About this listen

[Watch full episode here] In this powerful episode of Shaped, we sit down with premiership teammate and mate Marlion Pickett to unpack one of the most remarkable journeys in AFL history.


Best known for making his debut in the 2019 AFL Grand Final and becoming a Richmond premiership player in his very first game, Marlion’s story begins long before the MCG. Growing up in Western Australia, he faced tough circumstances that led to juvenile detention at 16 and eventually prison. But instead of letting his past define him, Marlion turned his life around, for himself, his partner, and their kids.


Marlion shares openly about his upbringing, the challenges of finding identity, the turning points that gave him a second chance, and how football helped him rebuild. Now, beyond the AFL, he’s using his story to give back, mentoring youth and creating opportunities for his community.


This is more than a football story; it’s a raw, inspiring reminder of resilience, redemption, and the power of choice.
