Well Barrett has nfi

We can now confirm Pickett isn't the issue

Poor game. He was completely off tonight.

No tackling or pressure and his disposal was all over the place. Disappointing.

Had a good patch from about the midpoint of the third quarter to the middle of the last.

Still seems to go the man rather than the ball and when receiving a kick or handball waits for the ball to arrive rather than attack it.

Some poor efforts. I dont rate him. Doesnt tackle just trys to bump. VFL player only.

[Francois Jackson]

with ramps here. Has anyone seen him lay a hard tackle. I mean he wasnt the only one but wtf is with this half arsed tackles/bumps?

dimma was wrong we were out tackled last night. F50 pressure non existent again

[Knighter]

Pickett is going ok. Kicks those 2 goals and he is in our top 5 players on the night

[camboon]

It’s hard to take , but for a bloke who’s only played  10 games + - to be our first or second mid is tough going
He played well in the GF as an extra 4th man in
The opposition are now onto how he plays and are manning up on him
The good news is he keeps at it and is learning and will get better, will enjoy it when Cotch and  Meatball are back

[Rampsation]

The problem here is Hardwick is going down the Sheedy track of "creating" great stories. Picketts an VFL standard player, he should have been dropped already for poor performance. Only getting a game coz they want a feel good story at RFC. Thats all.

Didnt kick them. He was poor again yesterday.

Wed night was by far Pickett's best in 2020, especially his first half impact when the game was won. There were signs the week before but this week his disposal was much better so there were less errors. The closest he's got to his GF heroics.

[Willy]

Yep, good game from him the other night.

Wow that's soft. He came to a stop and tried to avoid it imo

[Tiger Khosh]

On a rookie contract severely reduced because of COVID, a $1500 fine is no insignificant amount.
