Welcome to the Tigers Marlion Pickett!
- Thread starter tigersnake
- Start date
It was sensational. I loved the head swivel from Whitfield who had no idea where Pickett went.
Definitely Taz - noticed a bit of talent there in the middle of the confetti for sure!
OMG I just watched Grigga’s jumper presentation to Marlion on the RFC website - inspirational!
A great choice to get Grigga to do it and an inspirational speech. Gave me goosebumps and a tear in the eye for the first time this week - not like 2017 at all!
We've already heard people suggest his story is worthy of a movie. and why not? it has to be one of the best stories in the history of the game. expect to see him dominating the "don't believe in never" AFL promos next year.
There is a version up on the Tiger's website
Marlion's moment
Marlion Pickett's teammates and family speak about his incredible Grand Final debut.
Yep going to write a book about it. B Goddard offering to help out considering his other book idea went so well....

Get Tarantino to do it, add a bit of flavour. Guest appearance from Toby biting on an eyeball.
Both Pickett and Lynch with solid pre-seasons will give us something special to look forward to but consider this...When Pickett came to us he had a finger injury but he could still run so our fitness guys would have given him a few months of a mini-preseason to bring him up to a very good level even before playing his VFL games. And Lynch was doing all he could to get fit and play games since Feb so hats off to our fitness guys who have done an amazing job with them. I doubt they are actually a long way back right now so they won't need to be run into the ground over Nov/Dec/Jan. These days clubs monitor training loads and recovery so well that you don't hear many issues with shin soreness, etc. I expect these two, along with many other players, will have a program to maintain what they've got until the team gets back together. Our recruiters and fitness guys are setting the standard for other clubs to follow. So proud to follow this great club.
did he say that? Sounds like Sheeds has a guru/ irrelevancy complex. Loves a good story when it suits him, pours water on it when it doesn't.
another thing, gotta tip my hat to BT, his call on Marlion's blind turn has superb, great moment, great call, like the act itself, the words ''it was like magic in slooow mowtion' will be etched in my brain forever.

Sheedy has no doubt done some great things in and for footy. .... but it's a 2way street and he's made PLENTY out of it. Quite possibly after Eddie, the industry's greatest self promoter.
Would love Dimma to get a couple more flags within a few years and when he knows he's done he walks of his own volition.
They're that dumb at Essendon, they're still paying 300k to a bloke who continuously screwed them over and had to be dragged kicking and screaming out the door!
It’s been said before I’m sure, but Andy Collins and Carlton have inadvertently played important roles in both of our recent flags.
Loved the answer he gave Daisy in the post game interviews. From memory so the wording could be a tad wrong.
D: When did you start to feel at home and relaxed out there?
M: When I first ran out there.
The best bit is that you could see he wasn't taking the *smile* or being funny. It was a dead set straight answer.

I'm pretty sure the apple won't be falling far from the tree with the special gifts Marlion Pickett has!
99 games to go and we have first dibs on his already impressive brood.

loved it, then ended the interview 'thank you'
Daisy: when did you start to feel at home and relaxed?
Marlion: When I first ran out...........Thank you.
the best
Pope Figgy will be out there looking for Marlion MK II
Yep I also PMSL when he said he was calm and relaxed as soon as he ran out lol...... how cool was that loved it.
Cop that daisy thank you ...... lol.
Marlion and Stacky and Soldoman even Chol.
How many cult heroes can a club uncover in one season ??
Maybe we should just take the pisss completely and grab Bennell and get him flying as well.
Could you just imagine our midfield ......... the lols would be unrivalled as would be the tears and venom spitting from the rest of the comp.

Yeah we got Grigg who got us Marlion.
But also get a leg up and get to start the season with 4 points too playing the Bloos in the opener which doesnt hurt either ha ha ha
I've got to admit, BT did a much better commentary this year than 2017. He's actually getting better! Well done BT
