Apparently they are saying that Pickett could play tomorrow even though he wasn't named emergency.

I remember Carroll came in to play his first game when he wasn't even named.. maybe that's why he was rested mainly during the second half leaving him fresh for Monday. Damn, it would be good to see Chopper playing and see him roughing up those pretty boys down there! He has that scary presence within him.

dunno about this, his fitness isnt 100 per cent yet but would be a nice addition to hit the hawks

Give it a break . Pickett was rested for most of the second half because he was cactus for the day, not to keep him fresh for a game two days later. If Pickett were to play tomorrow he wouldn't last five minutes.

5 minutes on, 10 off, 5 minutes on, off till the start of the next quarter!!

simple, impact player (davey will lift 100% if byron plays as well)

Pickett is not ready. If he was, he would have been named, plain and simple.

He is not 100%, and will be another week or two away from coming back into thedemons squad. He is an impact player, i would hope we can bring him back when he is 100%, that way he willbuild the form that won us so many games last year.

A 50% fit pickett is not worth playing.

Fitness aside, his form doesn't warrant a call up just yet either.

Personally I'm glad ND is making him earn his spot back.

Go Dees - Maul the Hawks

The way Pickett presented himself during the pre season was pretty average if you ask me. Let's be honest - he looks like he is 6 months pregnants. No players in this day and age can afford to come back overweight and battling to find fitness. I know he's a big bloke anyway but I have to say that I'm a quite dissapointed in Byron.

You'd have to imagine he will get pretty hug ala Kickett once he hangs up the boots!?

Gotta hand it to him though, he seems to do this every year, but he gets fit pretty quickly.

I dont think he gets fit quickly but he does his job and certainly deserves the 22. Dont play him tho. Hes not right and will provide very little and may have a chance of straining his hammy again.
