Welcome to the Tigers Marlion Pickett!

[frickenel]

When he reads the play, there aren't any big words for Pickett. He reads the game as easliy as you'd read a little Golden Book.

The extra space of the MCG and this guy are a marriage made in heaven.

 

[tha8ball]

What the hell have we unearthed here!?!

He is a Rolls Royce made to drive at the MCG.

 

[Baron Samedi]

Kicking that goal was as close to a divine moment as you get on a footy field.

Thank you, Marlion.

His the most talked about guy from the grand final.
Hope he doesn’t mind all the attention

 

[zippadeee]

West coast have offered 4 first rounders and Dusty

 

[Sintiger]

I wrote when he was picked that he is the type of player who will play better in the AFL than the vfl with better players around him.

I was wrong, he didn’t need the better players around him. He did most of it on his own.

Disappointed there was no gatorade shower after the game.

We are seriously trolling the rest of the comp when we pick up Lynch Stack and Pickett for nothing then win the flag by almost record margin. lol.

 

[ToraToraTora]

Is he Rising Star eligible? If so I advise taking 3 mortages and plonking it all.

 

[BetterTigers]

Can’t wait to see next year when Marlion and shedda learn to play together. Double silk.

Don’t forget that Tim Kelly also said he was a gun.
Marlin said something akin to this yesterday he was a Richmond player and it’s the only place he will play footy because they gave me the chance when no one else would!!

Geez I love what this club has become.

Congratulations to Marlion wow!!

Unflappable ,not overawed just did his thing cool as a cucumber the lad !!

Poised hard silk as described.

Gonna get a much bigger pay check in the future too!!

I’ve been harping on about this all year (well not Pickett). Three top ten equivalent pix for nix in terms of draft picks and two of them, currently at least, near the bottom of the salaries I’m sure. Just brilliant outcomes.

 

[Quickdraw]

I don't know if anyone has made this comparison but when I look at Marlion I see him move like Maurice.

 

[TrialByVideo]

Need to get another 99 games into him...
Marlion Jnr in 9 years + 2 more boys and his daughter for our AFLW team
Happy days!

My fave moments were the collective "WHOA!" when Marlion did the pirouette and of course his goal.

I had goosepimples as soon as he took the mark

Our midfield lineup looks a completely different beast with him in there.

All of a sudden we have extra speed, grunt and most importantly more clearance power!

Can't wait for round 1 when we roll out a fitter Marlion Pickett.

Hopefully we set the RFC consecutive win record too.

WOW, I love our club.

 

[Baloo]

As he was lining up for that goal you could literally feel 100k at the G willing it to go through. When it went through the roar was pretty special.

What a debut. This Grand Final will have always have the dual side stories of Graham's sacrifice in the Prelim but how it resulted in the greatest Debut game in AFL history.

Too old unfortunately.

Just wait until Tim Kelly tells Geelong he wants to play with Marlion.

 

[CarnTheTiges]

Anyone see his oldest? If that kid doesn’t turn into a footballer, I’ll go he. Never has a football out of his hands.

Yep.... 99 games and only 9 years to go... to draft him.

Come to think of it..... when was the last father and son to play together in the VFL/AFL?
