Player Watch #50 Marlion Pickett

[Marcel Proust]

dad is fighting cancer, and he can make good coin at freo with his whole extended family around him

His tackles. Bumps. Smother. Pressure. Skill etc. Would be missed.

Been around for 5 min and has two flags.

Pickett > saints.

 

[Marcel Proust]

What about when he ducks his head and pulls out of contests..
What about when he runs around laconicly and shins the ball.
He is 29, not 19.
Sick of the hype of this bloke. So overrated it's not funny

Very rarely squibs it. Brave. Tough. Hurts people.

He is like the anti Ellis

Don’t you mean Pickett in 20 games of footy:

>Suns, Giants, Freo, Saints, University, Port Adelaide

and

= to Crows & Hounds?


And Collingwood in the last 63 seasons?

 

[THE_GUN]

Was fantastic . Well Done Marlion

 

[No_Spoke]

2 x premiership player, still a great story, well done Marlion

 

[Meteoric Rise]

I love the way he makes errors, sometimes dire ones, but then just keeps taking the game on regardless. Had a really nice game in the end.

 

[Infamy]

John Ralph said in the pre-match coverage that he's looking to resign with us.
Though he also said that Nank's price was going up every week when he already extended for 3 years so I'm not sure if he knows what he's talking about

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

His 2 best games have been in the grand finals .

 

[Pistol Night]

20 games, 2 flags. Incredible

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

20 games, 2 flags. Incredible

More flags than the saints in 20 games

for two more years as the dual premiership wingman finally returns home to care for his grieving family.

 

[Vassp]

He played well, so many crunch tackles. He was one of the front runners to set the tone and give us the win

 

[THE_GUN]

If i was Pickett i would just Retire
1st Game premiership
last game premiership

and done just for the sh!ts and gigs

When things were at their toughest in the 2nd, I thought he was standing up as much as anyone to prevent Geelong's lead blowing out.

He wasn't faultless in that quarter but the character he showed when it was most difficult made it a more impressive GF performance than last year.

 

[JR#8]

Great game, not sure what he was thinking about with that handball though!!

 

[Marcel Proust]

Great game, not sure what he was thinking about with that handball though!!

Geelong guy did the same thing immediately after so no big deal

 

[jc12]

watched the replay and he was better than i thought in that game, it was a scrappy game by him but his tackles, bumps, smothers, contested ball, was so important, the next phase of his improvement next year is to be a bit more clean (less of those weird handballs) and he will take his game to the next level and be one of those elite mature agers like kelly and menegola

 

[Michaels]

loved his game saturday night, was very solid when the heat was on early.


genuinely shocked (but glad) he is staying with us for 2 more years.

I thought for sure he was heading back to WA given what his family have been through this year.

Huge respect for him sticking to his word and staying at the club. could have easily gone home for similar / more money and set his family up and I wouldn't have blamed him.
