Liam Picken - 150 Games

[bornadog]

From a rookie to an integral part of our midfield, Liam sure has done very well, hardly missing a game since his debut in 2009.

Tough as nails and always giving 100% for the RWB. Well done Liam.

Great story. Passed up by the Pies. Works hard at Williamstown and gets a rookie contract after a supporters and sponsors have fund raising night at Whitten Oval to pay his salary. Congratulations Picko.

[bulldogtragic]

Thanks to Williamstown for paying his rookie salary to give him a spot. We got $50,000 and a 150 game player. We gave them Vez, Sherman etc. :D

Love him as a player, and love him even more as Boomer Harvey shutdown shitter. Great achievement.

[Greystache]

Great effort.

I wonder what Collingwood supporters think when they see him running around for us.

[I'm Not Bitter Anymore!]

Just love him

[Mofra]

God I love his attitude.
Wasn't he voted bravest player in the competition one year by a player survey?

[The Underdog]

Credit to him. He made a career for himself through sheer determination. A gem

[bulldogtragic]

With another 2 year contract, he is likely going to get into the 200 club. Great company.

That'd be Morris, Boyd and Picken as recent 200 game rookies. A great club the 200 Game Rookie club.

[Mantis]

Hard not to like the way he goes about it.. Just gives his all... Hope we can give him the result he deserves.

BTW there is another milestone this week.

That's a new one.. Collingwood supporters thinking.

Haven't picked that one up?

[whythelongface]

Has always been a solid contributor for our club but, by crikey, he has come on in leaps and bounds under Bevo's tutelage. Well done Picko.

[bornadog]

Great Story:

Stringerrrrr notches up the half ton I believe.

[Twodogs]

Great effort by Liam. He has worked hard at his footy. Fantastic to see him notch up 150 games and still improving his game and his value to the team.

[F'scary]

Just gets better and better.

[Greystache]

I can't believe no one else has said it.

Well done Marcus!

[Sedat]

I can't believe no one else has said it.

Well done Marcus!
Also fantastic work by the club to sign Brad Boyd up for another season

[josie]

Luv ya Liam !!

150 great games of hard at it, in and under stuff, and some super goals too. Hoping there is another 150 games left in the tank.

[Ozza]

Well done Picko. One of my absolute favourites.

I knew Liam a bit at the time he was playing at Willy, and on the handful of occasions I've seen him since he became a bulldog - he has always been the same humble bloke.

So happy to see him carving out a terrific career. Hasn't played less than 20 matches in any season since his debut, and is so consistent and reliable with his effort no matter the circumstances.

Rocket deserves a lot of credit also for bringing him into the club.

[LostDoggy]

3 cheers for the Willy crew for going in to bat for him so strongly. He's done them so proud.

Great story all round with plenty to come.

[Smads57]

Congrats Liam. Yours is the only signature on my cap as my favourite player.

Didn't know that, what an amazing stat. I'd be pretty stoked with that sort of consistantcy and durability if I were Liam.

[Bulldog Revolution]

Heart and Soul player

The more you have like him the better you're going to be

[Ghost Dog]

I can't believe no one else has said it.

Well done Marcus!

I missed this. meaning?

Pride of the western district.

[ratsmac]

Liam is well hard! He is as hard as a cats head. If I were an opposition player seeing Liam Picken flying into a pack I'd be bracing myself for some pain.

I love the way he goes about it. He has even reinvented himself as an inside and outside ball winner this year, who knew?

Congrats on your 150th Pickers.

It was stirring the dickhead commentators who get his name wrong. His brother is Marcus

[LostDoggy]

Such a tough player, so happy he is one of ours. Congrats Liam

[Go_Dogs]

Well done to Picko, great effort. Been a consistent performer for a long time but has really taken his game to a new level this year where he's showcased ball winning ability and that he is a neat user.

Deserves a hard fought finals win.

[Murphy'sLore]

Congratulations, Liam. No one could give more and let's hope you reap the rewards you deserve!

They're not actually related are they?!?

Some fantastic shots of Liam.
Very lucky Collingwood didn't get him given his Dad's career.

[Eastdog]

What a top player he is. He is someone who gives us 100% each time he goes out with our jumper. Congratulations Picko.

[LostDoggy]

His courage and commitment can never,ever be questioned.
Congrats Picko you are a Gem.

[Daughter of the West]

A career highlight for me is him beautifully suiting up for the Bulldogs Hall of Fame dinner, but sporting a massive black shiner over one eye to compliment the look! On ya Picken, well done son. Hope you have a massive night on the field tonight.

[Ozza]

Had a good game in his 150th. Was huge in the third and early fourth quarter when we needed to win some 50/50s.

[1eyedog]

He is an underated overhead mark isn't he!

[merantau]

Liam has been a magnificent player for us. He exemplifies commitment to the cause and this year raised his game to a higher level. Would be a worthy B&F winner. I thought his game last night was excellent. He really put in.
