Thought it was his best game of the year

Though his 3 back to back panic handball in the final are when the Bumblings were pressing were a concern. Against a side like the Eagles they wpuld hand pounced and punished us

Stats show he was ok. Will retain his place but I want to see more intensity.

Reckon people mistake his laconic manner for a lack of intensity.... :shh

Been critical of his place in the team especially with some of the names set to return but he has been steadily improving game by game and I thought he was one of the best tonight.

Marlion had our second-most possies. It is his highest return since his debut in last year's GF.

19 disposals (10k, 9h, 9c, 10u, 73.7% eff.)
3 marks
3 tackles
2 clearances
351 metres gained
4 insides 50s
4 intercepts
4 score involvements

Agree, he just missed out on votes this week.

His best game for us. I reckon better than the GF

Getting better every week. He owns that role on the wing. Not sure how Caddy gets a game now unless forward.

Better game as a dedicated wingman. He needs to improve his inside 50 service. Although it was obvious that the forwards especially our two big forwards for some reason refused to lead for most of the game instead just insisting on the useless ineffective high ball over the top. Doesn’t work.

If the forwards would just lead and use momentum maybe the suppliers might have something to aim for because it’s much easier to stop a already stationary object than try to stop a player that has serious momentum and a strong leap (even an American showed us this)

Our last quarter only proved that when a forward Is actually prepared to lead then he will be given the opportunity (mostly) and honoured for the hard work.

I still get nervous when he has the ball and takes time to dispose of it.

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.
