One of Barrett's "most memorable" GF moments. Spot the error?


29: One game, one premiership, one famous pirouette: Marlion Pickett's 2019 GF
It was actually an act of beauty, executed almost in slow motion and against one of the game's most skilful players. In his debut AFL match, which just happened to be the 2019 Grand Final, Marlion Pickett grabbed the ball in the centre of the MCG. Instinctively upon seeing the exquisitely talented Lachie Whitfield run to him, Pickett nonchalantly did a 360, and casually passed to teammate Jason Castagna, who goaled. Game over.

He was passed the ball?
Technically, Soldo did handball it to Pickett from the centrebounce so you're right Mintie about that too ;).

But nah not that. Something far more obvious Barrett has got wrong.

Not talking about Pickett but the error Barrett made

The best game from a small forward you’ll ever see minus the goals

dont understand the angst against a premiership player.

i think he is a fair player. Are there others better, sure who knows, but a premiership player nonetheless.

Marlion Pickett

Just doesn’t look like the game-breaking success story he was in the Grand Final last year. Has had his ups and downs across the season and got a bit of the footy, but it just wasn’t damaging.

Would’ve given him a 2 maximum. Poor performance and butchered the ball more than anyone.

We can’t have two blokes who turtle their heads and have short arms when standing under the ball in the same team.
