Vickery agrees to terms with Hawks / We get pick 26 as compo [update]

[🏅Dooks]

Whats wrong with saying we'll play hard ball if we don't like the compo. Sounds like good policy to me.

Because the Hawks will most likely walk away. They want him for nothing. O'Meara is their priorty now not Tyrone. So we match, the Hawks walk and we are stuck with him. .that isn't smart


I can't believe we'd be so stupid...














Oh wait...yes I can

Quicker Monday rolls around the better 

No point throwing stuff away for free when there is value in it still.  TV despite all the crap we have piled on him, does have some value.

Was your dirty beak out

Nothing should be free, the bastard owes us a pick, I hope we get one back for him.

Second time I have heard a comment on Monday?
Is that because of Balme? or something else I maybe missing?

Yes Balme starts at the  RFC on Monday

[Raoul Duke]

Matching the offer is smart if the compensation pick is going to be below par.
It also doesn't automatically mean the Hawks will walk away from the deal.

There's a few handy players on their list I'd gladly swap him for if they need to make some room in their salary cap.

None of them would fix in with our backwards / sideways spuds 

[big tone]

The stupid thing about this is there is worse on our list than TV.  A decent coach will turn him into a serviceable forward IMO.

[Andyy]

What or who would we trade him for?

We have no idea what the offer is from Hawks. RFC's list management will obviously know what the offer is, can likely determine what our compensation pick will be (if any) and make a decision from there. Once Vickery and Hawthorn agree to terms they will both want to get the deal done because by the time that happens you know they are both very keen on the move. I think Hawthorn will come to the table if we force a trade.

Hopefully it's a second round pick and we don't need to...

[Chuck17]

Would take a fourth round, at least there is no expectations

[dwaino]

Vickory might decline Hawthorn now if he decides he wants to go to a winning culture.

[🏅Dooks]

Pea heart. Get him OUT of the club

[camboon]

I will throw something out there.
Just a guess and not my thoughts on TV's value to the club but Richmond may be thinking!

1)He should not go to Hawthorn for little, he is a Ruckman / forward who has lost his confidence because he is the whipping boy- ruck/ forwards with 100 games who are still young are rare and valuable and they don't play their best football until they are over 25

2)If Hawthorn pay him little on a short term contract Richmond will receive little value for a previous pick 8 with 100 plus games experience
3)It would better to contract him and either trade him or improve him
4 ) Pay up Hawthorn or we keep him even if it means playing him in the reserves for the year.
WE are onto you GREAME WRIGHT

[🏅Dooks]

Except he is older than 25 (27 next year) and played more than 100 games. And he keeps getting worse and worse.

[Owl]

Maybe we should inflict him on Hawthorn for free after all
