Vickery out for season / Grimes out for a month (afl site)

[Tigeritis™©®]

Vickery out might mean that they persist with Miller for the rest of the year.     

hopefully his shoulder comes good for 2013 and we will never have to see Miller play again.

Has the shoulder been giving him grief all season?


edit: just saw the thread move and noticed Grimes too. I has sads 

Edit: altered subject

It appears so.

Jack, Elton and O'Hanlon with Eddo, Nahas and Connors in support. No need for Miller IMO.

For crying out loud,i just get home from work to news that the tiger world is collapsing around us..sheesh.
Rumours have been circulating all year that Ty was having problems ,this explains his horrible season so far.As for dylan does anyone know whether he was plagued by such injuries as a junior?...Please RFC dont announce next week that Nathan is also out for the rest of the season

seems to me the thinking is 3 tall defenders but when grimes has been hurt they have gone with just two. really is time to play post for a block of games if he goes okay he stays in 3 weeks time astbury may be right to go if he post fails then bring astbury in. a like foe like replacement would be moore if ready.

  it is also  time to try something different forward. 

can try big ivan for more significant time as a forward and play graham in ruck. can bring in a ruck/for/def in derickx just giving him a game.  or we could go down the miller path and play mcguane.  any of these options has to be better than miller. we could even try post forward

Reckon this explains why Vickery has been so poo this year.

Been carrying it since preseason, pretty hard to clunk marks if you can't lift your arm over
Your head

Agree claw, good chance to give post, astbury, derickx and Moore a run

[the claw]

how bad has the management been. vickery has stunk it up since rnd 1 deplorable is a kind way of putting it.  they are now implying his form is down to his shoulder so why wait so freakin long  why persevere with someone for so long who clearly could not perform.  those in charge cant have it both ways they defend their man by throwing up injury as an excuse yet they continued to play him with said injury and badly out of form because of said injury. should have had the op after about rnd 4 and we should have got games into someone else.

i tell ya development of junior players has gone out the window. they have gone down the path of no kids instead  they have stuck to  older players all yr regardless of form.

And the depth gets worse......

....we are all becoming selection contortionists in an attempt to give Miller the 'Khyber Pass'.

The cynic in me thinks that there were 50,000 reasons to delay the decision to pull the plug on TV

Yep I reckon he did it in the NAB Challenge game against Freo. He came back on that night and was not the same player that night or since.

Agree boys time to bite the bullet on Post and give him a crack. Albeit against some mediocre performing sides and hopefully he gets some confidence and takes off from there.

Man management has been stuffing atrocious. Jack is not his usual self this yer due to having o pre season. He should have been put Ken for surgery 5-6 weeks before the season finished. Vickery it's confirmed has clearly not been right all year, yet they wait till now? Foleys injury initially wasn't managed well either.

With regards to Grimes, does anybody have details? Is it the same hammy he just came back from?

[Mr Magic]

1 step forward, 1 step back.

Tough to make the 8 from here now.

Grimes in particular is a massive loss. Devastating.
