Saying that he would still get a game for us is not exactly high praise, given our KP stocks.

Watching him play for the Dawks has really opened my eyes as to what a certified potato he is.

Depends how you look at it.

We are 3-0 and he'd walk into our b22

Don't think so, I reckon the reason he left was that the writing was on the wall

Second round pick is probably above his market value. Take it and run.


As much fun as it is bagging Tyrone:

 - he's kicked more afl goals than most people in his age group,  "soft" goals are still worth six points
 - more than one club want him

Should get something better FFs - look at Stanley to Geelong who's a gimp
He's a tall forward who is handy in the ruck. There arn't many of those at AFL level.

He's not a tall forward's A-hole.

Nor a ruck's A-hole.

He plays C-grade football in both positions. Could have been B-grade in both if he tried harder.

If we get pick 25 then take it and run. I would still be satisfied with pick 37 to be honest...

How many players drafted 2008 onwards - have kicked as many goals as Vickery?

Not many.

He is a fwds a-hole

Oh I didn't realize you were pumping his tyres up when the deal was done

Sounds like Facts by that knowledgable commentator. Not tire pumping.

Disagreeing with the "Not a footballers / fwd hole" hyperbole Is a reasonable position.  In contrast with the fat Internet heros with the tantrums

I reckon he's smart enough to work out elton was rubbish, griff is always broken an there ain't much else on the list.

Was once a promising young footballer - now the Hawthorn system has ruined his career.

Greg Denham SEN this morning described Vickery as the worst player in the AFL.

And we'd be infinitely worse off bc of that. 

Even struggling for a second big man we are so much better off without this 6ft 5 witches hat

Denham wouldn't even know who Elton is....

Bit premature there

Hawks are a mess. All tyrones fault?

He'd get a game at tiger land.  Light years ahead of elton

Yeahright, Bents

I was on the I hate vickery train well before it was fashionable.

Yet Tyrone being a potato doesn't make chol, toddy, elton, Moore, any better at football.

Nor does it stop Griff getting ko'ed all the time

Denham wouldn't even know who Elton is....

Yer So it's more "worst player in the afl - that's established and I've heard of "

Yes Bents, that is correct.

BTW - weren't  you a Chol fanboy last year? Didn't you keep calling for Halfstep to play him, McBean & Moore ahead of Vickery, Griffiths & Hamspud?
