Toast Marlion Pickett GF performance

[Marcel Proust]

Can you remember Boyd playing any other game ?

prelim final

prelim final

I was at that game. He did actually show some promise. But his GF was incredible. He was cheated out of the Norm Smith.

I think the votes Marlion got were about right. Even getting any on debut shows how level headed a guy he is. Incredible pick-up for the Tigers.

Iv'e been pi**ing myself laughing at your posts, you think you know life but it reads like a 10 year old trying to be clever. Good luck with your life Mr Perfect

So you agree that Rioli should be shown leniency?

Once he’s done his time absolutely

Rioli should flip the narrative.

"if it's gatorade, why won't they drink it?"

 

[HurleyHepsHird]

That's not leniency then is it.

 

[HTT]

That's not leniency then is it.

Did Pickett get shown leniency when he went to jail?

I think you’re confusing leniency for forgiving.

Yes. His sentencing was pretty light.

 

[Ghost Patrol]

Yes. His sentencing was pretty light.

Sounds like it was just right, in that the system was successful with rehabilitation during that timeframe.

Not sure if that counts as leniency, many that do worse, get less.

So giving Willie say 12 months and him successfully returning to football would be a sign of the system working? I agree.

I'd be happy with a massive fine. Let him play, but all match payments donated to drug rehab/awareness programs for 12 months, 4 years, whatever.

The comparison with Rioli is pointless. Personally. I find the whole Rioli thing tragic, and while faking a urine test is a "bad thing", he only did it to hide smoking a bit of weed which is not performance enhancing and should not be illegal in the first place (isn't anyway in SA and the ACT). So I would be totally in favour of lenience towards Rioli. I'm willing to forgive him his bad choices (like not playing for Richmond as a Rioli should).

I mostly agree, except for the last portion.

Played one game against an insipid team protected by some experienced players.
Gws missed a trick, should have roughed him up and he'd have disappeared.

Lol. Bloke's been playing senior WAFL/VFL footy his whole life. Reckon the manufactured pretty boys from GWS are gonna bother him?

 

[craffles]

the more time that passes post the GF the more I realise how overrated his game was. There were at least 7 or 8 tigers more
Influential than him. Definitely a solid debut but it’s not hard to look ok in a team that wins by 80+

shouldnt have gotten any norm smith votes IMO

prestia, martin, riewoldt, vlastuin, Houli, Edwards, Caddy were all much better

The game was over halfway through the second quarter
Everyone looked after after that.

Come on he played well for a debut.

16 to 18 months sounds fair.

Michael Barlow turned out to be a fantastic AFL footballer. If not for a badly broken leg would have been recognised as such by everyone. Happy if Pickett can emulate Barlow's career sans the broken leg bit.

Barlow is a ripping bloke and player in his prime.

 

[Gold Rocks]

After his first few touches he looked composed, a natural. Unbelievable given the enormity of the day.

A very relaxed nature on field.

Marlion just 99 games to go thanks for fs.

Congratulations on him for rejecting a life of failure for sure, but does it need this high of a pedestal?

Im more inclined to celebrate those who never failed to begin with

Hope you don’t have kids , you’re in fir a shock !! Stop bring so jealous and insecure .
