Player Watch #50 Marlion Pickett Retirement

[Underarm]

None of the other mid season picks will be playing in the next month either so the injury shouldn't mean anything.

He looks great. Shame he is 27.

 

[Grockadoc]

At least with a busted up finger he can still keep up his aerobic fitness through running.
bring him in for the finals.
Pickett will win the Norm Smith. bookmark it.

This. He can hit the gym straight away. Get his tank up and learn the game plan no worries. A broken finger 10 rounds in isn't that bad as he will have touch from his WAFL games.

Just watched his highlights. Finally someone that lowers his eyes and doesn’t bomb it into his teams Forward 50!

Can he play?

Last years qualifying final 26 touches 4 goals
I think he can.

 

[Nobby]

Another player with neck tattoos!!

Looking forward to seeing how he goes once he gets over his finger!!

I bet we'll be sitting around in 5 years time saying "Remember the night on Bigfooty when we picked up Pickett?" and all laughing cause we had no idea that he was gonna play in the 4-peat, win 2 Brownlows and a normy.

Or saying nothing cause he never played a game

Maybe being 27 and being inside for two years has given him some real perspective.
We may only get three years out of him, but if he takes his chance now that we have given it to him, he might just be worth it.

 

[SavDog23]

May be injured but probably still better than 95% of Carltons list.

Could be a good influence on stack as well
Someone who has obviously made some mistakes in his life but is trying to make the most of it as well as coming from the same area as Stack

 

[Rubber Hips]

Peanuts over in Perth never heard of strapping
Just tape the finger to another one and it’s fine

 

[smurfin]

From watching those highlights, looks like he was playing mostly inside. But explosive pace out of the pack and good decisions with his disposal.
Couple of nice contested marks too.

On SM-A520F using BigFooty.com mobile app

 

[OhDustinMartin]

Better than Dusty

 

[Rich o man]

great point mate.
Never thought of that but has real merit.

 

[Cotcho]

Wow we are the indigenous club. Epic! I remember ≈2015 thinking that we were so vanilla without any spark, any flash. Since then we've just gone bang.
Glad the yarran experience didn't put us off. Well done tigers!

 

[NaturalDisaster]

Added highlights vid to OP.

Who’s gonna be the mvp and post the article?

Does anybody have a link to bypass the paywall?

Index finger on his right hand. Broke the tip of it off so they needed to put a wire through the bone to reattach it to make it heal properly.

Finger surgery is *** painful and can only be done by a highly qualified surgeon because of all the nerves. I had my full middle finger reco’ed back in 2006 by Greg Hollywood Hoy. Volar plate reconstructed. Wire entire length of finger for 3 months. More painful than the 2 x knee recos I’ve had. Hope Marlion’s isn’t as severe and he had it done a while ago, otherwise we might not see him this year.

 

[smasha]

Spewing we aren’t playing the handbaggers in a month so this player could come in.
