Welcome to the Tigers Marlion Pickett!
- Thread starter tigersnake
- Start date
Seems to be more blokes playing themselves out of the team going forward right now than playing themselves into it.
Surprised he only had 13 touches. Seemed to be in it more than that. Good things came most times he touched it.
Getting closer to really picking up the pace of AFL footy. I think he's getting there. The Grand Final must have given him a false impression as we were running rings around GWS.

He was BOG in the first quarter. everything he did made something happen.
then he cooly danced onto his left and kicked probably the most timely goal of the match in the 3rd.
and he was coasting, because Marlion has a similar gearbox to dusty.
I respect the doubt, but I couldn't agree any less.
actually, no, I dont respect the doubt.
to arrive at it, you're applying a simplistic template to a very unique footballer.

To me he ran hard and looked like he was running hard. Dusty looked like he was running hard. It just wasn't an easy night.
yeah, if I had to find a criticism of Marlion,
I'd be too much looking where he is going
I'm with you, eZy.
Hey just on Marlion's goal, it showed how out of form/low in confidence George is. He was clear and had plenty of time to kick the goal, but chose to give a very average handpass to Pickett.
of course, I'd love him to get 35 every week.
But heaps of people wasted a good 6-7 years saying this about Shane Edwards.
let it go.
I just want it closer to 20 rather 10-13. Not asking for much
fair enough.
Anthony miles used to get more than 20 every time he stepped out.
I dont subscribe to possession counts.
its why I alway do my PRE votes before I look at numbers.
they lie.
I agree with you that possession counts are overrated (we have won two flags off the back of generally losing the possession count). The media and other clubs have been slow to prescribe to this theory (hello Matt Crouch).
I'd just prefer he got more of it as I think good things generally stem from him getting it. Him and Kmac are in a similar boat for mine - but I'd prefer Pickett gets more of it than Kmac given I think he hurts the opposition more through his disposals.
Both play crucial roles that often get overlooked in terms of their positioning and disrupting the opposition.
yes we are agreeing.
he had 22 from 60% in the GF, so he's capable.
But I reckon he reserves his best for when it really counts
Has been really good on the wing, i actually prefer marlion than Caddy.
Picket and Macca combo
Pickett had 13 possies, 1 goal, 13 pressure acts, 5 tackles and 272 meters gained. He has done his job and then some.
Macintosh had 15 possies, 1 goal, 17 pressure acts, 2 tackles and 483 meters gained.
Not sure how many wingers are getting 20+ even a noted winger like Brad Hill in his last 5 games has had 17, 7, 17, 15 and 16

Between him and Mac they are getting disposals around the mid teens which is a good game for a Wing.
Looking at his game stats everything screams Wing.
Good K to HB ratio, 4 i50's, 9 uncontested and 4 contested, 1 goal, 1 point.
He also had 3 clangers along with Vlus, Stack, Mac, Castagna, Lambert and Lynch. Dusty had 4 and Trent 8.
If you want midfield numbers play him at stoppages otherwise you're just getting sheepled into Possession poppycock.
