Picken was a dashing defender, capable of taking a spectacular mark and dashing off with the ball turning defence into attack in an instant. A kink in his ability was his awkward kicking style and its lack of direction and penetration.

Picken also played first-grade cricket for Collingwood Cricket Club and had the dubious distinction of being the first-grade cricketer suspended by the Victorian Cricket Association for striking an opponent during a cricket match.
