    Even if he had taken that mark, he would have held the title of the best mark not to win mark of the week.

    Did you catch Hoskin-Elliott's mark at Canberra yesterday. Phenomenal.

    Billy would have been very proud of his son's leap and even prouder of his game. I am sure Liam is a coach's dream. An ever evolving footballer who always gives his all and can play a number of roles. Great value for the team.

    What a great game he played yesterday, two goals, 30 disposals 6 inside 50's. This bloke never gives up, is tough as nails and gives his all. He is overshadowed by our other midfielders, but I bet he is first picked every week by the MC.

    Good call.
    He also had 12 score involvements, which was a match high.
    Just continues to perform well week in week out - he never lets us down.

    My fave player. So hard at it and pretty damn skilful without frills. I saw him at VFL match about 3 weeks ago with his lovely children. He also happens to be a great Dad from what I could see, patient and fun. He and Dahl to me epitomise the Bulldog spirit. Oh, Libber too. And Wally....So excited by the team and our coach. Love Ya Picken!!

    He played a really good game yesterday. He made me throw a little tantrum with the missed target to Liberatore in the second quarter that resulted in the latter taking the legs of an opponent, but aside from that I was really happy with the way he played.

    I continue to be amazed at how well he's rounded his game.

    Re: Liam Picken

    Picken has certainly blossomed under the current coaching team. Whereas previously he was a lock down type player, he is now a very accomplished all round player.

    As BAD mentioned he would be the first player picked each week (among a few others). It really seems to be that we have this vast list of players that just have an outstanding work ethic.

    Had he nailed a few set shots in other games, his stocks would be a bit higher. As it is, has been dangerous in all parts of the ground, and I am loving being able to hang it on my mates who for years have been telling me he belongs in the VFL.

    Gotta love Liam. 100%er. Nevar say die. No guts, no glory. Winners nevar quit ... Pick your sporting aphorism - they all apply to Liam.

    Well, on the wall at Hamilton Footy club, it used to say "A winner never quits and a quitter never wins!" Sums our man up nicely.

    You'd be annoyed as a Collingwood supporter. You could handle a dour lock down type playing at another club as a Son Of but as each season goes by and Liam becomes a better and better player you'd be thinking you'd really let a good one slip away.

    James Stewart developing nicely at GWS, while their own list falls in a heap.
    You have to wonder what's going on there and just how much off-field value a quiet, hard working dedicated type like Liam would have helped their list.
