Kysaiah "Kozzy" Pickett vs Cody Weightman
Same draft, both first rounders, both play the same position.
As the Industry Super ads go, Compare the Pair so far.
Over to you.
The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

Re: Kysaiah "Kozzy" Pickett vs Cody Weightman
It's a fascinating debate, one that will follow them thorought their careers.
They are both guns and they'll probably play 500 games between them.
They're watchable, marketable, loved by commentators, fan favourites at their own clubs.
I honestly can't split them at the moment.

Re: Kysaiah "Kozzy" Pickett vs Cody Weightman
The thing I like about Flea is he does it in the air and at ground level. If he can’t get you one way, he’ll get you the other. Kozzie has shown a lot too and would be brilliant in our side. His ability to apply pressure and do it physically is a big asset, along with his goal sense.
Hard to split them - but I’m going to back our man in.

Re: Kysaiah "Kozzy" Pickett vs Cody Weightman
Pretty close statistically. Perhaps Cody with a slight advantage in goals and GAs. Better marking game too, much. Both clubs would be very happy. Even their combine results were similar, with Cody just doing a bit better too. Either club would’ve drafted the other too. Playing good finals footy already.
I’m stoked we have who we have. That’s for sure. He’s got 20 games less experience, so there’s more growth to come to make a comparison closer and/or better yet again.

Re: Kysaiah "Kozzy" Pickett vs Cody Weightman
Cody ignites us more than Pickett does them. Takes better hangers too.

Re: Kysaiah "Kozzy" Pickett vs Cody Weightman
Have not watched all Melbourne games but from what I’ve seen Cody is a better mark & more reliable kick for goal. Would not swap for Pickett although both are exciting players & both great dream players for marketing too.

Re: Kysaiah "Kozzy" Pickett vs Cody Weightman
I'd love Pickett on our team, and we should (if cap allows) make a play for him when the time comes, great natural crumber.
Right now tho, Weightman any day of the week.

Re: Kysaiah "Kozzy" Pickett vs Cody Weightman
Weightman's a yard slower which is normally key for small forwards but his toolbox makes him a tougher matchup
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

Re: Kysaiah "Kozzy" Pickett vs Cody Weightman
Pickett is a better player at the moment. You can’t judge Pickett off pure stats he is inciting panic into backlines with his pace and agility. As well as he is going Cody is a little one dimensional at the moment for mine in comparison.

Re: Kysaiah "Kozzy" Pickett vs Cody Weightman
Good comparison. Slightly different players IMO. Cody a key forward type with intense pressure, Pickett a speedy crumber.
I love Weightman, so probably him - but would genuinely be delighted w either of them.

Re: Kysaiah "Kozzy" Pickett vs Cody Weightman
Think both clubs would be pretty happy. Pickett probably edges Cody slightly as I'd say on the balance of things, Pickett is a player that is harder to keep 'out' of the game if you were trying specifically to shut him down. I'd be very happy with either, and am very happy with Cody - particularly the spirit he brings to the group.

I don't get the one dimensional comment in relation to Cody, who I think kicks goals in a number of different ways and applies very good forward half pressure... can you explain what you mean?

Re: Kysaiah "Kozzy" Pickett vs Cody Weightman
Cody is a great finisher, brings pressure and energy, elite marking for his size. Heaps of great tools and exactly what we need in our forward line.
Hopefully with more experience he irons out the decision making when it comes to leaping at the ball. He can be like an annoying kid wanting to get involved in everything his older brothers are doing but other than that, he's absolute gold.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

In comparison I think he is more one dimensional, not that he is particularly one dimensional in isolation. Certainly not meant as a criticism just a comparison. It is a difficult balance for him because he needs to use his aerial assets but there is times we miss that pure front and square player that Cody has shown glimpses of.
He is getting most of his goals from set shots (marks or free kicks) and I would like to see him get a few more at ground level before I have him ahead of Picket. Of course you could mount an argument that Pickett is one dimensional for getting most of his at ground level but I feel he is doing more in multiple areas of the game.
