RICHMOND is set to secure another of its first-round draft picks to a new deal with key ­forward Tyrone Vickery on the verge of committing to a contract ­extension.

The Tigers will be thrilled to secure Vickery, as clubs increasingly turn their attention to out-of-contract youngsters such as Taylor Adams, who joined Collingwood from Greater Western Sydney.

The Tigers will soon announce a deal of as many as three years with emerging 23-year-old Vickery, after securing Dustin Martin, Jack Riewoldt, Nick Vlastuin, Brandon Ellis and Trent Cotchin in the past year.

Vickery becomes even more important to the Tigers after No.1 ruckman Ivan Maric had ankle surgery on Monday. Vickery will have to help out in the ruck as well as aiming to improve on his 27 goals last season.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Hmmm, I remember us signing a "promising" key defender at roughly the same age a few years ago. He spent a decent chunk of that time in the 2's before being de-listed.

[Tigers of Old]

Good move. TV looks set to explode.

[dwaino]

What a coup 

[WA Tiger]

Very good move this!!

[1980 I Was There]

And look to resign for another 3 after that.
He will be an absolute asset.
  good on ya Dimma.

[the claw]

has done nothing to warrant a three yr extension. i reckon hes almost in a make or break yr and would not be doing anything till seasons end. one yr extension two at most if they must go down that path.

[Coach]

FFS Claw. He gives me the poos sometimes too but a one year extension? Really? He's our second best key forward by an absolute mile, he'd be entitled to tell us to get stuffed if we waited until the end of the season and then said "here's a one year deal champ".

[Chuck17]

Would give him five years based on potential

[WilliamPowell]

Locking him up for 3 years also takes away his ability to leave for nothing 

Seriously, actually thought he was good on Saturday, best he's played in a while TBH.

[MADTIGER2010]

Great news. Only a stuff head would have something negative to say 

[Coach]

Great news. Only a stuff head would have something negative to say 

There's no need for that. Claw is allowed to have a different view. Be a bit boring if we all had the exact same opinion.

[Dice]

There's no need for that. Claw is allowed to have a different view. Be a bit boring if we all had the exact same opinion.

 

I hear ya Coach.

Big year coming up for Ty. Needs to repay the faith now.

[Chuck17]

What do we give Ty as a pass mark this year if he's playing as a perma foward ?
50 goals minimum I'd say

Your on drugs son, if Cotch is kicking between 44 - 88 then Ty needs between 88 - 176

[YellowandBlackBlood]

OMG. I find myself agreeing with claw!
Although he shows potential to be an elite forward he is not an elite forward.  His ground play has been average. He doesn't take anywhere near enough pack marks for his height. I would've thought the next contract would have been the long one if he has a year that lives up to his potential.
The guy has been given an armchair ride with gifted games. Given the same ride I would have thought Griffiths would have been ahead of Vickery by now as I see him as the more talented of the two.
