okay where is vickery at.
personally i wanted him at coburg playing as a ruckman. they saw fit to primarily play him as a forward with some stints on ball.
as a forward hes kicked some goals 8 in 3 weeks and averaging 1.6 goals a game this yr. for a third yr player hes been passable and a 30 35 goal haul for the yr if he sticks to that average is nothing to be sneezed at and would be a very good return.
my concerns well hes not getting much ball. averages under 10 possesions a game. as the back up ruckman hes not great in the ruck he averages just 7 h/o a game and has little impact at stoppages. thirdly and my most significant concern hes averaging just 3 marks a game of which few would be contested. one other lesser concern is he needs to be much more physical but that will come i hope.
yep for a third yr player hes done okay but bloody hell he has a long way to go.he needs to significantly improve in critical areas for a big bloke. i still dont think hes going to be a good ruckman. i dont think he has the neccesary ticker to play there, harsh maybe, i hope he proves me wrong time will tell.
he can only improve with size and strength hopefully some of my criticisms will be rectified when he does get to ideal playing size. i will reserve judgement on him for two seasons thats how long it will take to get to ideal size and strength and he will have a decent amount of games behind him. for sure and certain atm hes showing some good signs in certain areas. his movement and ball use for a bloke his size is excellent.
personally i would like to see him played as our second permanent kpf and bring in a second ruckman as a ruckman derickx and browne as a combo.
one thing for sure three of vickery riewoldt miller post up forward makes for very good structure, we can add griffiths to those 4 when hes up and about.
