Assistant and midfield line coach Sam Lonergan talking about Pickett:Marlion Pickett’s versatility“I thoroughly enjoyed last week the off-hand hit over Max Gawn at the centre bounce, which is extremely hard to do.
“He has given us a mix of what we can go to at particular parts of the game. Whether we use it all year, we will wait and see, but we certainly know that we have got that option.
“He has got that opportunity when it hits the ground to be an extra mid for us and can explode and use his natural grunt around the contest (as well), which is really sharp.
“He is, without doubt, one of our stronger runners in the group; the work the guys do, whether it is Marlion or Kamdyn McIntosh on the wing, is just exceptional, they cover mass amounts of ground, and certainly on the weekend, Marlion saved us a couple of times.
“He was unlucky with a couple where they ended up kicking the goal on the goal line, but his work rate is incredible, and he is a fantastic person. We know that he is always going to get back and support the defence and give it his all.”
