Still not sure with this kid. Heaps of potential but a long term injury. Tbh before commenting I'm gunna sit on the fence with Pickett.

Theres a bit of winmar in him.. related to Nicky also

Any blood relation to Dale or Derek or just in a rhyme...

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

We need talent desperately but can't afford to trade much. Ergo, risks in injured players are understandable

 

[Mr_Plow]

He'll be right.

 

[Weiterbot23]

No brainier.

We gave up very little for him and he has huge upside, why wouldn't you?

This.
All that needs to be said.

I'm sure Pickett will extract a digit over the pre season, perhaps during the season he will be nice enough to help you with your extraction...

JD just be careful sitting on a Pickett fence....it may not bite you on the bum, but it might get wedged up your ars..

 

[Soapy V]

anyone know what his injury status is? will he get a full pre season in etc? can't doubt the talent, just like to know realistic expectations on timing

 

[COBALT BLUE]

SOS has used GWS as our recruiting ground for high end talent that either was on the fringe or injured.
Taking injured guys is a real risk especially in Picketts case. Is the risk worth the reward? If the club has done its due diligence and the reports indicate a full recovery, then this kid should be a gun and would have justified the faith the club had showed in him, and we must remember he nominated us.
The unknown could be another Daisy where there were conflicting diagnosis from various medicos and we still took a risk where the reward didn't justify the risk. This time around we have not heard many roumors as the club has become more professional and kept things very quiet.
Hopefully Pickett makes a full recovery and developes well, then the sky's the limit as the upside with this kid is enormous.
Time will tell but at this early stage it is going to be a numbers game as not every draft or trade will pay off, but in Picketts case let's hope it does.
GOOD LUCK JARROD AND GO BLUES.....

He was recontracted by Gws just before his injury for a reason,he was making inroads in NEAFL and putting serious pressure on GWS 22 at time of injury in early 2016...he was under wraps.why they let him go? ok good question,he may have requested a trade,i think he did.
his injury is slow to mend but that is all ...
Bolton will enjoy assetts such as Jarrod in the future...and who knows we may be able to develope a genuine forward pattern/structure..and start winning games.

Lock him in for round 1 and 3 votes.

If Hawks are happy punting on JOM - a player with no knees left - I think we can roll the dice with JP.

There you have it. If your team mate thins you are a star, there is no denying that you are a superstar

 

[thylacine60]

Palmer saying all the right things.

#justguessing

thats the issue. everyone seems to be guessing. really like to know. be exciting to see him fit and ready to go in round one

 

[thylacine60]

He's clearly silk when he's up and about. Who knows what we have on our hands.

when you think we've added palmer marchbank pickett plus picks 5 & 25 its definitely some talent coming through the door. if a smedts or a jaksch and a couple of later picks stand up we could do well next year

 

[DirkDiggler]

Lets hope in the time he has spent away from the game injured in 2016 he hasn't lost his burst of speed and that Bolton elects to play him as a small forward

This quote's cute..

“I still think there’s plenty more to give, hopefully that’s what the Carlton Football Club saw as well in getting me here".

He's under the impression that we weren't forced to take him?

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

We traded for him separately after the other trade was done. Why wouldn't we have just thrown the 3 in to the same trade if he was baggage?

I think we have taken him for experience should we lose Murphy or Gibbs for half a season again.

We may not have been forced to take him.
The CFC may have gone after him to add some experience and more so a goal kicking mid which we lack.
