Don't forget, spinny, that Byron (of the Schammer variety, not Pickett) is still only 18 and played a lot of games last year whilst he was still 17. Give him time and he will become a gun.

That was true.
However if there was a combined "Adelaide" team made up, anyone that says that Picket would not make the starting 18 and be one of its better players is too biased for his/her own good.

He would make our best 18 EASILY. He would also make the "combined" Adelaide team comfortably.

I was not desputing his quality, I was saying that he has a glaring weakness in his game and that accountability.

We have no problem with his accountability where he plays.
His second half last year was absolutely brilliant. Not the sort of player that would win too many Brownlow votes though.

As a backman, yes he has been found out in the past.

And thats the point I was making. Don't get me wrong, I love Pickett as a player and I would love to have him at the Crows. I was just making a comment on a weakness in his game.

Pickett and Johncock are very similar. Accountability is not Johncock's greatest point either.

Johncock did ok on crawford before crawford went off.
