Look if he could just do the defensive work and intercepting, and give off handballs to a running player instead of kicking it himself....

The Carlton posters on the main board (arrow especially) are the biggest bunch of arrogant twats I’ve read.
F#%k Carlton.
I think that more has to do with O'Driscoll playing as more of a defensive winger in his absence - which also correlates with his lack of goals this season. Acres played that role last year.

Acres has been Carlton'd. Carltoning is a pretty dangerous disease that he could easily spread to his teammates if we let him back here.
Symptoms include kicking inside 50 with your eyes closed, blaming your teammates for mistakes and having the innate compulsion to lose games for draft picks.
Liam Jones avoided Carltoning the rest of the Bulldogs by retiring for a year to recover from it.

There’s not a single decent Carlton poster on the whole site
I wonder what negotiations took place with his legal team regarding the terms of surrender.
Smells a bit.

Yeah, I hope it's all a big mistake too but that's unlikely.
Freo and the Weagles took a lot of heat for letting Pickett 'slip thru our fingers'. Maybe we were aware of unfavourable background info all along.
Hurt feelings aside, that makes sense if they want to honor the 10 year anniversary of getting smashed by Brisbane in a grand final (also makes sense as Brisbanes MCG form is worse than ours)
Of course we were aware. And so was every single other club. Read his Wikipedia page. It's pretty shocking stuff (domestic abuse, starvation, drug addiction, prison, violence, burglary, suicide attempts) and was known by all clubs. Richmond just gave him a chance.
matty rowell will absolutely have his way with that carlton midfield

Whoa. I assume the AFL would consider this to be outside of the salary cap.

AFL star Marlion Pickett accused of $380k cash theft
Richmond redemption story Marlion Pickett has been granted bail under strict conditions amid allegations he was involved in the theft of more than $380,000 in currency during a string of burglaries in Perth.
thewest.com.au
Richmond redemption story Marlion Pickett is facing allegations he was involved in the theft of more than $380,000 in currency from a string of commercial burglaries in Perth at the start of the year.
The footy star has been granted bail under strict conditions after it emerged he had been arrested on Sunday.
The 31-year-old — who entered AFL folklore in 2019 when he won a premiership with the Tigers on his AFL debut — is facing a series of serious criminal charges dating back to December last year and January this year.
The allegations of burglary, stealing, criminal damage and receiving stolen goods took place over a period of weeks and across several Perth suburbs.
And during his bail hearing on Monday, the gravity of those charges was revealed, as WA Police opposed bail for the former VFL and WAFL star.
It is alleged that Pickett, along with others, were involved in four thefts — including one involving $325,000 taken from a currency exchange in Girrawheen.
The court was told that it will be alleged Pickett bought tools and clothes that were worn by the co-accused in the thefts.
It is also alleged he hired a camper van that was later driven across the country with some of the stolen money inside.
It is also alleged he then received payments of $6000 and $9000 into his bank account.
According to the charges before Perth Magistrates Court on Monday, the alleged burglaries occurred in Girrawheen in early December, Beverley in mid-December, Bindoon in the days after Christmas and Beechboro in early January.
Police said Mr Pickett’s brother-in-law was involved in the offence in Bindoon – and has already pleaded guilty.
Defence lawyer David Manera said Mr Pickett knew police wanted to speak to him before he played against Fremantle on Saturday.
And he then spent most of Sunday being interviewed by detectives in Midland, before being charged and spending the night in custody.
He said he still had the support of the club, and it’s players — being a mentor to other indigenous players at the Tigers.
Prior to the court appearance, Richmond spokeswoman confirmed Pickett had been remanded in custody before a bail hearing in court on Monday.
“The club will continue to support Marlion and his family while these matters are dealt with,” the spokeswoman said.
“As this matter is now before the courts, the club will not be making any further comment.”
Pickett’s manager Anthony Van Der Wielen — who was in court to watch the hearing — had earlier said the footy player would be defending himself against the charges.
“Marlion Pickett has been remanded in custody on alleged burglary charges and will attend the Magistrates Court tomorrow for a bail hearing,” he said.
“In response to the allegations, Marlion has a strong intent to defend himself against the charges.
“Due to the ongoing legal nature of the proceedings, Marlion, or myself will not be able to provide any further details, comment or clarification about the matter at this stage.
“We understand and respect the public’s interest in this matter, but we also implore all to respect the presumption of innocence until proven otherwise, and to allow the legal proceedings to follow their due course without prejudice.”
Pickett was in WA over the weekend as he starred for the Tigers’ 15 point win over the Fremantle Dockers and stayed behind after the team left to visit family.
