Marlion Pickett [merged]

Bugger I hope all avenues were looked at to get him to 100, eg: a 6 month contract as a sub to then retire before mid season draft. Happy for others to disagree but would have loved to have had the option to be tied to a potential father son in future.

[Diocletian]

One of his sons just kicked 14 goals in a match.....great....

Btw how many games was he robbed of due to tiggy touchwood suspensions and Meehan Magic?

[camboon]

He is one that I would have kept to protect the army of kids coming our way. I’m disappointed in the club at the moment, seem to be leaderless at all levels , I hope our recruiters are on , but playing the potentials draftees in the twos was well thought out and gives me some hope ,

[Diocletian]

likely pushed out by a few people at the top.

..or not confident in the result of the upcoming trial?

FWIW in his presser today Yze made it clear Marlion was retiring from footy and then alluded to it had a lot to do with family. It appears Marlion's father passed away last week, and family is now the priority

So I would hope that would dispel any notion he was forced out

[Simonator]

Great story, can’t help but wonder what kind of career he could’ve had if he had his poo together when he was younger

He is off to play for Tiwi Bombers for their season starting in October then back to live in Melbourne

Almost like stack

Wish him all the best in retirement.  Courageous tough and a great tackler.

[Tiger Khosh]

Didn’t expect him to get so emotional in his retirement speech.

His debut in the 19 granny will remain the stuff of legend.

Good luck to him - hopefully it all works out for him outside of footy.

I might have missed it in passing
But he either didn’t mention Dimma at all, or it was very quick

Yet he found the time to thank the orange peelers and boot studders multiple times

Found that interesting

I thought he spoke really well .. good on you Marlion , thanks for some amazing memories

As he said himself , “shame he couldn’t get to 100”

Has there been a better debut? Just for the theatre of it. The spin, the mark, the goal. Was electrifying….

Only been 10m but you can see why I want Pickett to play 1 more year.

Not the greatest but definitely has some class and balls.

Problem is he hasn’t played any close to that in the last 3 seasons. Playing like he knows it’s his last game.

I reckon the BS charges got to him myself
