TYRONE Vickery will play for Hawthorn next year following Richmond’s decision not to match the Hawks’ free agency offer.

Hawthorn offered Vickery a two-year deal on Friday.

Vickery’s departure will net the Tigers pick 26 in the national draft.

“Ty’s a terrific person, and has given our Club great service in his eight seasons at Richmond,” Richmond’s General Manager – Football Talent, Dan Richardson said.

“We accept the free agency system has provided Ty with this opportunity, and we understand his desire to seek a fresh start at a new Club to continue his football career.

“The Club wishes both Ty, and his wife, Arina all the best for the future, and they’re always welcome at Richmond.”

Vickery was drafted by the Tigers in 2008. He has played 119 games for Richmond and kicked 158 goals.

Hawthorn recruiting and list manager Graham Wright said the club was excited to have Vickery at the club.

“His ability to play both ruck and forward will be an extremely valuable asset making him a fantastic addition to our list.

“At 26 years of age Ty has plenty of football left to play and we look forward to seeing what he can produce at the Hawks.”

WTF has that got to do with my comment? Just being your usual self again.

Most likely stay how he is now in that he can do a few good things in game but will frustrate the supporters. Cant see him change that much at his age which is a shame. I watched his age group during the under 18 carnival and he was a stand out! Just doesn't want it enough IMO. See ya!

[Yeahright]

Can't wait for him to kick 5 in a game and have a few people come out of the woodwork with the told you's etc. only for him to vanish into the abyss again until he gets suspended or marks another invisible ball

“The Club wishes both Ty, and his wife, Arina all the best for the future, and they’re always welcome at Richmond.”

Laying the ground work for when he fails at Hawthorn and we bring him back

[Andyy]

Pick 26!?

He was queering if some sneaky business occurred. Clubs thought he was offered a 3 year $400K deal but just put in a 2 year $500K deal to get the compo. However it was all legit because the Hawks learn't we would match their initial deal so they changed the offer so they wouldn't have to trade.

[Yeahright]

QUESTIONS SURROUNDING THE VICKERY DEAL?

Damian Barrett on NAB AFL Trade Radio said some clubs are concerned about the Tyrone Vickery deal.
 
On Monday, the Hawks put out a press release to say Vickery had arrived on a three-year deal. Within seconds, that had been corrected to say it was a two-year deal.
 
Damo says there are murmurings about that contract from other footy clubs. He has heard some clubs believe it was a two-year, $500k deal to allow Richmond to receive a second-round compensation pick.

If the Hawks had officially put forth a three-year, $400k, RIchmond would likely have matched and forced the Hawks to trade for him.

My question is how is 2-year @ $500 going to receive a better compo than 3 year @ $400? I'd assume 3 year @ $400 would be better?

I honestly thought there was no formula and the AFL just rapes or blows off whoever they feel like.

IE pick 19 for Buddy because hawthorn is strong and pick 2 or whatever for Scully just to cup Melbourne's balls some more. Clearly contract size had SFA to do with it.
