damn bad news for pickett, he is a gunnnn

 

[gohawx]

A gun player no doubt, but just a hint of karma that the shoulder that has put so many players out of games has eventually come back to haunt him!!!!!!!

 

[Darealrath]

Was it when he tried to clean up Woosha Welsh, suspected broken hand and all ? He's tough that kid.

 

[captain ebert]

well, if channel 9 in sydney showed the last 3 mins instead of cutting to the league, i wouldnt have been so shocked at this news.

lol,

Wesh 1 Pickett 0

 

[Fall Out Boy]

Going to be tough for Port to cover his loss. Tough, skilled and creative players are hard to find.

Now that is funny schit. Here is a guy who prides himself on cleaning up players, and when he goes to lay an unnecessary hip'n'shoulder on a guy 3/4's his size, he ends up being out for 8 weeks.

Karma that is Byron. Enjoy the view from the stands.

Bad luck Choppy.

Pevers, you are obviously a true legend....in your own lunch time. I am not sure of which club you follow, but if you think fair hip'n'shoulders are unnecessary and not part of the game, then your team must be playing in the national netball league.

Well said.

Im so devastated to hear about Choppy, he's such a good player and he will certainly be missed in the side.

 

[Angry Dragon]

See ya in a few weeks thug.

The "fairness" or otherwise of Byron's hip and shoulder routine, is I believe open to some debate.

That aside, if you can't recognise the irony here without throwing a tizzy fit, then maybe it's you whose team should be playing in the netball league

He picked the wrong man to try and take out.

Whilst Im disappointed Roo couldnt have taken him out in Round 7....Ill just have to wait


The sadder thing is Ill miss his style. The game could do better to encourage his fair shirtfronts and "seagull like" bumps.

Just out of interest...

Byron Pickett - 178cm, 84 kg
Andrew Welsh - 187cm, 79 kg

Sure are a lot of bitter Essendon fans around at the minute.

All Crows fans are bitter by default.

Nothing to do with bitterness, just years of watching pickett cherry-pick blokes who weren't looking perhaps?

Isn't irony wonderful?

Then which Essendon player has he done this to that Bombers fans suddenly have such a stake?

 

[Demonheart]

Even though some Melbourne players have been on the receiving end of Pickett's bumps I still enjoy watching him play footy. We could use a few more like him at our club.
