Marlion Pickett [merged]

[Tiger Khosh]

I'd be staggered if he is on $400-$500k a season

But

I'll just wait and see what happens tomorrow

Agree if true it is bloody stupid but right now I have my doubts

Lots of them

My understanding of his previous 2 year contract was that it was 400-450/year

He was rookie listed until this season. Thought the cap on rookie contracts was super low like sub 200k but I could be way way wrong. Still would put him in the top tax bracket regardless.

Richmond star Marlion Pickett is in custody after being charged with alleged burglary charges and will appear in Perth Magistrates Court on Monday to apply for bail.

Richmond confirmed in a statement the charges related to alleged offences in December 2022 and January 2023.

His manager Anthony Van Der Wielen told The Age that Pickett “has a strong intent to defend himself against the charges”.

The club nor his manager will make no further comment.

The 31-year-old dual premiership midfielder played in the Tigers win over Fremantle in Perth on Saturday night.

He made his debut in the 2019 grand final becoming a premiership player and Richmond life member after just one game.

More to come

Also I don't think there's a limit on rookie contract payments.

Mistaken identity?

The white fella can’t tell the difference between black fellas   

Remember when the racist WA police locked up a black fella in solitary confinement during Christmas for one whole month for just going clubbing in Northbridge when he said he was at his grandmothers house? Yes many on here want to forget also 

These bozos in WA are renowned for their atrocities against innocent indigenous peoples it’s been happening for years.

Any chance and any excuse. 

It’s worse than the umpiring last night.

My dad's theory is that Fremantle set him up after the game lol

[mightytiges]

Dear god you must be kidding me.

He's made it at AFL level and from what I hear is on about 400-500/year.

Surely he wouldn't do something so stupid???

Add a wife and 4 kids. Feel for them  .

There isn't these days

I'd just be very surprised if we were paying him that much. Nice story by The West Australian though

[TigerLand]

Glad to read his agents says they will defend against the allegations.

Totally agree.

He is facing allegations of four counts of aggravated burglary, and three counts of stealing and criminal damages, targeting commercial properties across last December and January.

Foxfooty.com.au understands Pickett will face Perth Magistrates Court early tomorrow afternoon to apply for bail.

Pickett’s manager Anthony Van Der Wielen told News Corp the player “has a strong intent to defend himself against the charges”.

“Due to the ongoing legal nature of the proceedings, Marlion, or myself will not be able to provide any further details, comment or clarification about the matter at this stage.

“We understand and respect the public’s interest in this matter, but we also implore all to respect the presumption of innocence until proven otherwise, and to allow the legal proceedings to follow their due course without prejudice.”

Something just doesn't sit right about this

Why did the cops wait until after the game yesterday?  Seeing they team had been there since Friday

Just doesn't make sense

[FooffooValve]

Very sad news.

WCE fans wanting a Freo loss ?

[MintOnLamb]

Hopefully it is some bs like someone took something from family members, he went to get it back, that got peeed off and reported it to the police??

Fingers crossed
