Welcome to the Tigers Marlion Pickett!

[spook]

Pickett has four kids and his eldest two boys, Marlion jnr, who is 13, and Lattrell, 11, play together in the under 13s. They play a bit like Dad, but want to play like Shai. They watch his highlights, so there is no shortage of clips. His boys go OK.

“They could be better than me,” Pickett said. “The older one has got the aggression and speed, the younger one’s got skill, yeah, good around goals. They watch a lot of Shai, Shai’s highlights. Always watching Shai,” he said.

Richmond are quietly keeping a keen eye on Marlion’s mounting games tally.

He’s at 66 (unbidden, a senior Richmond figure reflexively recited the stat). He’ll probably get to 100 games any way, but you sense the club will make absolutely sure there’s no way he doesn’t get to that father-son threshold milestone.

‘All of my mob will be over’: Why Shai Bolton’s feeling at home for Dreamtime — The Age

It’s Shai Bolton’s dream Dreamtime, in what will be his 100th game. It will be a packed house ... and there will also be a big crowd at the MCG.

Back to the Wing Please we need his aerial strength

Played a lot of his WAFL career at half back. Looks lost up forward.

Why is it so hard for the coaches not to see this??? He'd be better in defence.

 

[Redford]

2 entries…2 turnovers.

Lost faith in Marlion. I now concede he is going to lose a contest, slip, caught holding the ball or turn it over. Needs a spell in the twos

They think he can either mark or contest when the ball comes into the forward line.
He looks lost in that role

Having a terrible season. Needs a rest

Hardwick coached himself to death tonight.

 

[TimeToRoar]

PUT HIM BACK ON WING. What does it take to see we just destroyed his confidence.

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

Marlion (that blind turn in the 2019 Granny is still a thing of beauty in my mind) is a wingman. It seems the tricks to his bow aren't as a forward.

 

[Tigers2011]

Put him back to the wing for F’s sake!

 

[Pandaboy]

Has been poor all season.

Should be dropped on form alone. Can't get near it and isnt doing anything without the ball either. Just a nothing player at the moment.

 

[nafe brown]

He either plays on the wing or in the guts or even a sub not a FOWARD DIMMA !

 

[Rantnrave]

Graham ( terrible nothing game of plodding behind his opponant all nighg ) on a wing and not marlion was madness

 

[jb03]

Hard to believe how poor he has become even with the stupid move to the forward line. Going to be a long 34 games at this rate to qualify his kids.

 

[Smoking Aces]

@Redford you were right last week when you said he was no good up forward. I have come around after tonight. He has mo forward smarts. Can’t impact the contest, cannot read the flight of the ball and cannot hit the scoreboard.

Back to the wing.

Yep, time for Banks to debut.
