Rd 20 : Pre Game thread - Carlton V Essendon

[Thryleon]

Pickett had his best game for a month and still had single figure possessions, the ins are about the best we can manage but I wouldn't call them good.

I was thinking its lucky he does a lot without much of the ball because we are odds on to chase tail again around the park this saturday.

Pickett needs a bit of time down back to learn some insight into the game as a whole...he has only one gear and thats fast forward at every opportunity. He has the tools to be a very good and exciting player as I have said many times before but he just needs to become a better decision maker and know when to curb his natural instinct and play safe.
Liam Jones is a classic example of not knowing much about the game and appreciating raw talent needs to be combined with intelligent decision making and the only way is to be given a job where you have responsibility for the entire game minding a man, relying on and combining with others and thats down back in a defensive role.
At the moment Pickett is a one man show who does his own thing when he feels like it.....shades of Chris Yarran but I think we need to stick with Pickett and give him the Liam Jones treatment and see how much he wants to learn and have an AFL career.

Despite our injury woes, despite our youth, despite our form line, I cannot help but have a good feeling about tomorrow!

Hopefully we are not playing Sunday! ;D

Could we see a record number of long sleeves jumpers tomorrow??
I can count 8-10 possibles.
