His second and third quarters for the vfl were very good yesterday. Seems as though he is being groomed as the primary lead up full fwd who starts in the goal square. Would make sense structurally for when he comes in to the seniors with where jack and Grif should play.
When will that happen? Hardwick wants 3 talls. vickery is about as effective as Elton even at vfl level at the moment. He still needs to adjust to the speed of the game, defensive pressure and (mainly) confidence.
Perhaps Vickert will be given another go and when he builds his confidence will be given 2-3 weeks in the seniors. In the meantime, McBean is probably being groomed for a second half of the year debut if he is ready
