Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin has labelled Kysaiah Pickett a special player after the Demons speedster unleashed a six-goal masterclass in a 14-point AFL victory over Port Adelaide in Alice Springs.
The Demons were held goalless in a dour opening quarter but Pickett produced two goal-of-the-year contenders among a career-best haul to help secure the 12.11 (83) to 10.9 (69) win.
