McBean led up in Nab1 playing on the best full back in the league. And got in front.
Vickery couldnt/didnt when it counted, and spilled chest marks on the odd occasion he was in front.
Would we be better off playing McBean if its a matter of getting a proper chance at a contest? Would we be better off developing a lead up forward in McBean by giving him senior game time? At least hed be better below the knees than Vickery. .....
-
No.
-
He's still not ready. Just needs more size. Give him more time int eh VFL and don't destroy his confidence by throwing him to the AFL wolves imo
-
No.
x2

x3 . surely if we are talking about any tall to take vickerys spot it has to be elton. hes in yr 3 hes a great size already at 197cm and 100kg. the one thing ive always liked about this kid is his marking.
the concern though is his maturity and his for want of a better way of saying mindset he is still timid by all reports.
what is scary is the simple fact that mcbean and elton are the only two options on the list to replace vickery or riewoldt and mcbean is being touted as a future ruckman by the club which only further exacerbates the problem..
as far as development goes we should not even be contemplating these two as kpfs. maybe come in and play a third tall role here and there to gain some experience.
-
Not ready yet
-
Give Ben Elton a go

Give Ben Elton a go
he has had a decent preseason and kicked two on the weekend.
-
Not yet.......
-
Consensus
-
No
-
Must show he has his manoeuvrability back in the twos.
Elton John should be the one elevated to replace Ty.
-
Elton should get a chance first

Elton should get a chance first
Yep

Or maybe Vickery could get another game before we nail him to the cross. :shh

:nope :nope :nope
"Could" ... no just insert the word WILL get another game because that's what will happen.
Hasn't been dropped for poor performances in 4 seasons, it isn't going to start now ;D
-
I want to see Elton and Darrou this year
-
Vickery, persevere,
Elton before McBean
maybe when the season is progressing and we see how we are sitting McBean against a softer side as a sub??
-
Doesn't get much softer than GCS's last backline setup. Two débutantes...

yep we can do what we always do, persevere with mediocrity and reward that mediocrity with more games.
ffs its the start of the yr i would have thought they all start on an even footing. but it seems not.
seems to me its enough to play like a flanker rather than a kpp. what exactly is it we expect from players in various positions. what should we expect from vickery what is it you want to see kpfs doing. i can tell you now vickery does little of what i want from one of my kpfs. if i want a fwd/flanker id be giving someone like knights or lloyd a game or see what ohanlon has to offer or just play martin fwd.
how often do we have to put up with the soft spinless dumb performances from this 200cm streak of misery. for me 76 games is probably 40 games too many..
-
If he does get named, his performance will be arguably the most watched and scrutinised of a Richmond player in a long time.
If he backs it up with a similar stinker, and we lose, gee whiz theres going to be some angry fans
-

Yes he at least deserves a 77th chance....
-
Yes I think he could do worse.
-
Vickery is our leading goalkicker for 2014 so how can you drop him ? ;D
-
:lol :clapping
= 6th in the Coleman
-
Still on track for his projected output - can't ask for much more than that....

This thread is why Dooks gets banned from forums.

Could Elton / darrou do worse than Chaplin
-

No. It's not possible to do worse.
-
McBean or Elton should be given a chance now. Vickery is offering us nothing. Mcbean is a good crumber too.
-
yeah agree think Elton gets first crack..has been showing a bit lately.
Mcbean for all his natural ability worries me with his lack of aerial power
-
Anyone could try and be worse than Sickery.
It's a tall order and a challenge but if they give it a crack rest assured they are at the right club. :help
-
Beginning to think that some of the statues on the isle of man could do better than some of the spuds representing the club
-
how about elton fwd and the beaner third tall in defense.
people do realise the bean can play down back. with astbury gone he is a possible solution.
-
Forward Elton bean griff
Jack chb
-
With astbury out, I reckon Elton comes in
-
Has been a better option than Vickery since about halfway through last year.

Was at the ressies yesterday. Elton showed a bit down back. McBean is miles off it at VFL level atm. I'd go Elton for Astbury, Grimes for Chaplin. Get rid of Vickery for another mid rotation. Or just play a man down.
-
The statue of liability is, in Damien's mind, a big part of his theory.
I use theory In place of game plan,as that's what it is in his case.
-
Saying McBean is miles off it? If you compared him to young Daniher at Ess could he be rawer of skinnier? They are persevering with Daniher, giving him confidence and it is starting to pay off. IMOHHHHHO we should be doing the same with McBean and give him a go.

Go read the bummer forums and how they bag the poor young kid, it's disgraceful and we would do the same if we played McBean

I like the idea of playing a man down
Might benefit us
That's how bad Vickery is

At least the others would know not to rely on him and may try a bit harder to cover the vacant spot

Yes that is very sad. The thing is you get games into kids give them confidence and soon they MAY blossom. Playing players 1 in 1 out week after week is shocking for their confidence and self belief.
If we have the confidence to draft them, then have the confidence to play them. Last year McBean would have played senior footy if he didn't injure his ankle. What has changed.?
-
Did Vickery sustain a metacarpal fracture during the game on Saturday? May help explain some of his inept marking attempts.
-
At 2 & 6 we have nothing to lose. I mean Nothing to lose!!!

apparently so, going by Doc Larkins report on Fox Footy last night

Next question. Why wasn't he the one subbed out through injury?

Because even with a broken hand he had more chance of marking the ball than Hampson?

I actually want to punch vickery

Vickery should be shopped at the end of the year.

Vickery should've been shopped at the end of 2011 when it was already obvious that he was a spud and he had currency and "potential".
