Speculation Kysaiah Pickett [RFA 2027]

[Cobbler]

Fallen out of love with the "sure to come home" Warner?

He’d be in there!

 

[DragoDelph]

We need forward half class. Some of which needs to be small forward.

Pickett suits more than Warner.

 

[Revan11]

?
I would have thought the opposite

Seemed like Trac leaving prompted Kosi to think “ well without Trac we are done , I’m outa here “

I just thought Melbourne would be more willing to let Pickett go knowing their superstar is staying.

 

[LongSerong]

My immediate assumption is that Demons wouldn't want a mass exodus of Trac, Oliver, ANB and Kosi all at once. Now that the big fish is staying it's a lot easier to come to terms with others leaving IMO

 

[markm106]

Kozzy contracted to 2027 so assume it’s gonna take a decent deal to get him out. Plus he has generally been homesick so this doesn’t seem out of the ordinary.

Strange assumption to have.

 

[Jezzitizle]

Probably depends on how badly it affects him, if it has been ongoing makes me think it more likely he leaves with the dees blessing.

If he was absolutely desperate to go for family reason I feel we’d certainly look to get a deal done. But a club is going to have to come to the party. He ain’t going cheap.

If Kozzy really wanted to leave then they’d get a deal done. Because then the only players asking out are two new dads in need of family support. Different narrative than if Trac left too. Means Dee’s might be more willing to let him go.

Anyway all of that matters little because I don’t see him asking out.

2 firsts is sufficient overs you'd think?

I reckon Freo would do it too

 

[freo_leo29]

If Kozzy actually pushes this then how does it reflect if they let ANB go and make Kozzy stay?

Has Kozzy looked at his situation and gone "what about me then"

I thought ANB was out of contract. Didn’t realise he had two years left. So weird that they announced his request before the season even finished.

But yeah, I’m sure if Kozzie pushes it they’ll have to oblige (especially considering they’d get a much better return than for ANB), but it’s up to him.

I am unsure to the extent of them, but ANBs reasons are more than homesickness. It’s a bit apples and oranges.

Technically so are Kozzies supposed reasons. “Homesickness” isn’t really the same as “lacking family support with a newborn.”

Unless you mean ANB has even further reasons.

if that's how you think he's worth then you have been living under a rock. 2 firsts is absolutely what he is worth if he was out of contract but no Dees fan would trade him for 2 firsts if given the option.

We’ve been here and done that with many a Freo player. You rarely get what you want.

We literally had this situation with Schultz last year and we received 35 and a future 1st, which we were all pumped to have ending up as 10.

You’ll get offered 2 x firsts with things coming back to us.

Is it fair? Overs? Nah, never is, but you go ahead and hold him if he wants out and see how that turns out.

You are not the best at this and that's why you aren't a list manager

Picks 10 + 17 is equal to pick 3 in value. If Port go out in straight sets then that only increases in value. These two picks can be packaged to move up the draft order. Throw in some steak knives and it is a decent package. If we throw in a F1 I want their F2 back and some salary covered.

Basic maths is factual

This is why logic defies emotion

I actually see it differently. They are either rebuild mode or contention mode.

I think of he really pushed it , we’ll look to do a deal. Realistically ANB is easily done with a second. Kozzy will obviously take more to do.

[schmuttt]

If we could pick any 2 players from any team these 2 would have to be in the top 20 for what we actually need.

Gulden would be cool.
Would love a Toby Green.
Rankine would be great.
I couldn’t get to 10 names before one of these would pop up.

Am I being biased?

Where does Jesse Hogan rank?

 

[Cobbler]

Where does Jesse Hogan rank?

Not in my top 20. I’m content with Treacy and Amiss.

 

[s_wd6]

Where does Jesse Hogan rank?

I know you’re trying to be smart, but not really a priority with Treacy and Amiss (and Jackson occasionally)
