Tyrone Vickery [merged]

All the best to Ty on Saturday night  .

He looked very comfortable in front of the media and camera today too. Very well spoken 

[one-eyed]

So how did we all think Ty went on debut?

[mightytiges]

Vicks wasn't influential on the game or anything and he looked nervous early on but he showed enough as the game progressed that was encouraging to see from a young tall in his first AFL game. I'd keep him in the side. Good to see the rest of boys run to Ty after he kicked his first goal.

he showed some goiod signs

Natanui showed amazing signs. this kids is gonna be a freak. in 5 yrs he will be 120kgs or more.  his body is already bigger than most seasononed campaigners and his second/third efforts were amazing and his speed and agility for his size was amazing
Gonna enjoy watching this kid play even though he is an eagle

[bushranger]

I actually thought that he played in slow motion.
Thought I can see he will only get better after the run.
Lets hope we stay with what we had last night.
So happy.

Natanui is why you tank in AFL footy as for our lad I thought he went good. Id like to see him stretch his arms out when taking a mark and not waiting for it on the chest- maybe first game nerves anyway a good start imho.

One of the most exciting players i have ever seen.........and his only played one game. He has the look, the game to be one of the biggest drawcards the game has seen.

TT i couldn't help just watching where this kid was even when our players had the ball.

[big tone]

With all due respect to Vickory, who i thought was just ok last night at best, it shows you the difference between the number two draft pick and the number eight.
I love seeing the kids run around and learning together but winning games against the Eagles, Kangas and Freeo is meaningless imo.
If we beat a side in the eight, that's great and i can handle getting the four points but beating shyt teams, getting flogged by the better sides and missing out on early draft picks and prioity picks is just dumb! 

Our two best players/kids are top two draft picks, surely that speaks for itself.

[WilliamPowell]

Not surprising I thought he showed a fair few nerves and initially sturggled with the speed of the game, which is to be expected

Thought he showed some good signs but he like a lot of young talls is going to take time

Would certaily give him a few games to settle... Long term it what it's about and there was enough there to show long term we may be on to something

Rawlings is liking the steady improvement of Vickery:

"Ty Vickery took another step forward. He hasn’t had a total break-out game yet, but he just keeps improving each week. He’s starting to show that he’s actually a very good ground-level player for his size, and that he has sound composure. His kicking skills also are good."

There was a few passages of play last week where he showed his mobility and skills. Moves and handles the ball like a player much smaller than the usual slow/akward ruck-type.

I've been impressed with his composure so far and with a little bit of size he could be another tall midfielder for us around stoppages.

Like to see him make a little more body contact at bounce downs would be my only criticism thus far. Same goes for Angus.
