Welcome to the Tigers Marlion Pickett!

I find it fascinating that supporters would donate but the club or his wealthier teammates haven't (Based on article being written), perhaps its as others suggested they cant based on rules?.
Salary cuts should have been scaled to prevent those on minimum chips being screwed. Nice work, Paul Marsh.
I've written to the club, but since they auto respond with - don't expect a response due to the volume of enquiries we get - it doesn't fill me with confidence!
Set it up for his kids and wife. Can only assume AFL could do nothing about it.
It would be fantastic if a go fund me page was setup anyway just to spite the clowns at head office.
Given the AFL has bent over backwards to win the politically correct olympics in resent times, it would be fantastic to have them quivering in their boots over a potentially international story outlining how they saw fit to prevent much needed funds going to a worthy indigenous player who’s been hardest hit by these unprecedented events.
I’d also like to see which mouthpieces from opposition clubs would have the balls to say he shouldn’t get the funds also.
Or supporters just take turns pretending to be Uber Eats delivery people turning up to his place with brown bags full of ‘food’.
Geez, we're not the club, well we as members are owners of the club, but if we did a go fund me page and donated our money how can the AFL have anything to do with this?
I understand where Big Richo is coming from though. Set up a Go Fund Me page outside the club and get some big donations to attract a player and avoid the salary cap.
Apart from the fact that the pay cut should have had a lower limit, and those on a rookie salary should not have had their pay cut, surely they could set up a fund for everyone to donate to and it gets shared equally amongst all the rookie players who are now on very low incomes. You could even have some sort of sliding scale for dependents.

This is news we shouldn't be hearing.
We aren't Richmond of 1989.
Gale shouldn't allowed this get out.
If Pickett needs help, the club needs to help him.
The club would have enough funds to support him through this year and when Rance gets delisted, there should be enough to give him what he deserves.

Curious... How does a fundraiser that has nothing to do with club administrators impact the salary cap? As the article says;
“earnings have to be independent of the club to avoid being counted in the club's salary cap.
A gofundme campaign would be a good way for supporters to assist.

Something awfully wrong here . How it got to this stage is extremely poor irrelevant what the AFL have done with slashing payments . . Club would know exactly the situation. In place there are Player Welfare structures set to ensure this doesn’t happen . Not the only player in difficult times at the club either . How can you possibly blame his manager is beyond belief .
.Surely someone could of loaned him the money until match payments kicked in .
something not right here
Ok, I have set up a GoFundMe account to raise money for Marlion and his family.

The goal is $10,000. I have put in $100.
It says it can be done as a team fundraiser with a minimum five members. So if anyone would like to join me, send me a PM with your email and I will add you. The more the merrier to get the word to as many Richmond supporters as you can.
For those on other Richmond forums, it would be great if you could share the link. Please let me know if it doesn't work.

good job TF17. great speil.
Ive emailed Benny seeking reassurance the RFC is taking care of Marlion and his family and made a couple of suggestions.
philosophically, I think it falls to the club and his teammates to see him right.
But if I dont get a response by next payday, I'll go over their head and join The Army with a hundred.
