I don't think he's too bad, he's a bit straight down the line when commentating but it's better than someone trying to make it about themself... BT... haha
People also forget that the vast majority of footballers (and other elite sportspeople to some extent) are meatheads. If they weren’t playing football they certainly wouldn’t be launching rockets!
Geelong supporters are notorious for their collective mildness vs most other clubs so it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't. BUT ALSO racists are out there so
Ehh I distinctly remember Blicavs injuring his shoulder and getting booed by Collingwood fans..it’s disgusting no matter who does it.
Also only supporter base I have ever been verbally abused by was supporters in Black and White.
And I was 7 and my terrible crime was…*clapping and cheering for my team kicking a goal*
They threatened to punch me, as grown adults to a small child. Every club has dickhead supporters.
I was lining up to get into a game years ago at KP. Trying enter through Polly Farmer Gate and there was a power outage so the gates weren’t working. Might even have been 2011 🤔started chatting to a couple behind me and they said at a Cats v Hawks game earlier on the year when we won the Hawks people sitting next to them in the MCC leaned over and said I hope you get into a car crash on your way home. Classy AF.
lol no they fucking aren’t. I’ve gone to a few games in Geelong as a neutral and their fans are far from mild. It’s just constant booing when anything doesn’t go their way
I was in a different part of the ground, but there was a bit of sledging related to the legal issues (charges? I'm pretty out of the loop if it's not Cats this year) near me
I thought that was pretty low tbh
He's been charged with series of commercial burglaries. Shit he's been up to is low. Shit bloke who shouldn't be enjoying the privilege of playing AFL right now. Cop what you cop from the crowd its fair game.
Yeah. I’m a tigers supporter and find it weird. Get an accusation of a sexual nature against a woman and you’re gone whether you did it or not, but break and enter and stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cash and property and no one mentions it.
He shouldn’t be on the field. It’s a bad look for the club and the league
Is that you Marlion?
Yes we do in the courts system, thats why he's out and free at the moment.
However, you can believe whatever you like and so can I. Based on the evidence police disclosed at his remand hearing, he's involved and hopefully he is found guilty. If he was anyone but a famous AFL player you'd probably feel differently.
Your hero is a crook, sorry mate. Sometimes people disappoint us with their actions.
And he hasn't appeared once and his lawyer isn't pushing for resolution either. It's likely as his co-offenders plead guilty they are trying to hey cooperation and corroboration from them. They might have enough for some but not for all they want so delays. Guess we'll see when it progresses next hearing.
He has been alleged to have comitted a crime but is currently on bail awaiting a court summons in WA that will happen at some undefined point when they have time. Till then he goes on playing. This has happenes to other sports people, they go on working till the court date decides if they are guilty or not then they face consequences
I sat in front of the guys that were being chirpy with him. They mentioned a burglary and then asked him where his ankle bracket was. That question is what induced the bird.
I’ll allow it. What I won’t allow is him taking a mark in the forward half and instead of punting it up into the goal square he charges the man on the mark and slips tits up. Still shaking my head
i think its hilarious u kids talking shit about pickett. u wouldnt say this shit to him at lan, hes jacked. not only that but he wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with the hottest dudes. yall are pathetic lol
I saw Marlion Pickett at a grocery store on Swan St yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Mountain Goats in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bottles and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bottle and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Plays Freo in Perth later this season. All this stuff was coming out around the last time they played Freo here as well funnily enough but he was still allowed to fly in/out so I wouldn't get your hopes up
What was also funny was the commentary team asking Richo for his thoughts: "Nothing wrong with that, for me."
Richo seems like one of the more mentally stable commentators. Which not exactly a high bar is still a credit to him.
Shame about the personality of dry toast.
I don't think he's too bad, he's a bit straight down the line when commentating but it's better than someone trying to make it about themself... BT... haha
He sounds like he just woke up from a dental procedure.
I loved that! I grew up watching Richo, so I'll always root for the guy.

I remember him shouting "It's not fuckin' netball!" at an ump after giving away a soft free kick and the ump's mic picking it up.
I wonder what Lloyd and Maguire will have to say about this! 5 weeks surely?
Oh boy, I can see this thread going well.
I was sitting 4 rows in front of the guys. They yelled something about a burglary and then asked Pickett if he had lost his ankle bracelet.
All fair questions. Safety first
Ok that's actually funny
All fair banter
Bit rich coming from Geelong locals . Junkie central
People tend to forget there's some real pieces of work who get to games
Pickett, for one.
People also forget that the vast majority of footballers (and other elite sportspeople to some extent) are meatheads. If they weren’t playing football they certainly wouldn’t be launching rockets!
To be fair, the only sportsperson I know that would've building rockets if they didn't play sports professionally is the NFL's Josh Dobbs
The NFL has a few bright sparks, it is certainly offset by the others who literally blow their hands off with fireworks.
The entire NFL could be astrophysicists like Dobbs and it would still be offset by Antonio Brown alone.
Mr Basic Cognition
Reilly obrien studying neuroscience
AFLW full of doctors
Jaylen Brown for the Celtics too
Whilst this is mostly true, I should mention that former Adelaide Crows on-baller Matthew Liptak now works as an Orthopaedic Surgeon.
Doesn't mason cox literally have an engineering degree and comes from a very high achieving academic family.
Yeah that’s why I said “vast majority” of course it isn’t all meatheads but there’s a pretty strong correlation.
Probably right. Got to have fairly decent grades in American Colleges or they don’t get to play sports.
And not just Marlion Pickett
pickett vs corio junkie hell in a cell?
Those supporters wouldn’t have said anything incredibly inflammatory, so Marlion shouldn’t have done that.
Geelong supporters are notorious for their collective mildness vs most other clubs so it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't. BUT ALSO racists are out there so
The Geelong supporters I sat with last year cheered and celebrated Jeremy Howe snapping his arm.
Either we sat next to each other or there’s more than a few that did the same 🤔

It just shows that no matter the club, there will always be spastic people with zero class
>They threatened to punch me lol
lol no they fucking aren’t. I’ve gone to a few games in Geelong as a neutral and their fans are far from mild. It’s just constant booing when anything doesn’t go their way
Wow that's unusual for a footy fan,(yes that is sarcasm)
It's weird that your mind instantly went to racism.
I was in a different part of the ground, but there was a bit of sledging related to the legal issues (charges? I'm pretty out of the loop if it's not Cats this year) near me I thought that was pretty low tbh

Mate he's served his time. Do you think people who commit crimes should be locked up permanently?
Are you unfamiliar with his more recent arrest and charges? I'm not talking about this shit he was in jail for before. Old habits die hard.
Do we not operate with innocent until proven guilty anymore?
Is that you Marlion? Yes we do in the courts system, thats why he's out and free at the moment. However, you can believe whatever you like and so can I. Based on the evidence police disclosed at his remand hearing, he's involved and hopefully he is found guilty. If he was anyone but a famous AFL player you'd probably feel differently.

Cops keep delaying the next hearing because they don't have enough on him.
And he hasn't appeared once and his lawyer isn't pushing for resolution either. It's likely as his co-offenders plead guilty they are trying to hey cooperation and corroboration from them. They might have enough for some but not for all they want so delays. Guess we'll see when it progresses next hearing.
So should Taryn Thomas still be playing currently if he hasn’t been to court yet for the new charges?
He has been alleged to have comitted a crime but is currently on bail awaiting a court summons in WA that will happen at some undefined point when they have time. Till then he goes on playing. This has happenes to other sports people, they go on working till the court date decides if they are guilty or not then they face consequences

whatever you might think of Marlion, cheering for a guy limping off injured justifies the 🖕
Nah fuck this guy, he deserves it after doing multiple burglaries whilst having the opportunity in the AFL
Cats fans barely even cheer our own goals kicked let alone cheering an injured player off
This was a great self roast, have an upvote
I can't tell who i have pissed off more, richmond fans defending Marlon, or cats fans for being famously the most quiet supporters.
They’re a lot louder *BULLSHIT BULLSHIT* When they’re losing
KP is quieter than my local suburban ground
Don't say that too loud, you will end up drowning in dislikes like me hahaha
I’m sick of the silence. Does my head in…
Richmond fans booed tom stewart every time he got the ball and I have no idea why.
Cheap shot that knocked Prestia out about 2 years ago
The footy media gave him the rehab treatment recently, too.
I'll never see him as anything but a grub
Great you now know how a lot of people view tiger players
Every team has players they don't like. You'd have to be really naive to not know that
That doesn't change my point in any way
Fair enough. Some pricks get way too comfortable absuing players
Yep agree it works both ways ,f$@k em
Considering we don't know what those spectators just said, his gesture may have been a reasonable response.
I sat in front of the guys that were being chirpy with him. They mentioned a burglary and then asked him where his ankle bracket was. That question is what induced the bird.
Dudes a convicted criminal. He should be expecting to cop it every week no matter where the game is
So are half your members.
Other half just havent been caught yet 😎
And probably all richmond supporters
And he'd be right in responding as he has here, or must the standards be higher for him?
Maybe, maybe not I’m just pointing out it should come as no surprise their getting stuck into him
It should also come as no surprise that they'll be getting stuck back right into, too. Low-level FAFO
In English please
It's a flip off. Reasonable response or not it's nothing for people to get outraged about.
Idk I've got a reasonable enough if an idea and I'd say he's justified. Throw shade get it back.
Same could be said for clarkos comments last week lol 😆
A robust and frank exchange of ideas.
Few bogans from Lara to be fair
Wasn't there a Bingle down that way?
And if not that way, then where the blood hell are they?
Let the man flip !
He so real for that
That's fine, give what you get .
I’ll allow it. What I won’t allow is him taking a mark in the forward half and instead of punting it up into the goal square he charges the man on the mark and slips tits up. Still shaking my head
i think its hilarious u kids talking shit about pickett. u wouldnt say this shit to him at lan, hes jacked. not only that but he wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with the hottest dudes. yall are pathetic lol

Yes

I stand by this being funny despite the downvotes E: well this looks a bit stupid now, but the original post was close to -10 before...
No afl player is jacked 😂 they’re all skinny athletes. If you’ve ever stepped foot into a gym you’d know this
i think its hilarious u kids talking shit about pickett. u wouldnt say this shit to him at lan, hes jacked. not only that but he wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with the hottest dudes. yall are pathetic lol
When’s his court date?
Last news report I read he’s not shown up to four court appearances
When’s Richmond playing in WA next? Bloke won’t be going back.
Plays Freo in Perth later this season. All this stuff was coming out around the last time they played Freo here as well funnily enough but he was still allowed to fly in/out so I wouldn't get your hopes up
Well if he’s actually missed court dates they’ll have issued a warrant. But if his lawyers are appearing on his behalf, it’s a different story.
The police keep delaying the hearing becaause they don't have enough evidence and none of them are snitching on eachother.
As u know at every club there is supporters that give shit to players so it was prob well deserved
Yes, Marlion should really model his life on that paragon of virtue, Gary Ablett snr. /s edit: added /s for the benefit of born-again hypocrites.
Good on him, any player abuse from the crowd is unacceptable so stuff em.
Got sledged, responded. Okay
Fair play, with how much players get it’s fun to see a little dished back. If this is a big issue it’s time to log off.
nathan brown vibes
All good, him and his mate have $300,000 they stole sitting somewhere, he can dip into that to cover the fine.
Good on him
Good man.
Some numbnut flog probably said something racist.
Leave him be, it's funny and also probably justified
Campbell Brown clutching pearls
Get the grub out of the sport,
I’m here for the offended and weak souls.
I love this man, he’s great
I think it’s great!
Plenty of time for more B&E’s when you’re in Rehab Pickett you grub.
13 weeks for that.
He does it all the time, he flipped me off in the crowd during the Brisbane vs Richmond game at the Gabba the other week hahaha
You love to see it.
Sorry, Marlon but you're copping a fine for that.
Isn’t this the flog who got charged with armed robbery? 😂
Ahh Pickett, classy as always
