fucikin criminal behaviour from the club. Crazy when you think about it.

Yeah yeah yeah marlon made the call himself. Please.

It was his call

Unless of course the player who stood in front of the Club XIII members at half time and spoke to us is lying

Believe what you want to believe Frankie, I have no doubt it was his call.

Heard the same and from a different, very senior source.  A focus on family was a key item that I was told.

I've got a sneaky feeling that we will rue the decision not to gift this guy some games to get him to 100 for father/son/daughter picks.  :help

4 shots at it all with the Pickett bloodline.....think his missus is related to a/some player(s) as well though can't remember who....so it's a pretty good odds... :shh

📣📣PLAYER ANNOUNCEMENT 📣 📣

We are unbelievably excited to announce that Marlion Pickett has chosen to commit to our great club full time for season 2025.
Marlion is a 2 time AFL premiership player for Richmond and owns the special achievement of making his debut in an AFL grand final where he became the first player in almost 100 years to win a premiership in just his first game. It happened a week after he won the Norm Goss medal for best on ground in the Tigers VFL premiership.

He played in his second AFL premiership in his 20th AFL game and went on to play 91 impressive games before retiring, playing his last AFL game on the MCG just months ago. Having a player of Marlion's calibre join us so close to his AFL career ending is enormous for our club and we look forward to our supporters getting to know him and his amazing story.
 
On field his mixture of endurance, speed and agility as well as his marking power and booming kick will make him a must watch.

A fierce competitor we are rapt to have him on our side.

Marlion is a close friend of our senior coach making his decision to join us from a huge field of suitors an easier one for him.
We welcome Marlion, Jess and their children to the Panthers.

Great times ahead !
