Welcome to the Tigers Marlion Pickett!

Exactly as I saw it. His defensive work is exceptional, but when he gets the ball in his hands ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
His disposal is seriously woeful and takes forever to dispose of the ball.
Improved as the game went along but from a very low base.

There was a play on the wing where it flowed through a few hands. The last handball went to him and I literally groaned, just before he kicked it straight to the opposition. It's hard to carry a guy so fumbly and so poor with the footy in his hands, regardless of his defensive work rate and toughness. I think he'll stay in the team, he's lucky there are no other options.
Motlop craps himself when his rice bubbles go snap, crackle and pop.
For me it’s a bit like Aarts and George in the forward line , you can only play one , same for me with Pickett and Kmac and in both cases one is a lot better then the other. I have no doubt we played Caddy in front of Pickett early because we wanted to ad attack to our wings, fact is Caddy’s not a wingman and it doesn’t look like we have a kid that is either.
Marlion has a few holes in his game, 1/ Disposal, 2/ awareness, sorry, lost count at two.
I'd really like to see Pickett used right in at the contest. From what I saw of him at WAFL level, that is where he thrives.
I think tonight he could have been thrown into the middle for extended periods of time.
We got smacked in contested ball tonight. We need to see if Pickett can help us out in the middle.

If he could kick he”d be a top 10 tiger. And a top 50 player for Robbo. His tackles are brutal. He hurt at least 4 port players simply with his aggression. The wing is his spot he gets access to hurt more opposition players there.
A very good thought Streak.
No doubt Marlion is prone to the odd error but he’s also capable of creating, breaking lines with sharp angle change & is hard as nails.
More midfield time could be a good move.

He joins Castagna, Rioli and McIntosh.
Teams are trying to dissect us with free flowing uncontested bruise free football. The AFL are helping them. For this they need time and space.
Pickett, Rioli, Geoge and KMac eat time and space for breakfast.
They are the kryptonite to our challengers.
Don't worry about what they do with the ball. Just close your eyes.
Appreciate what the space invaders do without the ball.

no doubt.
we are the most enigmatic footy side the world has known.
Id describe enigma George's direction change as sharp and angular
I think enigma Marlion's moves are more balletic.
he's kind of Kate Bush to George's Peter Garrett

Had a real impact in the centre clearances since moving into the rucking role.
I think he might like being in the guts where the much of the action relies on instinct.
