Fear and Jealousy.
They know he is harder at the ball than they are.....and if it came down to an old fashioned blue he would have them covered there as well so they get in first with yappy mouths and cheap shots to raise their own inadequate egos.
Marlion has 90% of them covered on skill as well so that hurts even more.
They don't like that he doesn't look pretty or daddy didnt get them on a list like that ribbon of squib Silvagni... and he didnt finish school.
Chris Judd's weathergirl missus would complain to Dan Andrews if he moved into her suburb.
I love him.
don't know about that , she might like a little on the side , especially a HARD man
maybe Marlion should take up tennis coaching or pool cleaning

Did he play enough games at Sth Freo to qualify for Freo F/S also? MRJ was also a Freo F/S chance based on Senior playing more than 150games
He played 98 games for S Fremantle not sure if that qualifies for future F/S
Must keep playing him till he reaches 100games
If he doesn't get injured, he's easily good enough to play until the end of 2024. No serious injuries and he would then be close or have hit the 100 games. He should get to 56 before finals. Hopefully 4 finals, gets him to 60 then 20 games in each of 2023 and 2024 and then hey presto, come on down little Picketts.
I'll stand corrected but I'm pretty sure that games played for the WAFL Freo teams do not qualify for F/S now that there is an actual Fremantle team in the AFL.
To clarify using a fictional example; Joe Bloggs plays 223 games for South Fremantle in the WAFL from 1999-2013. His son Jimmy does not qualify for Fremantle under F/S because Joe never played any games for Fremantle. The only way you can qualify for father/son at Freo now is if your dad played 100 games for them.
I'm pretty sure that Maurice Jnr only qualified for Fremantle as father/son, via Snr's South Fremantle games, as there was no actual Fremantle FC in the VFL at the time Snr was playing.
Agree with this. His body hasn't been bashed around by years of AFL seasons and pre seasons and he has that lean and hard Michael Tuck type physique that seems to allow greater longevity. If his form holds up he could easily play to 34/35 which gives him another 3 seasons at least after this one to get to 100 games. I also reckon he'd be very keen to make up for the late start and make the absolute most of his opportunities and play as many AFL games as possible.
He has been in great form this year. Keep it up Marlion
I reckon he’s the best overhead mark in in the game right now. He’s plucking them from everywhere.
He has put together a pretty handy portfolio of 50 games imo. There wouldn‘t be many better - 2 premierships, 10% of his games played have been finals, winning 4 of them.
It’s remarkable that he plays like he is one of the more experienced players in the team.
2 premierships in his 1st 20 games & none in his last 30.
FFS whats going on down there,
Are you even awake Balmey ??, do something man

He is 11 and Latrell is 10
Marlion is 30 but his body won’t be banged up like a normal 30 year old AFL player. You would think he would have another 3 in him at least.
I dont want to overstate it, this might sound weird.
But to me, he's got real leadership qualities. The silent type. He seems to almost want to play better when there's more indigenous players in the team - he seems to go out of his way to look for MJ or Daniel and to help make them better. Especially MJ. Both Marlion and Daniel seem to try everything possible to support MJ on the ground. Good hearts on them.
Someone posted earlier a fantastic comment about what a great overhead mark he is too. Tough, strong, natural footy instincts.
What an interesting person he is.

Thank christ he broke his finger before the draft. We might have still got him anyway, but most sides were looking for reasons not to draft him, thats all it took.
Marlion is a very loyal person. Richmond gave him his opportunity but more than that remember that it was Richmond fans who crowd funded for him when he had his salary cut during the 2020 season with the COVID lockdown.
He is a life member as well. I just can’t see his kids playing anywhere else, if they are good enough and he reaches 100 games of course.
Is his daughter older? Adding a f/d in Rioli in the coming couple of years, to add a Pickett to that would be good too.
