Marlion Pickett [merged]

Any other club would suspend flog supporters like these.  But if Port do that its just another tarp they'll need to put up next game

Love Marlion. Glad he's on our side. Tough.

Vision from one of the Port ferals on the fence who filmed Pickett's goal:

I loved that nothing in it to be honest good banter.

1 year extension. Well deserved - been great this year

I think he has to be on the senior list now too but not 100% across the rules?

My understanding is that the max time someone could be rookied is 3 years (extended to 4 because of covid) which marlion will have completed at the end of this year. They would have had to de-list and re-rookie him to stay on the rookie list.

Been super this year our first 10 games he was the standout and plays multiple positions.

Richmond General Manager- Football Talent, Blair Hartley, said Pickett had thoroughly deserved his contract extension.

“We are delighted that Marlion will enter his fifth season at the Club, which is a great reward for the hard work he has put in over a number of years,” he said.

“Marlion’s skill set helps us to play how we want to play, and his form this season has reflected his importance.

“We look forward to seeing what Marlion can continue to achieve individually and as a part of our team going forward.”

Wouldn’t be surprised if he got a suspension for concussing stringer.

He won't. Complete accident. Was attempting to contest the ball/get to Merett

A lot of accidental clashes still result in suspensions these days.

Hmmm not so much if you are going for the ball, not the man or laying a tackle etc. I reckon it won't even get mentioned.

But then they hate Marlion. Seems to get special treatment from the MRO

Yeah it would be the first of its specific kind that I know of. Still a bit of a worry.

50. Marlion Pickett

Terrific run-down tackle personified his first quarter, which included seven disposals and two marks. Worked hard across the flanks and wings as a link man, finishing with 23 disposals, nine contested possessions, six marks and six intercepts.
