    Re: Kysaiah "Kozzy" Pickett vs Cody Weightman

    Pickett has a better pressure game and Weightman has a better aerial game.

    Generally speaking you prefer the former in a small forward which may mean Pickett gets the nod.

    Not that Cody is a slouch in that area either

      Don't tell the Bombers Buffoons:

      1.8 Frees For 0.9

      Kozy has more Frees For than Cody.

        It's probably coaching/ game day tactics/ strategy but on the face of things it looks like Pickett has a little bit more of an impact in transition, which probably leads him to get more crumbing opportunities on the follow up forward running.

        Cody seems to have a starting position closer to goal facing the play.

          Kozi is more of an opportunist and if the opportunities don't come, then he doesn't get the ball, whereas I feel Cody is in there all the time creating opportunities.

          I do like Kozi's speed and he would compliment Cody in our forward line.

            That is probably a very good call. Pickett is getting much higher and running at defenders or towards his own goal far more often. Cody showed he can do that against Port when he created a goal and also late in the game on the weekend.

              We seem to ask Cody to play 'taller' than he is, and something about our system or structure doesn't seem to enable him to lurk around packs in the forward 50 the same way Melbourne's allows Kozy to. But he's such a dynamite set shot that marks and frees work exceptionally well for him, and he contests hard for marks despite always giving away height. Bevo likes to foster a given player's strengths so I'd bet that's why Cody plays the way he does.

              I wonder what Cody would look like in a forward line that was built around bringing the ball to ground rather than taking contested pack marks? We seem to want small forwards but I'm never sure we'd know what to do with them if we had them. The days of Picken and Stringer are over.

                It’s interesting that to the eye. At the combine they tested near identical for speed over 20m. Perhaps the exact role allows Pickett to show more of it. On the flip side, Cody shows great speed to smoother once or twice a game.

                  Re: Kysaiah "Kozzy" Pickett vs Cody Weightman

                  They are just different players.

                  Pickett is a 'small' forward.
                  Weightman is a medium forward.

                  Weightman is a crumber I guess but generates a lot of his opportunities on the lead - pushing up/getting back etc.
                  Pickett is primarily a crumber.

                  Even though (looking at the more effective non-key talls from this century) Phil Matera and Stephen Milne are about the same size, Milne was a SMALL forward (like Pickett) and Matera a medium forward (like Weightman). It isn't about size, shape or anything other than playing style...Pickett is more like Betts and Weightman more like Jeff Farmer...

                  Who is better? Well - it depends what you want. Both players seem to be going well right now...I think having a genuine crumber type in the side would really help Weightman but he's making it work.
                  What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

                    Kozzy is a freakish small with great pressure skills, Weightman is a marking small that can pull off the extraordinary and plays taller than he his. You'd be happy with either of them but I feel Weightman's superior strength and marking ability puts him ahead.

                      Mathew Lloyd said on Footy Classified that Weightman lives with an ex player (forget who he said... maybe Blumfield?). Anyway, apparently Weightmen does "everything he possibly can to be the best he can be. He has stated he wants to be the best small forward in the game".

                      Gotta love that! He'll get every ounce out of his ability. We've got a gem.

                        Eddie said on Sunday on Fox Footy that his son is good mates with Cody, such he holidayed with them (might have been Eddie’s mansion in the peninsula). Eddie said despite the fun going on, Cody stayed off the booze and at sparrows fart was training every morning. Really impressed Eddie. Also said he’s just a ripping kid and is full of life all the time. Just loves him.

                        Garcia is also in that friendship group and Eddie was a fan of his too.

                          Weightman lives with Angus Monfries, which is completely hilarious when you think what Monfries was like as a player.

                            That is pretty funny.
                            They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
