Tyrone Vickery [merged]

[Penelope]

I hope that the reason Tyrone has been selected for this is he shows natural leadership attributes.

Seems so al going by Emma's Quayle's twitter page (she's at the AFL induction camp where Ty is speaking at) ......


Richmond has 13 players here. Yellow and black shirts everywhere.

Tyrone Vickery and Jack Ziebell are talking to the group about their first season. Ty has lost the dreds!

Vickey is a mega impressive speaker. About to start his law degree. He might even run the AFLPA one day

Well I know this guy is young as yes he has to develop and all the rest that goes with our new recruits (from last year) but..  . I really thought he would have improved a little more than he has so far from what I have read and heard.

Reports from the practice match on Friday on various forums didn't really fill me full of promise about this kid for now or the future. I also listened to the Campbell interview and when asked about Vickery he didn't seem (judging from his comments and voice) to well, get excited about the progression of Vickery.

Probably reading into this a bit too much but I had/have huge wraps for this kid and really wanted us to pick him up in the PSD when we did. I just hope in the future he becomes something, I actually rated him above Natanui after watching them compete against each other (albeit on youtube) and I felt Vickery was better and had more to offer.

But as round 1 looms Natanui is poised to grab the game by the throat, if you read the papers over here and listen to the news... .

Just putting it out there, I am not saying he won't make it or that he is no good so please don't twist my post around. I just thought he may of progressed a little further this year.

Patience is a virtue WAT.

Tyrone has played 9 games and kicked 5 goals in his debut year.
Nick Nat has only kicked 3 goals in his 10 game career (all in 1 quarter)

Brad Ottens kicked 2 goals and played 12 games in his first year.

 At 89 kgs...I think its going to take a few more pre seasons before he starts to make a serious impact.

Key position players and Ruckmen in particular are notoriously slow developers. I was like you though WA, I was hoping he would burst on the scene within his first 3 years but history/reality shows us we will have to wait until he is a similiar size to the players he is competing with. Given his lack of over size, which I have no doubt his Dad is working to develop, he is a ways off at present. His strengths at the moment are not in the ruck contests where his lack of size is shown up, but rather in his work around the ground as another midfield option and perhaps even as a tall target int he forwardline. From what I understand he will be used as our 2nd/3rd ruckman this year more than as a forward to allow his to continue to develop his future game and in addition allow our young forwards the room to do likewise.

It's hard to be patient when we have waited an eternity already for success but like our flag chances, Vickery is still a ways off.

Your doubts over his development would be the main one
How many rucks develop better than he has after 1 season? We haven't even started this one and you're already asking questions.

And here I was thinking this was a forum to pose my questions and question where players are at.... silly me... I did not say he wasn't any good and I did say I realise he is young and ra ra freaking ra. All I am saying is that I thought, get that, thought, he may have progressed a little further than he has in the pre season.

Don't get too excited Infamy... , Hell people are already talking about us getting pick 4 in this years draft and you want to have a crack at me..... please. I thought we were getting on so well on this forum too.....

By the way I do realise that the only teams in existance are the Eagles and Dorkers over here.

And yet I am willing to bet you have not actually seen any decent of stint football he has played this pre-season to make an opinion of your own!

I haven't either, so let's not get pessimistic on one or two second-hand opinions we hear on the almighty internet (I have also heard good opinions to go with the ordinary) before we see what the kid can do on gameday for a couple of weeks for a 2nd year ruckman to judge him with our own eyes.

Thats right ta I havent seen him play this year and thats why I said FROM ALL REPORTS, not being pessimistic either just asking what other people think about his progression and where he is going..
