ever reliable Wheelo tomorrow for CBAs, but I’m gonna say it’s safe to assume the number will be 0.

 

[Jamurp]

He was honestly so good in round 1, 4 goals and 19, wonder if the bump and suspension has rattled him, really hope he can find some form again, footy so much better when he’s on.

 

[Topkent]

Yeah nah he was crap. A good coach would have got around him by now and said forget the scoreboard, I want a game of 10+ tackles and some smothers and then build from there. Instead it seems to be same old same old.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Trying to think of a worse re-signing than this currently and can't.

Gus

This is worse than Gus mate (on form) Fatty can find the ball still, Pickett can't even get his hands on it and when he does he's not doing much with it either.

Pickett's young though, Gus is 28 and been shit most of his career Pickett's just out of form

 

[Crusty Demon]

Seems to be a pattern. Sign a contract then immediately turn into a spud. Last night was atrocious from Koz. Needs a spell

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Pickett's young though, Gus is 28 and been s**t most of his career Pickett's just out of form

What I meant was ROI so far. Gus is clearly ahead since both signed.

Fair enough, don't know what happened here it's like the standards at the whole club have slipped.

We could still trade him to Port for Butters if Port are keen

The Dr is Butters elite yet?

I wanted Kossie and a first (if he wanted out) for Butters in preseason ):
