Pickett was always likely to find the going tough once he had to deal with AFL standard opposition analysis and physical intensity.
Very few players in the history of the game have stepped in as elite players and he has a number of small weaknesses that were always going to be attacked at AFL level.
He will be a good player but it will take time and adjustment.
I tried to say that all preseason but was shouted down by people saying he was going to win the Brownlow.
You did indeed Richo.
