Welcome to the Tigers Marlion Pickett!

[Willo]

MP has been poor for a few games. Is it from being thrown around in different positions, being a bit unsure of using his physicality?
Or just simply out of form?
Somethings not quite right with him atm

 

[T-Shirt Tommy]

If we're going to play him to 100 games in this form, then his kids must be something special.

 

[Tigers2011]

Back to the wing for goodness sake.

 

[spook]

Why did we move him from the wing?

He hasn't thrived with the change. Maybe he is playing forward to cover the lack of defensive running of Jack and Cotch?

I think to give Ross a go on the wing

Both.

We have no forward line atm. So our mids' options are to kick it to Aliir Aliir, go round the cape, or try to look for a better option. Marlion tried the latter and got caught. If he'd kicked it to Aliir we'd all moan and if he kicked it wide we wouldn't score. Our forward dysfunction is killing the rest of the side.

 

[snags]

He's not the only one down on form. Thought Bakes, Prestia and now also Shorty have been below their best in the last few weeks.

 

[Feeling Tigerish]

Drop, and the fact that Mcqualt said he thought he played well is baffling to me. Is he serious?

 

[Tigers of Old]

Was interesting to hear Mini say he was given a role on Rozee in the midfield & that it was a win. That was being kind.

 

[Dyer'ere]

I thought he did well. Effective defensive mid. Rozee would kill any of our current second-tier mids. Nice debut in the role with more improvement to come.

 

[spook]

Yep, didn't think Rozee had much impact. Butters was the one who killed us.

 

[KnightersRevenge]

[Little Ziggyadee]

I can't see him in the new generation Richmond, therefore I would expect McQualter to start not rewarding him free games.
He was shocking yesterday and has been all sorts for most of the year

 

[Tigga94]

Why has he become timid

 

[Scoop]

Kicking is shocking at the minute, can’t hit the side of a barn.

 

[toothless]

I wonder if he doesn't like playing in wet conditions as he hasn't seemed to play well this year. You would think given he was formerly known for his physicality at the ball and man would suit such conditions... He mentioned in an article he didn't want to be known as the guy having the most frees against and that Dimma asked him to tone it down somewhat, is now second guessing himself and doesn't know what to do. His kamikaze/amateur style was his strength, take that away there is very little left unfortunately.

 

[T-Shirt Tommy]

Like a lot of players in the side, he is completely bereft of confidence.

The question is, do we keep playing him in the firsts and hope he regains it or do we drop him to find form in the seconds.

I'm leaning towards the latter.

fast rack him to 100 games as quick as possible, we want access to the boys, this is about our future.

 

[The Lurker]

Why has he become timid

The Fish is being umpired out of the game, has a target on his back

 

[waiting]

After his last suspension I saw a change in the way he goes in and attacks the contest.

He is hesitant. You see it.

Whether it was a coach directive or the impact on his hip pocket, definitely there has been a change.

 

[marella jube]

Yep, playing inhibited, mental block, the essence of Marlion diluted.

Handbrake needs to be released.

 

[Smoking Aces]

Came in clutch.
