Pickering was a talented footballer from Vermont whose fine marking was the trademark of his game. Courageous and determined in his approach to the ball Pickering won the Tigers' best and fairest award in 1988. That season he was made vice-captain and led the side well when Weightman was unavailable, he fell out of favour late in 1991 and was traded to Melbourne playing only two seasons with the Demons.
He was appointed as coach of the Fitzroy Football Club in Premier C of the VAFA for the 2012 season.[1]
