Welcome to the Tigers Marlion Pickett!

It was great to see Marlion kick a couple snaggers last week.
He's very unselfish, be good to see him back himself in a bit more and take a few more shots.

Just an article about what we supporters already know about Marlion but anyone relying on AFL stats & their view on a player you have to seriously question , they have Pickett below average for pressure acts

Probably a dumb question,but. Do the pressure acts get averaged against all the players or just compared to other wing men??? Wouldn't have thought that wing men would have that high a pressure rating as their job is mainly running up n down the ground like maniacs either linking up in your sides possession chains or filling holes n space to try n disrupt opposition chains.

Reckon old Foosh puts plenty of pressure on oppo players whenever he gets somewhere near them n they start to hear them footsteps coming regardless of what champion dither comes out with.

Stats and football gambling.
How did these things infiltrate our wonderful game?
I’m old school.
I rely on my eyes to tell me who played well and who didn’t.
I don’t need someone telling me Marlion doesn’t apply pressure according to their convoluted metrics.
Ignore the noise.
Enjoy the game

Not sure why opposition blokes try to blue him every week. Not the type that looks like he’d take a backward step and definitely not some,one I’d want to mess with.

Because they know he can't do anything.

Until the Granny!

 

[tha8ball]

PUT HIM IN THE MIDDLE.

 

[St Kevin]

Did some good things, but gambled a few times and got burnt.

 

[Streak]

PUT HIM IN THE MIDDLE.

I given up on us ever doing this.

 

[UKTiger]

Did OK but not to the usual high standards he sets for himself

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

I said he would be close to our best player this year and I didn't see anything to say he wouldn't be yesterday

 

[jb03]

Been great but had a bit of a 'mare today. Looked off.

 

[Harry]

Never seen him so lethargic and soft at the contest.

 

[saigon tiger]

Never seen him so lethargic and soft at the contest.

And fumbling. Shocking !

 

[tigersnake]

Terrible. It was strange to watch. So many rookie/ seconds player mistakes. WOG

Quite a few of the Indigenous lads were flat. I wonder if the Willie Rioli Snr death during the week had an impact? Something like that is an intangible.

I was just having this same conversation with a mate of mine. Could very well been the case.
