Title: Browne vs Vickery?
Post by: Tigeritis™©® on February 14, 2011, 11:06:33 PM

With all the Vickery bashing I thought it necessary to ask this simple question.

I'd go with Vickery hes better in every aspect. kicking, marking, faster, more athletic, good below knees, contested marking, can go forward.
i would keep Vickery over Browne and invest time to develope him.

Vickery :cheers
He just needs to play more game and get a bit of confidence up, he will come good ;)

One is pick 8 and the other was a rookie pick. Both have some talent. Browne got promoted for round 1 in 09 because his pre-season form was so impressive (and also cuz Gus was pathetic).

Vickery might be faster, more athletic and whatever else but he's not getting a kick and doesn't take that many marks either. Both are only 20 odd and I'd be giving both more time to develop.

A fair comment from Davey. Just hope Browne is not another Ty Esler

I'd be playing Graham/Vickery or Derricx/Browne as our ruck combos
Graham & Derricx are more mature bodies
Vickery & Brown are still only babies
This combo also has a taller pure ruck, plus a more mobile/versatile ruck in each one

Vickery. Not by much though, they've both got a fair bit of work to do.

Vickery's lack of aggression really irks me. :-\
Time to step up Tyrone.

Again, this is pretty common for young rucks who are giving up so much weight in a contest
Problem is for most juniors you don't see them playing in the ruck at AFL level until they are 21-22 at a minimum. Vickery isn't even that old yet.

I'd say Vickery's game in Alice Springs puts him Way Way ahead of Browne.

Personaly I don't think browne will make it. But I hope I'm wrong.

Vickery has been in the system for 2-3 years......ffs, lets give him a go, we sure as hell has given more under developed players than him more of a go.

He needs to play as much as he can this year.....sorry, IMO.
