Pickett is very clean by foot. IMO.

Gunna disagree. Hope thats okay.

Seriously though Marlion was one of the better H/B going around in the WAFL when we drafted him. Yes he also played a little bit thru the mids.

I always wonder what we would have had if we played him as a hb. At Richmond it seems we create problems by not playing blokes in their best roles.

I don’t know what he says but they all crap themselves when he comes thundering in to spoil. Remember Hill when we smashed the Saints a couple of years ago?
Ha Brad Hill the most overrated player in the AFL  soft as butter and teams are supposed to live with that because he is so freakin skilled. He is a panic merchant a fumbler and his skills are the most overrated of any player in the comp.

I think he wins a lot of contested ball and is often kicking under pressure, in traffic or when being tackled etc which might skew his DE negatively, but when he's kicking freely I think he's a beautiful kick.

As for HBF, well you've described it as being easy to look good for less physical players like Short, Houli and Ellis etc. I reckon Pickett is a great contest player and we'll suited to wing or midfield agree on that last point there. Heck I thought he did ok in the ruck ffs.

Andy ive gone  on about Hill for years even under no pressure he stuffs up disposal big time. He does not know what a contested possesion is never lays a tackle as a winger or outdside player on the fringe he just does not end up with clearances. Hwe poos his pants when he hears players close by. Imo an absolute horrid player not worth two bob.

Responding to you about Marlion, not Hill.

i think it was last year where Cripps tried to don't argue Pickett only to get dumped hard into the turf. This man is deceptively strong

What no one is talking about

Marlion Pickett is one of Richmond’s more important players.

He is an enormously underrated wingman who does the team things so well and puts his body on the line.

Pickett’s final quarter of seven disposals, three inside 50s and two goal assists was immense. His non tangible efforts (one percenters) were just as impressive.

Just watched the replay and he was hugeeeee in the final quarter. Got himself to contest after contest and if he didn’t win it he atleast stopped the crows player in their tracks.

This fella has had a tremendous start to the season. Been absolutely brilliant on the wing again but personally I'd like to see him promoted a little to midfield duties. Just an awesome footballer. #MarlionPickett

Have to agree, puts himself on the line and continually does the hard things and 1 perc%ers.

Also probably the best or at least top 2-3 MSD picks ever taken.

Jye Newcombe goes OK IMO but other than these two has anyone ever really made a consistent career out of it?

"For every moment like this where he tries to act the tough guy, moments later, when you've got to put your head over the ball, he does that."

Matthew Lloyd spotlights Marlion Pickett, as Damien Hardwick tells #9FootyClassified he and his players need to 'take responsibility'.

Lloyd is the worst bloke talking about toughness.

I have no issue with Pickett and his discipline. Bolton on the other hand reacts too much for mine.
Go Tigers!

Who is going to replace Pickett when he retires. Has done extremely well playing on the wing.
