Any concerns Marlion Pickett’s two premierships in 20 AFL games could get to his head have been well and truly quashed, with the incredible lengths of his kindness laid bare this week.

The South Fremantle product has four children and only earned 50 per cent of a rookie wage in 2020, but it didn’t stop him from giving his AFL grand final tickets away for free.

And remarkably, while his teammates were preparing for the season finale, that’s not the only classy gesture he made during the biggest week of the football season.

"One fella asked for a photo, so we took a photo out there," Pickett told The Age.

"We started talking and stuff. He's going through a really hard time at the moment about him and his partner having a big fight. He got kicked out of his house (and) has two kids.

“I was talking to him, trying to make him feel a bit better. Just to make sure he was all right and work a way through it.

“He was a really nice guy to talk to. I don't like leaving people that aren't in the right state of mind by themselves, especially when they're going through a hard time."

Despite the 28-year-old going well above the call of duty for the fan who only expected a selfie, he’s refusing to leave his new acquaintance on his own.

"I messaged him the other day, just before the granny to check if he was alright and stuff like that. I'll probably message him this week just to see how he's going,” Pickett said.

"I'm always there for someone if they need talking to. It doesn't matter if I know you or I don't at all."

The incredible act of kindness came just days after he handed out two highly-sought after grand final tickets, provided by the AFL, for no return.

"Instead of making some extra bucks and making some extra dollars off them, I ended up giving them away," Pickett said.

"The people that were coming from Darwin wanted to pay for them but I don't really like selling things to people if I'm not using them and I don't need them. It makes me feel better just to give them away.

"One of them is like an old mate. He asked if he could buy them off me and I said ,'Nah, don't worry about it. I'm not using them and I'm not going to trade you for something I never paid for so just take them.”

Taken by the Tigers in last year’s mid-season draft, Pickett could be forgiven for wanting to celebrate his second flag emphatically, after playing a role in this year’s home-and-away season.

He famously made his debut in last year’s grand final, becoming an instant life member at Richmond after one solitary game.

But Pickett wasn’t interested in getting boozy after a difficult year for his family.

"I know it's a big game and what not but it's just another game, I haven't really been celebrating,” he said.

“I've just been with my family and enjoying time with them. Just probably a bit of family time after a good win. The kids have been struggling a bit. It's time to get them out and about.”

The Manjimup-born midfielder will return to WA on Wednesday to be reunited with his ill father.

"(Dad's) alright,” he said.

“(He’s) struggling every now and then but (he’s) doing the best he can do."
