Ty Vickery retires from AFL after nine-year career with Richmond and Hawthorn
Herald Sun
15 November 2017
HAWTHORN’S Ty Vickery has announced his retirement from footy effective immediately.
The 27-year-old, who joined Hawthorn during the 2016 free agency period, said he plans to pursue other opportunities away from football.
“It hasn’t been an easy call to make,” Vickery said in a statement.
“Football has been a huge part of my life, but I don’t have the same passion for the game that I once did.
“The break gave me a real chance to think about the future and solidified that I’m ready for the next chapter of my life.
“To have the freedom to travel and explore other opportunities away from football is something I’m really looking forward to and a big part of my decision.
“I’d like to thank Hawthorn and Richmond Football Club for all the support and opportunities over my career.
“I’ve been blessed to play at two great clubs and I’ll leave the game with a lot of close mates and great memories.”
Hawthorn football manager Jason Burt said after an open discussion, the club realised Vickery’s heart was no longer committed to football.
“Ty came to us and we had a really open discussion about his future and the best decision for him going forward,” said Burt.
“Having spent the last two years playing predominantly at a VFL level, Ty’s passion for footy isn’t as strong as it once was.
“The end of season break gave Ty an opportunity to think about where he was at and has solidified his desire to experience life away from footy. A big part of that is having more privacy and being able to spend time with his wife.
“While it’s disappointing, the club completely understands Ty’s position and is grateful for the open and honest approach he has taken over the last couple of weeks.
“We thank Ty for his contribution to Hawthorn and wish him and Arina all the best for the future.”

Hopefully the club doesn't allow itself to be overcome with nostagia for Vickery and waste an early pick on Hayes.....
-
He lost passion for the game?
Did he ever have passion for the game!!??
-
Sucked in Hawthorn :D
-
Press F to pay respect.

One of the reasons we won the flag this year .

Can anybody confirm that the Hawks paid him out?
-
Everyone who saw him play paid him out.....

He will remain on the Hawthorn list fpr 2018
His manager was on SEN while I was driving home, said theyve negotiated a settlement on final year of his contract and it will be included in the Hawks 2018 salary cap
-
Hawthorns Chris Yarren deal . Sucked in .
-
For a tall guy who was slow and spent 9 years in the system his body work and ruck work was average at best. He knew he was slow from day 1 he should worked on his body on body work from the get go. No Shane Mumford.
-
Doesn't sound like he retired to me.
-
Dimmer wants him back
-
Whatever he does in the future, I hope it goes better than his restaurant debt recovery endeavours

I believe Jake King was involved

Yep, team player. Sacrificed himself for the good of the team :lol

Got to hand it to Vickers though, never known someone to bat out of their league on so many fronts.
Smoking hot missus
Successful in hospitality industry
125 games as an AFL player
Let's just hope though that he and the missus have a few sons. With her genes in the mix, they could be anything as father son selections.
-
I'm paying him out right now. The ball seemed to just go straight through his hands, like they were air filled silk bags...

As much as I hate Hawthorn I have to say that if a player retires I don't think the club should be obligated to pay him/her. Same with us and Yarran.

Agree, it's not like you can say to your boss, 'I meant to retire at 67 years old, but i'm 63 and want to retire now, i've lost passion for my job, but I want you to keep paying me for another 4 years'

I lost my passion for waking up in the morning years ago

Interesting debate and I'd like to throw Hammer into the mix :lol
-
Is Hammer lazy or just unco? And a crap kick for goal.

May also have a big hole in his hands
