Marlion Pickett [merged]

That's an absolute disgrace!

They were staging all night, foxing passes to get 50m penalties off the mark and niggling to draw responses.  ffs.

[Andyy]

Lol

Is this a joke?

It's so BS I'd be looking for another motive and just call them a pack of racists or something.

Butler should be nailed for staging ffs.

Cody Weightman just sat bolt upright ...

If the AFL had any integrity they would review that footage and book Butler a week off for staging.

[Yeahright]

Remind me who the Match Review Officer is?

From Barrett's Sliding Doors column:


IF ...
Marlion Pickett's first AFL game was a Grand Final win and his 20th game another Grand Final win ...

THEN ...
his 42nd match, against the Western Bulldogs last weekend, was one of his best. Still improving, at 30.

For those who don’t understand why Macca’s and Picket’s roles are important could read the article on the AFL web site about Ed Langdon.

Pickett pick-off might be looked at

Two-time premiership player Marlion Pickett may be looked at for a heavy bump on Hawthorn small forward Dylan Moore in the second quarter. Pickett picked Moore off with a well-executed hip and shoulder on the boundary line, just in front of Richmond's interchange bench. The young Hawk got up and played on for the next minute, before Hawthorn's doctor took him downstairs for a concussion check. Moore played out the game, which could work in Pickett's advantage if the hit is assessed.

Marlion is having a very good season. He was rusty last week in his first game back but today he was one of our best IMO. Playing on a wing really suits him as he can both contest at ground level and in the air as well as play as an outside mid running between the arcs.

18 disposals (10k, 8h, 9c, 11u, 83.3% eff.)
4 marks
4 tackles
3 clearances 
3 inside 50s

4 score involvements
88% time on ground

Makes them look over their shoulder too
