“We need him”: Max Gawn Downplays Concern Over Kozzy Pickett’s Future

Max Gawn has addressed the situation lingering over teammate Kozzy Pickett, after he reportedly sent texts to players of opposition clubs about his playing future.

“I’ll put my arm around him and make him feel as comfortable as he can, cause this year we need him,” Gawn told Triple M’s Mick In The Morning.

Pickett has been linked to a potential move to Fremantle, despite being contracted to Melbourne until the end of 2027.

“The way I see it, let’s put all our eggs into making Kozzy play the best footy currently.”

Melbourne President Brad Green set a heavy price tag for rivals interested in the small forward, requesting a minimum of three first-round draft picks.
