Wow that's lame. Just stop writing about AFL this time of year if you're gonna publish stuff like this.

Who's taking the piss out of Clayton? Dunno about you but I was gonna go to the Dees board and have a giggle perhaps subtle troll of their supporters. I'm pretty sure Clayton has more to worry about than the Saints BF board. But I don't see anyone getting into him here?

 

[gringo2011]

Watching Billings on the news. FMD, he still looks like a scared chihuahua. Looks ready to piss and cry at the same time. Why didn't we have a sports psych on staff?

“Good progress” in Richonese translates to “* all has changed”. Melbourne in the mud.

Why would you need hallucinogenic drugs when you have that shirt.

Dual AFL premiership player Marlion Pickett is expected to enter pleas to multiple charges, including aggravated burglary, next year after his latest court appearance was adjourned.
Mr Pickett’s arrest in June shocked the football community, with police alleging he was involved in a spate of commercial burglaries during the Christmas period last year.

They allegedly involved the theft of more than $300,000 and included ransacking safes at currency exchange businesses.

Mr Pickett is also accused of being part of a plan to transport the money across the country in a campervan.

The 31-year-old Richmond star is facing 12 charges, including criminal damage or destruction of property, stealing and receiving.

His manager previously indicated that Mr Pickett would fight the charges.

The matter was listed as a committal mention in Perth Magistrates Court on Wednesday but was adjourned by consent until January 19.

His co-accused Kurtley Thorne, 30, pleaded guilty to a string of charges in Perth Magistrates Court recently.

Mr Pickett has previously spoken about his past brushes with the law and time he spent in prison in WA, saying it was a wake-up call.


He was released from jail, aged 21, in 2013 and then began playing for the South Fremantle Football Club.

Mr Pickett made his AFL debut in Richmond’s 2019 premiership win – just months after being selected by the Tigers in the mid-season draft.

It made Pickett the first VFL/AFL player in 67 years to debut in a grand final and the first since 1926 to win a flag.

He won a second premiership with the Tigers in 2020.

Mr Pickett was forced to apply for financial hardship after having his salary slashed during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The father of four was being paid a second-year rookie list player’s salary, which is about $85,000.

But when the AFL shut down during the pandemic, which led to pay cuts for players, Mr Pickett was living on about $3000 per month.

Fans rallied to help by donating to a GoFundMe page to raise money for the young family.

what do people think of living on $3k per month.

Chose the thug life.

I heard him today on radio , he sounded a bit drunk.

I assume he must talk like that all the time. Hope he doesn't become a commentator after his footy finishes

We do, probably couldn't change him. Maybe now he's gone to Melbourne he will become all of
superman, spider man and batman at the same time

Oh you know, he brings motivation and you know, stuff, he'll be fine...

Whoever gave him the go ahead to do media has NFI, a decade in and he still sees a camera and immediately shits himself.

Imagine his special comments, the most vanilla "he's off the ground for an owwie" said as timidly as possible. Post playing is so waterboy so he can keep his cardio up and doesn't have to speak to anyone and just take direction.

I’m not sure he’s all that bright.

 

[gringo2011]

He seems okay one on one so I think he's just a really anxious dude. He comes across as a bit neurotic and highly strung. When we were looking to draft him you wish someone had picked up on his very shy nature.

 

[austinnn]

I’m not sure he’s all that bright.

I got that impression by hearing him talk several times. Probably good at studying, working hard, etc. But certainly not much seems to go on upstairs, or at the very least he's inarticulate.

No crime in any of that, he was a sweet kid, but not the right fit for our club. We needed good players who kept out of trouble back then that was the Trout's remit, but look where that got us.

True I think I’m being a bit harsh.

 

[Hayes4PM]

I get that it’s fun to make the Billings jokes now he’s gone after the high hopes we all had, but I wouldn’t be shocked to see him do a bit of a Mason Wood

at the Dees. He’s not going to be a star but he’s a good kick and a decent mark for his size. He’s kind of a b grade Fritsch I reckon, who we forced up the ground after a year of inaccurate goal kicking.

Yeah u bullies

He's a very good player when he's good. He's struggled with consistency. All jokes aside I hope he has a decent end to his career. Just as long as he doesn't win a flag at another club.
