Vickery hasn't played a game for his new club and already his legend is growing

theres nothing left to say about this dog of a footballer...vfl level at best...chol or soldo surely...at least they have potential

otherwise go lennon or bolton or stengle...small yes but they can use eachother as a prop and still launch at high balls and crumb at the same time

I wouldn't have it any other way
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

This guy is just about dead to me.

8 seasons in the system.

Has only looked interested in being out there in about 2 of his career games.

Any chance he will EVER take a contested mark despite playing on guys 3-6 cm shorter than him?

Averages just 0.65 goals per game.

Mentally fragile.

I must have missed the memo which said 0 goals, 5 kicks and 3 free kicks given away was a pass mark for a key forward, against inexperienced kids no less.

Can someone hit me up?

I not sure where you're figures are coming from? Have a look at the AfL and by the way did you notice his rucckwork
If you didn't go to the match you wouldn't have noticed that the small blokes crumbling the packs as the Carlton defenders couldn't take easy marks

Let's cut him some slack  :lol
It's not his fault he was picked up immediately before Nathan Fyfe.Obviously the comparison are taking its toll on the fellow.
And it's not his fault he's made of biscuits and crumbles at the slightest touch.  :rollin

Yep pick 19 for Fyfe pick 18 for Griff. Next National draft we need to get a key position player but I'd replace Astbury first.

Lets cut him some slack - so were 18 other players, Andrew Moore went a full 10 spots before (and also somehow made it onto our list). Fyfe desperately wanted to come to Richmond though :banghead :banghead.

Had a "purple patch" where he took a couple marks on the lead in a short time but that is literally all he provided. Those kicks ended up just being big up and unders hoping for the best

What, 8 hit outs (none to advantage) which was the lowest of any ruckman on the field. P.S his figures are the same as those listed on the AFL site. But good on him for bringing the ball to the ground because we desperately need forwards who wrestle and don't get their hands to the ball so the defenders easily punch it away :clapping
