Title: Vickery and Tigers should say good-bye: Barrett
Post by: one-eyed on September 10, 2014, 01:58:19 PM
In the video, Damien Barrett says Vickery and Richmond should part ways because Vickery couldn't get a game ahead of Griffiths once Ty's suspension was over.

Barrett said he still can't believe how Vickery and Conca got such lenient suspensions from the MRP/tribunal.

Both Barrett and Garry Lyon are tipping us to fall down the ladder next year. Barrett said the flogging in the Elimination Final shows Richmond have gone backwards and are worse now than 12 months ago.

Or being the only team in one hundred-odd years to win 9 in a row to make the finals shows that perhaps we are not that bad?

When did North last do this Parrot, you flog?

wtf? I will slap this blokes bonce repeatedly if I ever see him. what an utterly ridiculous thing to say. If we had of missed finals, then next year his angle would no doubt be be "by not making the finals and being exposed, once again the tigers have over estimnated how close they were". At least by being brutalised in the finals it may even get through our footy departments collective heads that we are further away than we may have thought.

One of griff, vickery or jack gets injured and we are faced with the same problem as geelong right now.

They'd have given a left nut to have pods out there on friday night.

Barrett is right up there with mark stevens in terms of media trolling scum.

West coast were very hard to match up on when they had kennedy/darling in fwd and cox/nicnat rotating through.

always room for all of vickery/jack/griff in our fwd line IMO

Hmm ...let's see... Vickery.... high pick in his 6th year who has massively underperformed but has attributes other clubs would likely still value...sounds like the ideal trade bait to me...
Title: Re: Vickery and Tigers should say good-bye: Barrett
Post by: tdy on September 12, 2014, 09:37:54 AM
A word of caution on trading TV. Earlier this year Chris Scott came on said why they traded the JPod. They have 4 other players that are young that they wantvto be the second tall down forward and all 4 were injured at the time.  That coould so easily happen to us if jack or griffs went down, it probably goes to our use of the rookie list as depth.

Barrett in his latest sliding doors article:

Richmond

IF ....... we felt rightly compelled by this mob to eat humble pie and admit to egg on face in last week's Sliding Doors reference...

THEN we're reverting to normal programming this week: the Tigers, when it was all said and done, wasted a year of footy with what they dished up at Adelaide Oval last Sunday.

Vickery all in all no matter what u think has been a disappointment he is know way our second option in the ruck and he is noway the answer at CHF griffo has finally come out and I remember the recruits when we picked up griffo they said he could be the next plugger lets hope so... If someone is willing to trade for vickery id be happy to listen to options but it would have to be the right fit I feel he has probably next year and that's it otherwise he will be another great top 10 draft pick RT, JOK, RL,AB were do I stop oh AF where did we get danny Meyers anoher one hahah

i still firmly believe mcbean should play in defense.
especially when one hears the complaints about the way he plays. this kid showed his best potential as a junior playing in the backline. when i see him i think he could be a big upgrade on collingwoods lachlan keefe.

as far as fwds go thers a big yr coming up for all of vickery, griffiths and elton. a bad yr from all three could concievably see all three gone if they werent contracted. thats how brittle our tall so called fwd stocks are.

Can't see it myself. After he takes out Kreuzer, he will turn into a snivelling girl and be unsighted for the rest of the night.

Yes I've seen him a couple of times and he is definitely a forward. Not even a question in my mind.
If he gets through preseason play him in a pocket and let him just do his stuff. Will surprise even DH just like Miles did when finally he got his chance.
One of the only potential shining lights on our list not getting a game yet.

Your obviously a glass half empty sort of guy claw!
based on exposed form one would have to lean heavily to the side of them not making it. its just a straight down the line honest appraisal.
so in moving fwd how should we plan the list knowing there are big question marks over these 3. do nothing and hope all 3 come good, or take out some insurance just in case.
me i think the latter scenario is a must. if they fail it sets us back another yr and means the need for tall kpfs becomes even greater than it is.
even if they make it there is a need for a tom lamb/tyler kietel  type of fwd on our list and one more kpf.

me i look at our tall stocks differently to most as far as categorising the type they are.

for me  we have the following,  ill call it category  1/ current structure.
 2 kpf, riewoldt, and elton, todd elton is spending all of his time down back so maybe i shouldnt be classifying him a fwd at all. thats just one  possibly two genuine kpf there should be 4 at differing stages of development.
3 fwd/rucks, mcbean, vickery, and griffiths. of the latter two to date neither has shown themselves to be very good fwds or ruckmen, the analogy ive used is jack of two trades master of neither.
they are very ordinary at both to date.


ive done this twice now and will do it one more time. utilising current nd nominations as examples  id like to see our tall fwd stocks look like this structurally. it gives a good idea of type and quality i think we need to chase in this area. category 2/ list structure id like to see

kpfs - riewoldt 195/95. mccartin 194/95, elton 197/100, kietel 194/86

tall/fwds -  lamb192/84, kietel 194/86. kietel could in time play kpf hence i have him in both categories for now.

ruckfwds - griffiths 200/102, mcbean 202/93, vickery 200/98,

we already have 3 ruck/fwds, im all for trading one out,  what we need is quality kpfs and third  tall fwds not these bitsers.

what is the better set up or category clearly category 2. it actually gives us a real chance of finding and actually establishing kpfs.

if we did this and similar in the backhalf plus 3 or  4 ruckmen  it would leave 24 spots to target mainly mids and the needed specialist flankers which is plenty.
it also allows us to structure up properly both in the seniors and in the twos.

Claw youd really have to wonder about Elton. Ive never sern him play so im going by these ratings

http://www.aflplayerratings.com.au/Ratings/Player/116426/Todd-ELTON

In 2014 his third year he has a lot of bad games and 8 games with the word well or good games in it. And this in the VFL, what will happen to him once he reaches the seniors.   I really wouldnt pin any hopes on him, McBean has shown more promise.  My bet is he is dropped at the end of next year unless he really improves.

he played some great footy down back in his draft yr.
what do you believe the club have said hes to be a ruckman others say hes a fwd me what ive seen of him play down back id say he can make it as a defender.

I can see why Dimma tried Dusty in the backline. You need good users in all areas.
However I do think Dusty is a natural forward/mid and is most damaging there. Doesnt mean he cant be effective across half back though.

Ideally you'd have three deledios; fws / back / mid. Deledio is good forward, yet the back line looks weak as wee without Lida or martin. The current models looks far more vvulnerable without that Luke hodge type. Big ask for vlastuin with morris is kicking it into the stands, houli is taking small steps and chappy lookijg dopey

thing is you have an opinion same as me, only time will prove us right or wrong. ive seen mcbean play down back and play damn well there. in fact hes played better there in most aspects of the game than he has as a fwd imo so why have a closed mind to the prospect.
who knows dookster he may be a true utility. as i said no harm at all trying players in different positions to find out what suits em best. its only when we  keep on playing them in a position if they struggle. in that i hop up and down.

alex rance has flaws in his game and for as long as they are there i will continue to point them out.
geez hang draw and quarter me because i basically argue we need to add to rance and allow him to play a slightly different role.

id be over the moon if we managed to find a rutten or merrett type someone like astbury actually managed to play a full yr and established himself thus freeing rance up to a third tall role.throw in a tall running type like mackie for us hopefully mcintosh, and that is actually a vision of what needs to be done to be successful.
yet at every turn all i get is poo hoo we dont need to improve those we have will get us there. ffs forgive me if im not enthused with that.

Nobody is saying we don't need to improve.

We just think it's incredulous that you still don't rate Rance, especially as a 1 VS 1 KPD as you have said numerous times, and yet he is made All Australian at CHB LOL.

Back six, sure ideally you want Grimes to improve his run and disposal. He's quick enough to play on a small/medium forward. Or McIntosh (?sp) to play that Mackie-role. Astbury and Rance the main men. Chaplin as third up, which is his best role.

Then you need to consider the likes of Newman, Morris and Houli.

IMO Newman should have retired last year and Morris should be starting full training right about now after having his shoulder surgery 4 months ago. I'd have preferred to play Dea and Helbig across HBF to see if they can make it. Give them a proper crack at it. Not 1 week as a sub, then dropped again. Look at what Geelong do. They take a potato like Blicavs and invest faith in him. Bloke improves with consistent games. Has played 45ish in 2 freaking years. Amazing what a proper crack at the big time can do to a bloke as opposed to crushing his spirit by repeatedly dropping him...

im sorry judge but revisionism just wont work.

rance ws terrible insome areas as he went along.  im happy to say i didnt think he would improve enough in those areas to become a well rounded defender in that i can say i was wrong.

i still look at him and would like to have him play in a different role. i suppose that doesnt wash down too well with most.

i as rarley on this site myself. if you want to see my thoughts on richo you would have to go over to pre.i can tell you now. on one hand i loved the bloke, on the other hated him to hell.
always thought he was athletically gifted enough to play as a hff and we go out and find a couple of good kpfs.  hated the tantrums and the abysmal finishing.
felt we would never ever develop another tall fwd while he was there, that wasnt  entirely his fault though.

athletically richo was a once in a  generation fwd just like franklin is now. richo was a superb aeralist though unlike buddy.buddy imo is the more complete player .

What  areas were those.

I seem to recall him being a junior AA, being a gun as soon as he walked in the door, and playing well showing continually improvement culminating in AA selection this year.

Bravery, determination, pace, fitness, acceleration on the lead, 1v1 defending etc. - have always been strengths

Hence he was talked up as a potential top 10 pick

now that is revisionism at its best no point even going there with such big blinkers on. did you see him at all as a junior. did you watch his first 4 or 5 yrs with us. i have to say you didnt.
