Got the biggest cheer of his career last night when it was announced he had been subbed out of the game

Sums it up really

Our love our fans but that was pathetic. We are better than that. Vickery is crap, the only way to change that is for him to get confidence through the VFL and at training, he didn't need that. Thats what a poo club does, like Essendon or Melbourne.
Go Tigers!

Ty may soon find there's more to life than football. It certainly doesn't appear to be his priority atm.

The sooner Elton or McBean come on the better. He isn't a 2nd ruck anymore so we don't "need" him. Stop coasting. prick

Why we just threw in the towel with him in that role is beyond me. No patience. Put him back there and rotate him to the wing ala Richo. At he's true best he plays like a tall mid -which is what the modern ruckman essentially has to be. Don't care what he fluked three years ago when he snuck under opposition's radar as an unknown quantity - he's just a waste of time as a permanent forward......you put him there for a rest or as a shock tactic. He needs to to move with the ball  and play instinctively not stand & wait or have to think and try and read the advancing play. He's a reflex player not an anticipator.

I'd be worried that Griff will go missing if he isn't given ruck duties. Bit of a dilemma.

Yes it is unfortunately. I advocated for Griffith in the ruck for that reason as well. At this point in time I'd drop Vickery back to the twos anyway.

Walked off the ground relaxed, content and not caring.

Some of our players were hurting but this big goofball almost cracked a smile.

Got the biggest cheer of his career last night when it was announced he had been subbed out of the game

Sums it up really

Our love our fans but that was pathetic. We are better than that. Vickery is crap, the only way to change that is for him to get confidence through the VFL and at training, he didn't need that. Thats what a poo club does, like Essendon or Melbourne.

I wish they were Pope  but a good portion aren't

A big cheer wasnt enough. The cheer squad should have punched out a quick banner for him to run through on his way to the rooms.

Gonna have to be dropped if the players are ever going to get the message that they have to earn their spots every week !! Same goes for Ellis and Grigg.

Sorry Pope, though I can see your point I can't agree

Facts are people are incredibly (rightly I might annoyed) with what Tyrone has been dishing up, not just this year but the last few. They are angry and frustrated. 4 games into the season bad he's given one good performance and been missing in action for the other 3. That's been his MOU for the last 3 years, one good game and missing for the next 3-6. He is capable of a lot better

I am not sure what message he is getting from the coaches but perhaps last night's "message" from the fans maybe the real rocket he needs to actually get his act together.  :pray

I didn't cheer when he was subbed but I wont be critical of anyone who did. People pay good $$$ to go and watch this side and what they are dishing up at the moment is simply no acceptable on any level

I just hope Ty is mentally tough enough to get thru the fans hatred

Mental health is nothing to take lightly
