How can you say Pickett is better than Rioli?
One plays in the Seniors and is a proven player, the other plays in a lesser competition and yet to be tested at senior level.
Twice in history has a player debuted in a grand final and on both occasions lost.
Proven player, but so were Butler and Kmac. Rioli has been an absolute passenger, besides downhill skiing in our forward line against Brisbane in the QF, for over a month...and been a shodow of the player he was this year - cheers Mia.
I know it won't happen, but unless Dan increases his output, he's going to be overtaken very quickly. I reckon that Pickett will end being seen as a better player and if the football department thinks so then they've got to think very hard about it, as this is toughest oppo we've had all year with the form GWS are in.
