I cut the Bean and Elton a bit of slack. They see their counterparts in the seniors spud it up and continue to get selected. It would be quite deflating as a player trying to break into the senior team. Why would you bust a gut when no one notices?

Liam McBean
Five goals, 17 disposals, eight marks, two contested marks

Liam’s best game this season and we’re really pleased that he’s coming at the ball instead of waiting for the ball to come to him. His work-rate really increased this week.

http://m.richmondfc.com.au/news/2016-04-19/the-vfl-report-round-2

Liam McBean
Two goals, five disposals, three contested possessions

He’s struggling a little bit with his form, we’re really asking him to get to more contests. He started the game on fire, with two goals against the breeze which really set us up for the day, but struggled to have an impact for the rest of the day.

His fault the park footballers and recycled hacks that constitute our VFL midfield can't win the ball.....apparently up to a 200cm forward to run into the middle and win the ball himself.....21 year-old has to triple 26 year-old Vickery's work rate & defensive pressure in order to displace him....(maybe he should just phone the police as that's technically the only way you can triple zero....)

Thought you were talking about Vickery then saw the title of the thread.
So what is there to lose if we drop Vickery and give McBean a few games.Simple answer is absolutely nothing in fact there is a lot to be gained if McBean plays well at the level.
I still think this bloke should have been developed as a kpd.

After seeing McBean live several time this year and previous, he doesn't deserve the opportunity. His work rate is behind Vickery & Griffiths believe or not. In saying that, he should be afforded senior games so we can truly make an assessment on his future. He could turn out to be a player that thrives in the seniors but has mixed form in the lower level. We simply don't know.......

Richmond are equal 2nd last in the coaches 7th year

McBean deserves a chance on the amount of goals he's kicked since he was drafted

Not on his work rate this season

Post by: Francois Jackson on May 03, 2016, 11:42:07 PM
Anyone who gives Morris Grigg and Hamspud a fair run at it, should also offer McBean the same opportunities

I've seen McBean do more than those 3 have on 1 game.

I know McBean is a forward

Yet id rather him play in defence for the senior side

Than forward in a crap Vfl team


More so astbury should not be dropped when Chaplin is still being selected / rance is suspended / grimes is hurt

Disgraceful
What is disgraceful is a club aiming for top 4 with such shallow kpd stocks.Only at richmond would this happen.

Personally i dont know why McBean was automatically pencilled in as a fwd. Or why he has not been tried in defence. I will say it again it was as a kpd in his last junior year that got him recruited in the first place. With Griffiths and Vickery the exact same type of player and perform the exact roles  who are both getting games in front of him surely common sense said we at the least have a look at what he  can do down back given the shotage of kpds.The stupidity never ends.

people bang on about his lack of contested marking

seems to me to have many attributes for a key defender

if was playing behind the ball, his lack of work rate wouldnt be an issue as itd be kicked to him a lot

chaplin is a amazingly bad option

Vickery Upside is that if he performs we may get something for him
If we keep Vickery upside is 0, downside massive

McBean upside is that he is virtually unknown by our selectors, I think he is far more versatile than Vickery
If we play McBean upside huge
If we don't play him he will go at the end of this year and we will never know what he is capable of until he is picked up by Sydney/Geelong/NorthFreao etc etc

One's supposedly "lazy" at 21, the other is still lazy at 26....

One has been a benchmark kpf in his league for three years running and has at least three top clubs interested in him, the other is an also-ran, rated by no-one in his league and derided by many in football circles......

One relies on delivery from park footballers on chopped up mud heaps, the other often gets it served up on a platter by the likes of Deledio, Cotchin, Martin on bowling greens against the second or third defender...

One is expected to kick 5 goals, lay half a dozen tackles and run a half marathon for at least 3 weeks running to even be considered for selection, (pretty much confirmed by people within the club), the other can play like absolute crap and take a nap in the forward 50 for a month and still retain his spot...

One is expected to kick 5 goals, lay half a dozen tackles and run a half marathon for at least 3 weeks running to even be considered for selection, (pretty much confirmed by people within the club), the other can play like absolute crap and take a nap in the forward 50 for a month and still retain his spot...

So McBean has been told he's lazy yet he hasn't improved on it but cool, let's bring him in and be stuck with another KPF who's stuffing lazy but never gets dropped for 4 years

3 goal non-effort perfectly describes Vickery's game on Saturday Night.....which followed on from his zero goal non-effort that kept him in the side.....

Don't why people want to bring Vickery into it every time McBean's laziness is mentioned. Just because Vickery is lazy it doesn't justify McBean also being lazy.

One's supposedly "lazy" at 21, the other is still lazy at 26....

He will been very non lazy at hawthorn or Sydney

I'm sure they will thank Dimma for teachin McBean hardwork

Meanwhile we will get another year of Tyrone cracking it cause his team mate didn't kick it 70 Meters to him and Chaplin pointing frantically.

Hawthorn, Footscray, West Coast & Geelong are all interested in McBean......more than who are interested in Vickery - who's a restricted free agent.....wonder why?  :whistle

We already know what Vickery's going to serve up at AFL level and it's highly unlikely to improve. I've heard many differing views on McBean's two senior appearances, yet I haven't heard anyone say he bludged...might've looked lost early in the first match but it wasn't because he was having a smoko .... he certainly didn't hide with Dustin Fletcher on his arse in the second match...players can lift their work rate on the bigger stage with better players around them....and as someone who watched nearly all of his matches in his first three seasons, I've still seen him put more effort into games on more occasions in those three seasons than I've seen from Vickery at any level in eight seasons.

My point is, you can argue all day who's lazier but the fact you have to defend someones lazy performance by saying Vickery is just as lazy/lazier pretty much sums up why neither should get a game.

why not just give him a go? We've seen all there is to see from sideshow, give mcbean a run and lets see if hes got what it takes

I personally think the laziness has been massively exaggerated, though I haven't been able to watch any VFL so far this year, particularly for a KPF in a bottom 4 side, whose midfield is pathetic and the ball is never in his half for long periods -yet still over three years no forward in the VFL has kicked more goals than him. I've seen enough of him to tell me he has what it takes to play AFL and I think he'll be a far better player than Vickery & Griffiths (not hard I know) in fact I think he already is better than Vickery.... and considering McBean is the only other KPF currently available for senior selection who else replaces Vickery? Or should we continue to just reward Vickery by default? Could play Lennon I guess, but he's still out with concussion and Half-Step's in love with the three-tall set-up anyway.

cept we currently are mainly using a two tall forward setup.

The distinct impression I get is that some of you are prepared to overlook bad traits as long as the player in question has natural talent.

Yet funnily enough, vickery has talent but lets himself down with work rate and intensity, which means he never gets the best of himself so the talent is wasted.

Post by: tony_montana on May 31, 2016, 06:12:39 PM
No its not that - we all know Ty has a lot of natural talent

Some people simply feel there are clear double standards going on which is unfair, its simple as that.

Post by: Penelope on May 31, 2016, 06:32:53 PM
so what message does it send if you're telling a player he needs to improve his workrate and then you reward him with a senior selection despite not improving on that?

on one hand people spew on vickery because he is lazy and plays without intensity, yet scream blue murder because he isnt being replaced with a bloke, who from many accounts this season, has exactly the same issue.

we just end up with the same poo in a different bucket.

Difficult situation as we reward Tyrone too. Yet he is surrounded by better players.

Set-up was he wrong term.I meant playing three tall forwards in the side on top of the specialist ruck, though we usually have a three tall forward line when they're all on the ground at once with Hamspud.

As I said, I think McBean's bad traits are overstated. We should at least be having a look at him.

I don't think Vickery is a particularly talented or natural forward, he's real talent in my eyes is on -ball and that's when he plays his best football (see the Sydney match last year) - great in traffic for his size and demonstrates an agilty we rarely see from him up forward, like a classic see ball get ball mid who plays better when doesn't have to think or worry about his positioning or almost like Stynes minus the ruck work....unfortunately he's pee poor ruckman and it's probably not feasible to play him purely as a 200cm midfielder or even on the wing like Richo as lacks the freakish aerobic capacity that Richo had.

The only other way would to be play him in the ruck, concede the hit outs and try and shark the opposition hit outs....it's often said it's easier to rove when you know your either going to win all the hit -outs or lose them all, it's when it's 50-50 that's it's hardest.....at the very least, it would give us more agilty and "pace" around the ground with Vickery, Griffiths, Riewoldt & McBean than Vickery, Griffiths, Riewoldt & Hamspud.

We overthink Ty, I'm not sure he's that good.
It's almost like that episode of Seinfeld where Kramer is accidentally asked to a meeting and ends up "working" for the company.

probably the same message being sent to Ty? wh is it ok for him to be rewarded for 7 years? asking for 5-6 weeks is not asking too much imo

Bad habits are already instilled in Ty. I also think despite him being lazy he adds a bit of structure and although he's no where good enough of a mark for a KPF (he probably is actually - just doesn't try it enough) he at least is still a threat to take one. Not sure McBean is to be honest, and I don't think he's athleticism will let him kick as many goals in the AFL as he gets away with in the VFL
