Dockers on red alert for Pickett pair ahead of Demons clash
By Josh Kemtpon
Kysaiah Pickett produced a dominant performance in Melbourne’s stunning win over Fremantle last year — and the Dockers will also have to worry about stopping a virtual clone of the Demons superstar in their crucial clash on Saturday.
Pickett ripped apart the most recent contest between the sides, kicking five goals from 24 disposals in a best-afield display to lead the Demons to a shock 10-point win at the MCG.
And after shunning interest from the Dockers to sign a massive nine-year contract extension last June, he will return to his home State at the helm of a new-look side who kick-started their era under new coach Steven King by beating St Kilda in round one.
