Picken selection question

Re: Picken selection question

Deledio will be his next job, maybe Browny, rekon Brown would lose interest pretty quick with a decent tagger

Re: Picken selection question

I believe one of our missing links to the team has been a real tagger, Ling, Rawlings, Sewell etc etc, before today, Boomer has always cut us to shreads, today "Pick Pocket" Picken kept Boomer to less than 20 possies, had he been free all day, they probably beat us AGAIN, even Sam Power had more possies today than Boomer, we have always had trouble keeping those dangerous midfield types at bay, Juddy is another one.

A player of Harvey's experience knew he was effectively getting beaten by a 1st gamer...was frustrated and tryed getting physical with him at different stages of the game + Harvey didnt do anything outstanding all day.....ESPECIALLY on a wet day which would have suited one of the leagues smallest blokes

Think Picken could pinch at least 5 matches this season, and will be interesting to see him in a less negating role, ie playing on a wing or half back, and see how he goes when his instrcution is to play + create rather than just not loosing touch of a player all day

Re: Picken selection question

I liked the kid today and think he should get anther 2 or 3 weeks just for reward. After that we will have Cooney match fit, Welsh and Murphy back.

I love the thought of Callan, Tiller, Everitt, Grant, Reid & Okeefe fighting it out for a senior spot.

Maybe stack may wake up!

If O'Shea recovered would we have to put him back on the rookie list?

Re: Picken selection question

Yep - and it was heartening to watch a young 42 get a run. There is a bit of Boyd (probably more than Morris) about Picken.

Happy, and for the first time we had 4 rookies/ex-rookies in Bulldogs colours. Good for the club.

I was more talking about age and perseverence than player type but I agree there is more Boyd than Morris it would be marvelous if he turns out half as good

Re: Picken selection question

I liked Picken today..seems like a hard worker ...why not give him more time to show some other aspects of his game...if he doesn't come up, put someone else in...
