Along with Nank, the only player who made the opposition rush their disposal when he was nearby.
We look feeble without him in the side.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

He also regularly misses targets and gives away frees.

how did that serve us this year in the overall scheme of things?

picketts last 5 games

3 , 2 , 3, 1, 0

2, 2 , 4, 1, 2  were jake arts last 5 games

hardly great numbers for a tackling machine.

30 years old come round 1. If he wants go let him go, if not maybe rookie.

Though if given a choice between he and Parker.  I have changed my mind, Parker goes. Pickett served us well in 2 flags.

When he decides to tackle- chooses to bump too often.

He played because KMac didn't but based on last night keeps his spot IMHO

Credit where's it due. Marlion has had a very good start to the season on a wing. Working hard both ways as that spoil late in the game demonstrated.
