Watts and Vickery took a while to blossom, but they're both looking like they could be the best from the draft.

Vickery is exactly the type of ruckman we should be targeting.

Quick for his size, great overhead, love his development

Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.

Did Vickery do any centre square work at all today? Didn't even seem to ruck up forward much.

Injured?

Nah, Natanui just isn't a footballer. Dangerous though because of his athleticism.

Vickery cops a reprimand from the MRP
« Reply #230 on: August 16, 2011, 03:25:09 AM »
Tyrone Vickery, Richmond, has been charged with a level one engaging in rough conduct offence against Craig Bird, Sydney Swans, during the fourth quarter of the Round 21 match between Richmond and the Sydney Swans, played at the MCG on Sunday August 14, 2011.
 
In summary, he can accept a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record with an early plea.
 
Based on the video evidence available and a medical report from the Sydney Swans, the incident was assessed as reckless conduct (two points), low impact (one point) and body contact (one point). This is a total of four activation points, resulting in a classification of a level one offence, drawing 125 demerit points and a one-match sanction. He has no existing good or bad record. An early plea reduces the penalty by 25 per cent to a reprimand and 93.75 points towards his future record.

What the?

I would think not having any "record" was actually GOOD  ::) :P

agree WP, that's just queer

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.

So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Pretty sure they define having a record as having played for 5 seasons.

Vickery to play on after close call

RICHMOND key forward Tyrone Vickery doesn't believe he needs to modify his playing style after narrowly avoiding suspension.

Vickery will have 93.75 demerit points hanging over him for the next 12 months after escaping with a reprimand from a rough conduct charge.

The tall forward accepted the reprimand for an off-the-ball bump on Sydney's Craig Bird to be available for Sunday's twilight game against Melbourne at the MCG.

"I'll take the reprimand and I'm really happy to still be playing and get out and try and back it up with another win. I wasn't willing to risk that (by challenging)," Vickery said.

"That's the first time I've been cited, so I don't need to change anything, I don't think. Just keep going about it and trying to play my role.

"All the guys know the rules. You're allowed to bump within 5m of the ball and, if not, I suppose you're running at your own peril."

On whether the Tiger forward realised he had committed a reportable offence, he said: "No, I didn't think anything of it. I just kept playing and I was focusing on where the ball was. I didn't notice he (Bird) went down or anything."

Geelong forward Cameron Mooney will miss the last home game against the Swans on Saturday week after accepting a one-game penalty for a front-on bump to Adelaide's Graham Johncock.

Vickery said the Tigers were buoyed by the win against the Swans to try to finish off the season strongly, the next task to turn around a loss to Melbourne in Round 14.

"Obviously, it has been really frustrating riding a rollercoaster, probably losing to teams where we went in favourites. That's the consistency we're trying to develop, to consistently put together a good performance against better sides," he said.

"They're playing for a finals berth, so they're got a lot to play for. And we want to win every game we play for the rest of the year.

"It sets yourself up for a good pre-season and also trying to find the right balance and who's going to take the club forward.

"I think our ball movement hurt us last time, particularly from the back 50. It broke down a lot and we turned the ball over. We need to get the right options and just take bit more care with our skills."

Vickery realising potential (RFC)

TV says he prefers to play up forward.....


Vickery realising potential
By Adam McNicol
Wed 17 Aug, 2011


TY VICKERY was very much a work in progress during his first two seasons.

This year, however, Vickery has emerged as a key pillar in the Tigers' developing forward line.

Vickery currently has 31 goals to his name, which puts him second at Tigerland behind Riewoldt, who has kicked 56.

....

"I do enjoy going into the ruck and spending time there as it’s a good break from having a defender sitting on you all day," he said.

"But I think I'm developing into a key forward and that's where I'd like to stay."

TV up to 35 goals for the year as our 2nd banana up forward. It certainly has been a breakout year and, along with Rance, he is probably vying for our most improved player this season.

Been a huge improver this year. Good kick for goal and competitive in the ruck and general play.
Just need Griff to get some games and consistency and our forward line will be all the better.
