Richmond

Tyrone Vickery
Vickery didn't play after round 11 last year because of a shoulder injury and needs to rediscover his form of 2011 to have the graph heading back in the right direction. With increased competition from forward Todd Elton, who showed promise against the Indigenous All Stars in Alice Springs with a handful of nice marks, plus the presence of rookie ruckman Orren Stephenson, Vickery will be determined to remind the football world why he was a top-10 draft selection in 2008. He is expected to play in the NAB Cup after a strong pre-season.

Vickery??! Vickery's spot is not at risk. Until his form is an issue rather than his health, he is crucial to our team structure. We don't have another player who can cover him effectively in his role as CHF/2nd Ruck.

WTF is a key to our structure, has plenty more years considering how long we gave clean knees Hughes and lazy Jay.

You'll have to do better than that.

Well I have to spread rep. You'll have to settle for a PM with a duncan donuts flavour thrown in

Is that question for me Chuck or are you just having a joke with Coach? By 'key to our structure' I'm referring to his position on the field. In 2011 he was a genuine forward option and kicked 30+ goals while also giving our ruckman an opportunity to rest. I expect Vickery, with added size and experience plus an injury free preseason, to fulfill both elements of his role significantly better this year too.  :cheers

I don't see TV who is still only 22 being on a knife's edge. Sure we're hoping he has a good year after a disappointing 2012 due to injury and that his shoulders are right now but I don't see him being given the flick/traded at the end of the year. Apart from the obvious (McGuane, White & co.), the likes of Nahas, Jacko and even Kingy would be more on the edge.

I think the Coach is on a knife edge, precariously placed on the Port/Tiger knife edges.
It's that simple Spud
"I discussed (it) with my three daughters, my wife and my 82-year-old mum, because it has really affected me … If those comments … were made about one of my daughters, it would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would not have liked it at all.”

Disagree.  I think you must qualify things first.  If we don't make the finals and have had a dream run with injuries then he probably should go.  If, however, we lose several key players and we are just pipped for a finals spot, he stays!
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."
