Its amazing the tall poppy syndrome here.
Pickett is a good player.
I agree he was crap today. My guess is he was hampered but you can't say that because its just making excuses right?
Most of you havent even seen him play but are so quick to get your back up because of the people who have seen him play and their opinion.
FACT: IF he was such a crap player that some of you guys make him out to be, why was he named Emergency not once but 2 weeks in a row???
I think he will come out finals and produce the goods.
Anyway you all got your wish.
Unbelievable, yay for you.
I've seen him play a number of times now. Granted today was his worst game.
But I was at the G watching him last week too. I also thought he was rubbish then. AFL traits, WAFL concentration. Spent a lot of time spectating. But at least last week he did something when he got it.
I just wonder if he is the right use of the mid season draft. Unproven at even VFL level, a 10 week lay-off ahead of him, and also, a half back flanker. Seeing we were down a tall defender, and we have very little redundancy in this position, there may have been a better VFL option.
Garth was good today. Kmac is an interesting option as a tall defender, but needs an apprenticeship there if we're going to try it. But that's all we have if one of our talls in the backline go down.
Not sure what benefit Pickett offers right now. None, going on form.
