Latrelle Pickett (born 28 December 2005) is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for the Melbourne Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He plays as a small forward.
Pickett grew up in South Australia, and played his junior football for Tumby Bay before moving to Mallee Park in the Port Lincoln Football League.[1][2] A member of the Pickett family, he is the cousin of fellow Melbourne forward/midfielder Kysaiah Pickett, a nephew of former two-time premiership player and Norm Smith Medallist Byron Pickett, and second-cousin to Marlion Pickett.[3][4] He is of Indigenous descent.[5]
Pickett was a member of Port Adelaide's Next Generation Academy, but was overlooked in the 2023 AFL draft.[6] After a brief stint in the SANFL with Norwood's under-18s team in 2023, he returned home to Tumby Bay to play country football.[7][5] In 2025, he returned to the SANFL to play for Glenelg's reserves team, where he kicked 32 goals from 18 games.[8]
Pickett was drafted by Melbourne with pick 12 in the 2025 national draft, with cousin Kysaiah presenting his match jumper.[5][9][10]
