Tyrone Vickery [merged]

[Yeahright]

Worked at Kardinia Park during the week, as good a club as Geelong are, not a great idea to have visitors wait in the board room with 2014 Trade Week notes on the whiteboard.

Have seriously good mail that Geelong will be coming hard for 1 of 3 players to fill a ruck/Fwd role.

Did you write the info down while you were there and then post it to yourself so you can come on here and write that you have mail?

No doubt they will because they are a class act. Clubs will circle our players after the white schulz fiasco

[Judge Roughneck]

Several so called Richmond duds I believe will come good at decent clubs: your Vickery Griffith helbig types

Yep.

they will get a hold of the tape and hear our coach say we are not going to bring in any reserves players if they arent performing, then proceed to watch a tape of Thomas, Grigg, Hampson and Chaplin.

After watching this tape and audio they will go yep lets go after Griff, Arnot and anyone else who cant break into that mentally strong 22

and watch em get burned in the main. all clubs have let good players go we have in all likelyhood let less go than most clubs.  if you dont pick good players to start with its damn hard to then say we let good players go.

fair dinkum if a club can turn vickery around good luck to em and id say well done.  pea herats dont make it as ruckmen sometimes they can survive in the fwd line.

griffiths over 4 yrs would have to be one of the worst performed players to ever be recruited. and im not just talking performances at afl level. cant get a kick in the twos either.
people do realise this is yr 5 and yes i acknowledge hes suffered from injury but ffs what he dishes up is at his stage is unacceptable. 1st yr talls give more.

Helbig is crap.

what was the fiasco with White?

White left after we wouldn't offer him an extension and/or extra money because he didnt show enough wearing the sub vest all the time, unlike the rest of the team who perform admirably on a weekly basis

We then didn't replace our fastest player on our list, but instead recruited Thomas from the same place we let white walk to.

[Penelope]

so you're saying not offering White a three contract was a fiasco?

[Francois Jackson]

so you're saying not offering White a three contract was a fiasco?

100% that's exactly what i am saying. Hampson, Knights all were offered 3 year deals and how are they travelling

Besides, your saying he wouldn't have accepted 2??

he loved the club from what others have said and I believe he would have.

[Penelope]

this is the same Mat White you said was a complete dud and shouldn't play a game in 2013?

Probably had a bad day, it happens. Club should have known better and yet another mistake to go with the many have made in the last 3 years

[one-eyed]

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick has called for Ty Vickery to prove his consistency when the Tigers come up against Port Adelaide. Hardwick praised Vickery for his work rate, but believes the big man can still contribute more defensively.

[Yeahright]

White is playing the same he played for Richmond in 2012 and 2013 but people refused to acknowledge he was a decent role player and called for his head every week but now he is at Port he is suddenly a superstar

lol
whatever they did with white would have drawn criticism.
let him go and it was a fiasco letting go such an important player.
give him the three years and it would have been another case of rewarding mediocrity by keeping under performing duds.

the lengths some will go to to criticise.........
