Byron Pickett

[AdelUniCrowFan]

if the tribunal can get clear footage of the incident picketts gone for a third time for a illegal bump which should bring a hefty penalty
he jumped big time in to biglands and that is illegal so it will be high contact medium impact intentional and in play so thats 7 points i belive which correct me if im wrong thats a straight to the tribunal case?

You need 10 points to go straight to the tribunal, or you need to thump an umpire.

 

[noddy]

I thoguht it was a reasonably fair bump. Biglands went for the contact....if he went down like a sack of spuds with no head contact then thats his bad luck. You know when Jack backs Byron Pickett then theres nothing in it. Id say most other Crow players - Roo, Mcleod, Goodwin, Thompson etc. would have gotten straight back up.

Looked a fair bump to me on the TV & Biglands done more damage to himself when his head hit the ground.

[dA Crow]

Nothing at all in the incident tonight I believe, however Pickett has developed a reputation within the AFL; who knows what they will do.

 

[cooperjai]

absolutely nothing illegal in that bump, damage was done when Rhett hit his head on the ground.
As for you supporters who were wishing Roo kicked the ball into his face....wouldn't that be a "dog act", or is it different if one of your players does it?
I'm not condoning "dog acts" but there is so much whinging and bleating by supporters when a dog act is performed yet those same supporters are wanting their guys to do it. I thought you would be above that.

Here Here, I've never seen this thug get a hard ball. He is more like an unemployable, soft or cheap shot sniping, outside player. Port Power should sign him up for another 5 years.

Chocko MUST take some of the blame surely, He talked up the fact that sniper has not player against the crows during the minor round, and that they will be looking for him. Sends him out to run through unsuspecting players.

See you half way through 2006 sniper.

 

[apollo_creed]

oh my.

One by one, I'll address each post of crap tommorow. And believe me I will.

Rename this board, "Adelaide Clueless" because re; Byron some of you are exactly that.

As Arnold would say,

"I'll be back"

 

[apollo_creed]

And Biglands.

Box headed moron.

And one for you people to think about,

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

2 questions Stevie Wonder.

How old are you?

How long have you been watching football?

Now listen up, and listen good. You listen, you'll learn.

You obviously have seen scarcely little of Byron and have seen him play a couple of times this season, formed your own little pathetic opinion and followed the pathetic bunch on here.

If you ever saw a Mr. Byron Pickett play for the Kangaroos ridiculous comments like the above quoted wouldn't even be thought of let alone spoken.

When Pickett won the NORWICH RISING STAR in 98 he won more hard ball than you can imagine my friend.

When he won ALL AUSTRALIAN SELECTION. Ditto ^

Infact Pickett's career at the Kangaroos, he never shirked at winning the hard ball.

At Port he seems to be asked to play a significant role as a receiver (his immaculate foot skills see to that) and isn't asked to go in the contest as much.

So I suggest you expand your football knowledge outside of 2005, and watch, learn and listen. And maybe just maybe stupid comments will become less frequent out of your mouth.

He is more like an unemployable

Good point. NWS,AA,UTILITY,NS,Px2 doesn't mean anything. I'm sure no club would want him should he become available this offseason.

soft

Here we go again.

Soft = Andrew McLeod

or cheap shot sniping,

Yes, obviously why he was only reported once before this season. And this season only should've been punished for the Begley incident.

outside player.

I'll say again, expand your football horizons son. It's plain wrong. I know it, you don't. But if you knew anything, which you obviously don't. You'd know you were wrong, which in your mind your not because you DON'T KNOW.

Sends him out to run through unsuspecting players.

Yes, that was MW's instruction. Run through boxhead Biglands. Your a smart cookie.

See you half way through 2006 sniper.

Where are you going?

Your hilarious.

While were writing stupid, untrue stuff on internet forums let me join in.

JON O'CROW = Paedophile

 

[apollo_creed]

absolutely nothing illegal in that bump, damage was done when Rhett hit his head on the ground.

Don't let facts get in the way of vicious slander mate.

It doesn't seem to be the way on the "We're in glass houses but we're still throwing stones board"

As for you supporters who were wishing Roo kicked the ball into his face....wouldn't that be a "dog act", or is it different if one of your players does it?

No how dare you.

Its a heroic act of leadership when "Roo" jumps twenty feet of the ground and sticks his elbow into someones throat. Leadership personified.

I'm not condoning "dog acts" but there is so much whinging and bleating by supporters when a dog act is performed yet those same supporters are wanting their guys to do it. I thought you would be above that.

The word your looking for is hypocrites.

And evidently it applies on so many levels in this thread.

 

[apollo_creed]

Nothing at all in the incident tonight I believe, however Pickett has developed a reputation within the AFL; who knows what they will do.

A reputation?

You mean a Peter 'Scumbag' Schwab led vendetta.

He was reported ONCE before this season, thats right ONCE. In a 7 year career.

Granted he should've gone for the Begley incident (5 was ridiculous) but the second offence he copped games for against Carlton warranted a free kick. Thats all.

 

[apollo_creed]

Pickett = DOG simple as that, enjoy the mothballs you gutless coward

As I said to Stevie Wonder, you need to watch more football.

He's not a gutless coward, and never was.

Ask any North fan. He's a tough, hard at the body player who can impose his physical presence on a game. So what he's ironed a few blokes out, he does it fairly and only was or twice in his career has he not done it fairly.

He's also one of the most talented footballers to wear the blue and white of North Melbourne in my time of supporting and watching them.

Keep up the limited selective memory thing though. It seems to be the norm on here.

 

[apollo_creed]

I assume you refer too Picketts bump as the first "gutless act of thuggery" What is the second one too which you refer?

Oh please JB don't make him think too much.

He might actually say something sensible.

 

[apollo_creed]

i happened to be sitting in the power section of the crowd right inn front of the incedent.

Heres hoping your vision > your spelling.

He deviated and took Rhett right out.

So?

The ball was in the area, he bumped him. Rhett landed awkwardly. Big deal.

Nearly got my head knocked off by the power ferals in front of me, but i dont care.

Why should you. By doing so you'd already exposed your lack of football knowledge. What did you have to lose?

He coped the biggest spray i have ever delivered

Really. How did he cope?

What really boiled my blood was when the ferals behind me started justifying assholes hit on him.

Shame on them for justyfying a perfectly legitimate bump.

And it seems the deranged, idiotic view of things mantle was already firmly on your shoulders.

Earth to you. It was fair. The fact that you reacted as you did makes you an idiot. Call them ferals if you like but I'd call someone going off his nutter at a player for a hard, fair bump comes under the 'feral idiot' category.

 

[apollo_creed]

I've met him before in Ceduna and can honestly say he is an absolute dog and has that reputation within the Ceduna community...in which he is a frequent visitor...and has that reputation both with the indigenous and non-indigenous community.

Your in the minority then dude, because I've met him and know others who have and the opinion is opposite to the crap you've produced above.
He's a top bloke and very respected within the Aboriginal community.

There may have been nothing in the Biglands incident...I only saw it from the TV perspective, however he DID deviate from the line in which he was running to clean up Biglands.

Its called a shepherd. You should read up on the game sometime champ. Legal, fair, comprehendo?

I'm not sure what Biglands game was...maybe to "block" him from the contest, but Pickett (being Pickett) decided to take it one step further and used his momentum to clean up Biglands.

Yes, Byron should've just let Rhett run into him. Biglands is twice the size and came off second best. It says more about him than it does about anything.

 

[apollo_creed]

How can you say that? His game against Freo was fantastic two weeks ago. He definitely has a role at Pt Adelaide. I do believe that Choco is too lenient with him however. Needs to pull his head in a bit.

He needs a permanent position as well.

Where Choco has him playing at the minute is hard to figure.

And it seems he's barely on the ground ten minutes before he's relegated to the bench.

He's an IMPACT player. Leave him on.

Is a very dangerous small forward or you could go back to first 5 years, sensational, consistently brilliant back pocket Byron.

Whichever way, wherever he is next season I hope Byron goes well.

 

[Crow54]

Yawn.

Keep going, Apollo Creed. I'm sure we're hanging onto every word you're writing here.

Quote from www.afl.com: "But after the break the only noise in the crowd came from delirious Crows' fans as Welsh finished with four goals and Simon Goodwin and Ian Perrie three apiece as Adelaide scored its biggest-ever win over Port as well as keeping Port to its lowest-ever score against the Crows". End quote.

That's all I care about.

 

[apollo_creed]

Gutless, sniping, dog.

discuss

No, No, No.

0/3 ain't bad. Well actually it is.

Discuss.

 

[apollo_creed]

5 possessions.

He should learn to play the ball, not the man. It generally wins you games

You should learn to watch football, not one game. It generally helps your opinions

 

[apollo_creed]

Hilarious. Do you have the Mark Ricciouto one on hand?

Or the Rhett Biglands one?

I didn't think so.

In 3rd quarter the ball kicked to Roo who was running onto it to take a mark. Pickett lines him up from some 10 meters, runs in and once he realises its Roo, he pulls out of the contest and lets Roo take uncontested mark.

I guess he just likes picking off people that are not expecting it.

Yes, because Byron is so scared of Mark Ricciouto. I've seen him get physical with the likes of Michael Voss before.

And this Ricciouto incident your talking about, if your referring to the one I think you are then your truly a clueless moron.

And lets not overlook the fact that Rhett Biglands is BIGGER than Mark Ricciouto. The Ricciouto incident your talking about is that dissimilar to the Biglands one it's not even worth arguing over. Really pathetic mate.

 

[apollo_creed]

which he stole from peter burgoyne.

No, I believe they read his name out.

Deservedly so.

While on the subject of Norm Smith medals, how Andrew McLeod won it in 98' is the biggest farce in history. Hart & Jarman were that much better on the day its not worth arguing over.

 

[apollo_creed]

Fences can be very comfortable places at times . I can't comment because I didn't see it clearly enough but unfortunately for Byron his reputation will not hold him in good stead.

What reputation?

The one which despite being one of the hardest, toughest players in the competition has only seen him suspended once before the start of this year?
