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

Like to see him develop a body first

Agreed
The expectations of some are very weird

[bushranger]

Happy to see him out on the feild.
I think he has improved his games heaps from last time.
And being a big man he will take longer to develop.
So lets all give him the chance to grow into the game.
I like him.

As mat mentioned in the Essendon game thread some fancy footwork by Vickery in the 3rd quarter which was incredible to see from a 200cm tall . He must have got carried away with having #29 on his back  .

Not complaint so far. He's showing improvement with every game he plays  .

[Tigermonk]

l'm glad they gave this lad the chance to play cause he is showing some promise

[Jackstar is back]

one thing I noticed with him today, he wasnt hitting to his feet, but trying to hit into open space to give our runners a chance.
His ruck work hasnt been good but today it improved heaps, nice game

[bojangles17]

he's a mile ahead of where I thought he'd be i am proud to say...he has great quick hands , great awareness and agility...solid mark but that will improve with better upper body strength as will his timing in the ruck contest...we've got a good player with this one

Healy on 3aw just said he reckons Vickery is protecting his reconstructed knee in ruck contests and needs someone to help him out.

Seems to contest & jump ok to me

Actually watched him in the warm ups.
Timing is out and jumps way too high.
pee the jumping bag off in the warm ups would be a start.
he actually taps okay, when he actually touches the ball

[Infamy]

He jumps early as a negating technique against his opponent
Simmonds does it because he's short, Vickery because he's a stick

[Jackstar is back]

He jumps early as a negating technique against his opponent
Simmonds does it because he's short, Vickery because he's a stick

And thats why his timing is out

[WilliamPowell]

Well at least tyrone looks at the bloody ball as opposed to Gus Graham who constantly looks at his opponent

[Mr Magic]

The Jolly Giant toyed with young TV.
One day the shoe will be on the other foot but not yet.

Ty to give a talk on his first year in the AFL to this year's new draftess


Drugs, alcohol, gambling on agenda at draftees' camp
Herald Sun January 08, 2010 4.27pm

YOUNG stars Jack Ziebell and Tyrone Vickery will pass on what they have learned in one year of AFL to this year's crop of draftees at a camp next week.

Gambling, drugs, alcohol and the pressures of life in the AFL spotlight will be on the agenda at the 2010 AFLPA induction camp.

More than 120 draftees and rookies will take part in the camp at Albert Park on Monday and Tuesday.

Kangaroo Ziebell and Tiger Vickery will speak on the topic "my first year in the AFL" while Bomber Bachar Houli, Blue Setanta O'hAilpin and Magpie Harry O'Brien will talk about cultural diversity in football.

Former Demon David Schwarz, who had a high-profile gambling problem, will conduct a forum on the issue while Steve Alessio will host a discussion entitled "alcohol and football - your choice".

The AFLPA says the camp will focus on the key themes of resilience, decision making and communication.

Saint Lenny Hayes and Demon Cameron Bruce will also be among the presenters at the event.
