Is it fair to say he's never been dropped ?

Only when injured Ox

Quite the oddity considering everyone supposedly had to warn their spot....

Vickery, Grigg, Ellis, Houli to name 4 are clearly Dimma favourites. Throw in Newman too

I think Dimma made a serious error in judgement playing Griffiths, Vickery and Jack in the smaller confines of Metrocon Stadium in humid conditions. I understand he is trying to get them used to structuring up together for the larger grounds but Vickery or Jack should have been omitted for Lloyd or A.Edwards. Dimma dropped the ball here imo

Couldn't agree more Stripes.

Houli has been pretty consistent. Ellis was the sub for a month or 2 last year and earnt his spot in the side.

Grigg and Vickery been very very lucky for a long time.

Houli was sliding around in some sort of Alex Rance tribute act.

If we dish that crap up again like last night against the scum they will bury us in the first 15 minutes.

for all those who want vickery out atm. there is no other option.  thats the scary thing imo. i look at the list and i only see elton and im asking is he ready.
list management hey you could see this sort of scenario coming a mile off.

i dont care what anybody thinks  but you have to play two real good sized kpfs. you then need  athird tall weather that be a ruckman forward, or a pinch hitting forward ruck. we have good tall structure up forward. the club have it right in this regards.the question is are those talls good enough. we went and got hampson to allow vickery to stay at home so we could maintain good structure thru games. the concept or idea is correct.
fail to keep good structure and all that will happen is what talls we do play are up against two or three tall opponents all the time.

 we are a middling team along with 10 other middling teams while appalled at the way we played and performed this week in some ways it is to be expected. we cant throw the structural  baby out with the bath water.

if we drop vickery the option is to play griffiths permanently  forward with riewoldt hampson as the ruck/for and bring in the big o to start in the ruck.
