South Fremantle's Marlion Pickett will become the first
footballer to make his AFL debut in a Grand Final since 1952.


Pickett was handed his team jumper at the MCG only an hour before
the 2019 AFL Grand Final and his team manager says the mature age
player is more than ready for the task.


"If you're going to debut someone it's better than bringing in an
18 or 19-year-old, he's been through a lot," Pickett's manager,
Anthony van der Wielen, said about the 27-year-old.


The player manager also looks after Geelong's Tim Kelly, who has
been the talk of the trades.
"Won't know for a little while. He honestly hasn't made a
decision," he told 6PR.
