Michael F. Pickering (24 November 1941 – 5 January 1995)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with North Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Early life & family

Pickering was the son of Wally Pickering, who was a legendary forward for Stawell.[2][2] Wally Pickering played in the club's inaugural Wimmera Football League premiership in 1939.[3]

From 1956 to 1959, Pickering went to St Patrick's College, Ballarat.[4]

Football career

Pickering, a ruckman from Stawell, was sought by both Essendon and North Melbourne.[5] Secured by the latter, Picking made three appearances early in the 1961 VFL season, before he was sidelined with an ankle injury and then a dislocated elbow, which ended his season.[6][7] It wasn't until the 16th round of the 1962 season that he returned to senior football, a game against Melbourne at Arden Street Oval, in which he kicked three goals.[6][8] The following round, at Kardinia Park, he kicked another three goals, from a forward pocket.[9] His next appearance, in round 18, would be his last for North Melbourne.[6]

He decided to return to Stawell in 1963 and remained with the club for many years, finishing his Wimmera career with 220 games and three club best and fairest awards.[10][11] In 1969 he was the joint leading vote getter in the Toohey Medal, with Nhill's Rod Coutts, but lost on countback.[11] The league decided in 2003 to award retrospective medals to all players who finished second on countback, which included Pickering.[12] His son, Liam Pickering, a former North Melbourne and Geelong footballer, collected the award on behalf of his father, who died in 1995.[11][13]
