Prediction time I think TV will be a very good player 6' 7" safe hands,only young, and if you watch closely he is extremely quick across the ground. Makes matching up difficult. Let's not listen to the knockers there is a lot to work with. Also good below the knees
you forgot versatile. He plays ruck & forward. We can only hope he'll be as good as Benny Gale.

C'mon MM,  ;)..Benny was very good for us, more so in his later years.

No doubt but I'd like to think TV could be even better.

Spida Everitt comment circa 1996-1998 at St Kilda is pretty much spot on.

If he can be better than that stay injury free and play in the GF if and when we get there and that will be more than Spida in his time at Moorabbin.

at last some common sense on this thread. anyone ever heard of jay schulz  and he managed to kick his 6 goals in the real mccoy.
 vickery kicks 5 goals having showed very little to date and its like we have a proven player on our hands. unbelievable the hype that happens with our players.

if vickery struggles again this yr,, and i reckon he will there are going to be some very disgruntled people about the place.

Who cares what those disgruntled people have to say. Vickery still should not be expected to do much this year.

So it's alright to hope he's as good as Gale but not to hope he's better?

hope is fine - the way you worded the first quote "I'd like to think he would be better"  just came across as a bit premature and unrealistic given what hes shown to date.

 Actually reminded me of a poster on BF who said the same thing about Daniel jackson(when he debuted)in response to me when I said given his size, speed, strength and mongrel he could hopefully turn into a James Clement type medium defender and a poster scoffed saying I'd like to think he would be better than james Clement.  lol 

sorry probably being a bit picky with your play on words

agreed. the expectations should be low. they should be lowered to where all we expect is some reasonable improvement mostly at coburg.

“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

That's fine tm.
We'll be able to form a better judgement on how Ty is tracking when the real stuff starts.

Ty is tracking nicely in his development so far this year. He's starting to impose himself on the game and his mobility and agility for someone his size is a real asset to the team. He probably drifted slightly out of the game in the final term but he really stood up after Jack went off playing high across the forward 50 giving a tall marking target that maintained our structure.

Thought he had a good game as well. I thought he made some nice small steps tonight as did a few of his teammates as well. :thumbsup
