Brownlow Medallist Gerard Healy believes Melbourne excitement machine Kysaiah Pickett is âcertainâ of an All-Australian gong if he can avoid injury.
Pickett, 19, is fast becoming a cult hero at the Demons and has drawn comparisons to Hawthorn champion Cyril Rioli due to his electrifying work at ground level and ferocious tackling pressure.
Melbourneâs decision to swap draft picks with North Melbourne to secure Pickett with pick No.12 in the 2019 National Draft has proved a masterstroke so far.
Healy says a small forward spot in this yearâs All-Australian side beckons for the second-year Demon if he can stay fit and continue his sparkling form.
