Marlion Pickett [merged]

[Tiger Khosh]

I’m no Pickett fan and his disposal and decision making was shocking but it doesn’t matter how many possies petracca had, he had absolutely no impact on the game.

Exactly

With conviction name a better mid on the day

All I know is that I was at the game and barely noticed him. Best thing I saw him do all game was have his set shot fall short for Gawn to mark on the line.

Again, drop Pickett, I’ve been saying for him to be dropped for the better part of 2 years now, but if he was tasked with containing petracca, I’ll put my hand up and say he did a good job at it.

Those sons of his better be bloody guns...bloke's a liabilty atm....

Until his headspace is clear, he must not play again. Too much on his mind.

Did not mind his aggression but his disposal lets him down.

Totally agree. Love his attack on the ball and at times the man, but he can't be trusted when down back due to poor disposal and he continually turns it over heading into the forward line.
Don't know where his best position actually is as he does have a great tank to be on the wing but that feeds into the issues mentioned above.
What other developing wingers do we have?

I reckon Campbell has the tank to become a wingman/and or mid. Some of his tracking stats back that up. He also has the foot skills and vision which puts him ahead of KMac now.

Ok hear me out ….we need hard , tough players like Marlion in a similar way we needed Jake King and Daniel Jackson a dozen years ago .  I don’t think it’s a great strategy to throw all the kids to the wolves.

Pickett will naturally find himself out of the team over the next 12 months when more seasoned players return and our depth improves.

Pickett fined.



RICHMOND'S Marlion Pickett has escaped suspension but handed a massive fine for his strike on Melbourne's Clayton Oliver on Wednesday night.

Pickett has been charged with striking, his second offence, which has triggered a $6250 fine, which can be reduced to $3750 with an early plea.

It means he's free to play against Fremantle at the MCG next week.
