Welcome to the Tigers Marlion Pickett!

- Start date
I hope it is stability and happy days from here on.
This bloke's life would make a good film. A genuinely tough, unique, and humble player, he matched our game style to a tee as McIntosh's workhorse partner on the other wing.
This retirement has a few extra layers of sadness to it. I wish you well for your future Marlion, thank you for the joy you provided we Tiger fans.

The MRO and the AFL will sure miss his regular financial contributions to them . They sure had it in for him from day one
They'll probably forget to cancel the monthly auto-payment subscription deductions
He was a hard uncompromising player on the pitch who didn't know how to give up and his whole VFL / AFL career with us was a joy to watch. We will miss his commitment to the game , the club and the game. The AFL will miss him too but on financial considerations.
Another Richmond man

Think the plicks coined the phrase 'Potential to cause injury' for Marlion.
At those rates it'll take the AFL 10 years to equal 1 of Foosh's fines. Gunna b some skinny end of season *smile* ups at HQ.Already problem solved.
McKenzie, Lynch fined by MRO
Ellie McKenzie and Beth Lynch have been fined by the Match Review Officer following last Friday night's practice match against Brisbane at Brighton Homes Arena.www.richmondfc.com.au
Maybe if Dimma coaches from the sidelines Foosh could kinda give everyone a laugh.
Such a shame we couldn't get him to the 100.
All Premiership players should have their kids tied to the club, its an anomaly that should be fixed.
Put fear into opposition players at his best did Marlion.
Great football story, great life story a hard journey.
Richmond Man always said he'd never play for anyone else after the RFC gave him his chance as did Broad.
They've both kept their word.
This season has gotten worse as its gone along.
The recruitment team better get this post season right.
Thank You Marlion will never forget your debut.
There was seemingly no end to the magic that was being conjured at Punt Road in 2019, .....................now .......well ......................................
Congratulations on your career,Marlion, and all the best on your retirement.

Sad to see him go, thought he had more good games in him. Played too many games out of position but he just did what was asked.
What can you say about his debut, must have thought life would be easy at Richmond, play a game, get a premiership. Deserved it too, great game and that blind turn was magic.
So happy he played for Richmond.
Hope the charges get dropped, leave him alone!

Never seen a footballer like Marlion in my eyes .
Tough, skilled , disciplined, incredible gut runner , brilliant side step , outstanding aggressive tackler/ bump artist, however …
Soft , woeful skills , undisciplined, deer in headlight moments .
Just a personal thing but MP in some says was one of my favourites , I also found him as frustrating player as I’ve seen .
His blind turn and his goal in the 2019 GF are 2 of my favourite moments as a Tiger
Wrapt the Tiges gave him a go and what a story it’s been , is he deserving of a farewell game considering how much footy his missed when we have cubs who could use the experience?? Well the club believe so and that’s all that matters .
Thanks MP and best of luck in the future

Yep loved it.
If Baker, Bolton or Rioli were still torn about leaving the retirement speeches this week might have just swayed them back to staying put.
As someone said it is a pity we are playing the Suns!
But i also reckon Pickett has too much class to just go the biff cos its his last game. He will play the way he always has. and i reckon he will go out there to enjoy the moment, not to try to bash opponents.
