Liam Picken : the apple that fell far from the tree

[Remi Moses]

When I was looking for that Picken goal came across this:

Round 21 2009



What a great game that was in front of 47,000 against Geelong at their peak.

Hurts watching that

I was pretty frustrated with him being played there, as he could have shut out some of Essendon's midfielders.

Problem over the last few years is that the job of tagger has been left to Picko who has adequately performed the task of shutting down one of the oppositions midfielders, but the rest of our mids have played too loosely which hasn't helped our cause.

Agreed. We can't have 3 Picken type midfielders but there is no reason why the likes of Boyd, Cooney and Griffen can't be more accountable.

Can't believe he's only played 87 games, seems like he's been part of the team for a decade.

Picko - love him. You know you're always getting 120% from him, never gives up, never stops trying! Imagine if we had a few more like that?
