I was surprised about him admiring the big Patto as a ruckman.  I think Patto is serviceable as a back up ruckman and more suited to a KPP CHF postion.

Oh well I am glad Patto has at least one fan of his ruck work anyway.

This kid sounds like is is part of the woodwork down at Punt Road and seems to owe the Tigers a bit through inspiration, facilities and support. Appears to be an ideal fit....which usually means he has no chance what-so-ever!  :'(

Hope I'm wrong. I would like to see this kid running around with his 'idols' Simmo and Patto. :)

Don't mind the look of the build of this kid either, seems to have a bit of meat on his bones which you dont usually see on young rucks and some of the current older bean poles running around.

Could be very useful in a year or two if he has a man's body and is urgently needed when Simmo retires.

Picks of the draft: Tyrone Vickery (Age)

Picks of the draft: Tyrone Vickery
Emma Quayle | November 27, 2008

FROM:
The Sandringham Dragons and Haileybury College, where Vickery has played after recovering from a season-ending knee injury in early 2007. He played for Vic Metro in this year's under- 18 national championships

THE NUMBERS:
Born 31 May, 1990, 200 centimetres, 89 kilograms.

THE LOWDOWN:
Vickery is a ruckman, and spent much of his time out injured studying the subtleties of ruck work. But he is also a strong mark, and it's easy to envisage him becoming, at 200 centimetres and with pace, a powerful centre half-forward.

RUNNING AND JUMPING:
Vickery's endurance can do with some work. But - off a knee reconstruction - he has a lot to offer athletically. His speed is a highlight - Vickery ran a 2.94-second 20-metre sprint, finishing in a hurry after running the first five metres in 1.04 seconds. His 20-metre time put him in the top 20 per cent of the kids at draft camp.

WHERE WILL HE END UP?
Port Adelaide, which holds pick No. 4, has had a good look. Even Fremantle, at No. 3, had Vickery high on its list at one point. But I think he will get through to Richmond - where his father John works as a rehab and weights coach - at pick No.8.

IRRELEVANT YET INTERESTING FACT:
Vickery was a big Brisbane Lions fan as a kid, and was once picked to be the club's mascot for a day and run out with the team. He still has a photo of himself with Michael Voss. He's switched to the Tigers since his dad has been working there.

IF HE WAS A BISCUIT HE'D BE: A Chocolate Royal.
This is not in reference to Vickery being a marshmallow in any way. But Royals have the tough base and the puffy top - a bit like Vickery with his strong body and crazy dreadlocked hair. Oh, OK, so I'm really struggling to think of a biscuit for Tyrone Vickery...
