Round 9: Pickett's left foot pearler

Marlion Pickett delivers a wonderful snap on his left.

Richo says:

“Coped extremely well with the expectations placed on him after a premiership with Richmond in just his first game of AFL football. Cemented a spot for himself in the specialist wing position and his confidence grew as the year went on. Had some really big moments in the run home. Hits in hard and is always moving forward and taking ground. Has the full skill set and will only get better.”
