Tyrone Vickery [merged]

[Mr Magic]

He said something along the lines of 'there's more to life than football' regarding Mitch Clarke.

He has a point, but the way he said it indicated that he too is personally struggling with the demands of the AFL life IMO and that he's not in it 100%.

Makes you wonder what's in his head that's for sure.

Funny how we read things differently, how we read our take into what others say

I saw that Tweet and simply took it mean the Mitch Clark situation proves there more to life than footy. Nothing more or nothing less.

 A persons health is far more important. And I totally agree, actually it's hard to argue

[Dice]

He's gonna find out about life after football sooner than he thinks unless he extracts the digit.

I think emphasising it with "So far away from" as he did speaks volumes.

And I would suggest that if something's your primary source of income - a very generous income at that, if it's not the most important thing in your life, it should at least be right up there....not "so far away" from it....and Vickey's another entitled sub-30 softy who just doesn't want to put in the hard yards.

Would be interesting to see how he'd handle the harsh realities of the real world and real work...things I suspect he's never really experienced in his life so far.

I read it like you WP - nothing more nothing less.

I'm not surprised Ty is suffering with mental issues as well due to fan expectations

Some of the fans who continually post poo about him should take note and feel ashamed

You know who you are

Fair enough but

Personally, having learnt the hard way that your primary source of income is in the overall scheme of things not that important.

Family and health are.

The importance of my career has taken a massive back seat in the last 7-8 years. I learnt that having a great income means very little when you lose (unexpectedly) people that matter the most.

[Diocletian]

Most people will deal with some kind of poo through the course of their lives, they still have to get on with it at some point and pay the bills. Earning a living is important simply because it's a necessity. Football is how Vickery currently earns his.

[yellowandback]

If he can kick 45-50 goals this year and present a few crumbs for our non existent small forwards then he's done his job.

Hmmm........ Maybe Tara should play the role of small forward.

See what I did there !?

Leave him alone.

[Diocletian]

IMO he still has something to offer as mobile ruck with the ability rove his own hit outs - he's ability in traffic is massively underrated, almost like a tall midfielder -which the modern ruck essentially needs to be. Personally though, I'd like too see us try him to the wing ala Richo 2008, he has all the attributes and he needs to get his hands on the ball.

Ive always felt this should be explored more by the coaching staff. I've liked what I see when Ty goes in the ruck, just has an awareness and rare agility when he has the ball in trafiic
