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]
