Could not agree more. 1st half was excellent, was very disappointed to see him subbed out - although it was preplanned apparently
He 8 disposals in the 1st 1/4. 1 in each of the 2nd and 3rd. I know Picketts influence goes way beyond disposals, but his influence dropped way off.

Actually his game was more than his disposals - because there were a few occasions where his hardness at the ball and the opposition just changed the flow of the game in our favour - either by forcing a stoppage or allowing a teammate to get the ball

I dont disagree at all. but his impact definitely waned after a huge 1st quarter.

Agree , makes less an less mistakes , I wonder what he may have been if givin the opportunity at a younger age
Stacky mark 1. The Foosh had more than his fair share of issue as a youngster, so easy to think that he'd have been extremely similar to Stacky had he entered the AFL system as a teen.
Got a missus, got kids, already been down the *smile* road of maybe no return before he realised he had one final opportunity to put the head down n focus on the real important stuff of life n make a career in footy.
Done brilliantly since has Marlion, One could only have hoped that Stacky could have seen n learn't from Marlion's life story but he obviously wasn't paying much attention.

Marlion should have followed him on Tik Tok to get stacky's attention

Is getting better each season.
@taztiger4 will have to confirm , however met the wife of late Premiership player Colin Beard on Thursday night , lovely lady , she told Taz that Colin had a bit to do with us getting Marlion .
Colin was a Life Member @ South Fremantle as well as Richmond, his widow told me that Colin would keep our recruiting team updated on Marlion regularly & incessantly :), it worked !

She also said his Life Member rights @ South Freo passed when Colin passed but she still has access to Colin's RFC Life Member rights until she goes.

Had an impact BUT had 8 touches in the first quarter and 2 across the second and third. Cleary ran out of puff. The sub was the right call.

There was talk that he was fit as a fiddle while training remotely and then came back and Ceaser's good oil told us that he was in rehab a fair bit.

We need the first-quarter Pickett across the entire game. He's an interesting watch, how fit is he?
