Player Watch #50 Marlion Pickett Retirement

[Sir_Loin]

Will never forget the 2019 granny. What a story. Thanks for the memories what a ride

Mentality ! Lol

Imagine the mentality of letting possibly the next Kozzie or Byron Pickett play for North or St Kilda or someone else because you begrudged a two time Richmond premiership warrior getting to 100 games. Especially when we've bottomed out.

Dumb logic was the pathetic Kelvin Moore scenario. I can't believe you even gave that creedence. I ignored it because it was ridiculous, a bit like your attitude.

We are losing more than a thousand games experience, we will be flooded with kids and the only ONLY bloke in the team that has a red hot dip, is aggressive and will make these babies walk taller is MP.

You keep playing fantasy football trades with your team. I will keep my feet on the ground and think logically. The concept seems to have escaped you.

You don't get it ... but useless trying to explain.

But there is ZERO ... ZIP .... NADA ... NAUGHT .... NIL ... that any of Pickett's offspring is the next Kozzie or Byron Pickett.

They are more likely to be the next Jacob Koschitzke, or more to the point some B-grader for Richmond Centrals or Rosebud.

Stop dreaming up fantasy outcomes and join the rest of us in reality.


Hopefully Mansell now has three seasons left in him so we eventually get access to his gun kids.

It was one of the best footy stories ever, Richmond was a land of opportunity and he grabbed it with both hands.

Possibly the dumbest post I've seen in ten years of BF and that's saying something.

You're well named Wooden Robot for all the sawdust between your ears. Who would have thought that someone with a wooden head was such a brilliant analyst of football youth.

The Pickett's are a football factory and have been for generations. They would have a very high chance of making the level actually, Marlion Jr in particular. But hey, you know better because you're a sawdust filled young talent guru who has already put a line through his kids. Perhaps you have crystal balls ?

It's a moot point now with Marlion having retired but at least you get to dance with joy that there's no way his sons ever get to represent the Tigers. How happy that must make you.

teared up watching marlion speak, he got out what he wanted to say, he was grateful to us.....what a journey he has had. Lets hope we stick fat with him over his next few months.

Well done Marlion, your a champion!!

That family tree is a football goldmine ... so many names that you don't even realize .... Leon Davis, Neville Jetta and even Shai Bolton's uncle is a Pickett ... for God sake Nicky Winmar's bloodline is tied into the Pickett's .... your ignorance to say Zero Zip Nada Nought is astounding tbh

Whitfield still trying to find him

 

[Dr Tigris]

Very sorry to see you finish Marlion. What a great story and great tiger.

 

[lvt06]

Said something to Rioli "while you're still here"

Yeah and Rioli laughed. Think he's long gone

 

[panatha1908]

I've got it! Let's buy him a housr in our zone! Then the 100 games doesn't matter...

In fact, we should find the best under 16 year olds and move them all. Time to play the system!!!

 

[voorhees]

another retirement speech!!
man looked at ease and happy in the decision. He would of been well liked around the club.

Glad you can predict the ability of seven year old kids and 11 year olds. Kudos.

If they are any good, we'll draft them.

Who said they can't represent the Tigers????

PS The sooner we go back to giving guys games on form and merit, the sooner we'll get out of this rut we're in.

Most of these premiership blokes have barely fireda shot all year with nine and 10 of them in th3e team at once, yet it's imperative to keep playing them for legacies and keepsakes.

One of many amazing stories during our success. Thanks for everything Marlion and all the best in retirement, you are a Richmond man for life

 

[sante]

Said something to Rioli "while you're still here"

He’s going to look after the Tiwi islands for both Daniel and Maurice while they’re both still here. Nothing to do with a potential trade

 

[db26]

Great career pure determination and hardworking. Was a beautiful mark of the footy to.

 

[Madtiger2006]

A short successful career. Good luck for the future marl

 

[Wooden Robot]

All the best for the future, Marlion.
I hope wherever the road takes you it's filled with happiness and good fortune.
Glad you got a pair of Tiger premierships in.

Please delete this rubbish

you are really exposing your lack of any knowledge

How the hell you can know what a kid is going to be like as a player at the age of 13 is beyond belief

as others have said you have a block of wood as a brain

 

[guruisatiger]

My favourite highlight was marlions debut at punt rd.the jack dyer stand was full the Terraces full and the grass area on punt rd.all full. We were there to witness a sensational debut at least 80% of the people there were to see marlion
He didn't dissapoint. And a love affair took shape with all us tigers and marlion
Thanks mate you made us all shine a little bit brighter that day and every day since
Sorry for the loss of your father may he RIP
enjoy retirement and spend quality time with your family
Thanks from guru

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

When talking about his partner Jess, his mum and his late father it got to me. We really need to make sure this bloke stays closely connected to the club in some type of capacity. Go well Marlion.

 

[The_Kraken]

His story is worthy of its own film.
Thanks, Marlion, for those sweet 2019 GF memories.
You'll always have a place at the table at RFC.
