Playing career

A small and pacy rover, Pickett started his career in the 1990s with West Perth, playing three WAFL matches, but couldn't make an impact due to injuries. [3] [4] In 2001 he tried again, joining Peel Thunder and the following season became the first ever player from the club to win a Sandover Medal. [2] [5] He won his second Sandover Medal in 2004 while at Subiaco where he also enjoyed team success with four premierships. [2] [6]

In 2008 Pickett was named in Subiaco's official 'Team of the Century' as a forward pocket. [4] [7]

In early 2009 Pickett had a stint at Nightcliff in the Northern Territory Football League. [8]

Personal

Pickett is married with four children. His oldest son, Alliston, also played for Subiaco, [4] and in July 2010 made WAFL history by being the first ever father and son to play in the same league game. [9] Pickett is related to Byron Pickett and Jeff Farmer. Pickett is credited with giving Farmer the nickname "Wizard". [10]
