Welcome to the Tigers Marlion Pickett!

[Tigers of Old]

Pickett's success as a ruck can't be measured against a 3rd game, 3rd string ruckman but as at least a one off it was a genius coaching move last night.
I was actually shocked by how high he could jump. Also very handy as an extra mid at the fall of the ball. Flexibility is one of Marlion's great strengths.

Agreed. Also showed off his ability in the contest.

 

[Streak]

I doubt he'll ruck against Gawn (though I'd like to see it).

Gawn, considering this possibility, has apparently already told the Dees he wants a trade to Richmond.

 

[JimJessTorp]

Was good.

His goal was a result of his hard hits on players over the past 12 months. He scared Hill into dropping the mark and took full advantage.

CCJ must've watched that game last night head in hands. Like some others on our list would be on 50 games at many other clubs. Max Gawn next week and would silly to ruck Marlion on Max.

should be dropped.

cant kick, bumps when he should tackle, unreliable down back.

its wing or bust

True. But his success should also only be assessed on his pinch hitting. Obviously nobody is saying or expecting him to be our new number 1 ruck. On that basis, signs are very good. His ability and unorthodoxy make it a real unsettling wildcard move.

And as I said, the move was made on the basis of his past success in the role in the WAFL, there was well and truly method in it.

 

[Harry]

I can see merit with him playing as an inside mid but reckon his greatest value is owning territory and closing down space on the wing. Both on the ground and in the air. He's like a cheetah waiting to pounce on an unsuspecting gazelle.

Agree

 

[tigerman]

Showed another sting to his bow last night as a pinch hitting ruckman.
Have posted before that I thought he was the perfect replacement for Prestia when he did his hammy. I ike him on the wing, but I like him in the midfield more.

 

[Mr Brightside]

Is it asking too much that he does a career best tackle on Clayton Oliver next Saturday night , flags will already be at half mast

Our Marlion can do it all easy, and he makes it look easy.

Being a traditionalist, I'd prefer viney.

Yes - saw that - Hill heard feet of the Marlion approach and he basically just said here take the footy.....

Easily Marlion‘s second best game for us and has proved he can play anywhere on the ground.

We’ve already *smile* him up ... gotta be fair

 

[Bennnny]

Thought he was just about best on ground. As he said in his book he likes to have a smash.

Not so sure... I have fond memories of superstar Clayton Oliver kicking it into their forward half

Majestic beast!
