Melbourne star Kysaiah Pickett has told coach Simon Goodwin he's homesick, but it doesn't necessarily mean he'll be linking up with Fremantle at the end of this year.

Pickett, who was born in South Australia but raised in Western Australia, is being heavily linked with a trade to Fremantle at the end of the season.
