Ty Vickery has been reassured his mystery collapse was a one-off

RICHMOND forward Ty Vickery is still unsure what caused his dramatic collapse last month in a pre-season game.

But several tests have reassured the Tigers big man that the bizarre incident was a one-off.

Vickery is set to return to the side for Thursday night’s final NAB Challenge match against Port Adelaide at Etihad Stadium.

Early in their opening pre-season game against Fremantle, Vickery attempted to mark the ball even though it was about 50m away.

The dazed player then collapsed and was helped from the field shortly after.

Vickery missed their second NAB Challenge match as he went through the tests.

“I’m good — it’s a bit of a strange event that happened, but I’ve ticked a lot of boxes since,” he said.

“I’ve gone through a lot of tests and built up training. I’ve been fine for a couple of weeks.”

He added the footage of his dazed state was disturbing.

“I was surprised — I had no idea, I thought I’d just collapsed,” he said.

“I remember waking up on the ground.

“It was obviously pretty tough to see, particularly for my family and not having those answers initially.”

Vickery said he had trained hard for the last couple of weeks and is not worried in the wake of the incident.

“We’re not quite sure and provided it doesn’t happen again, it’s probably not too big a deal, not knowing,” he said.

“If it does, it obviously is a problem.

“I did extensive testing on my brain and my heart throughout the nine days afterwards and they all came out clear.

“It’s a one-off, hopefully.”

The Monday after the game, Vickery met with the club doctor and it was made clear that he would not return to playing without the thorough series of tests.

“It was quite intimidating and then ticking them off one, two a day for a week was really tough,” he said.

Vickery also praised Fremantle opponent Alex Silvagni, who helped him in the immediate aftermath of the episode.

“I remember him actually talking to me, telling me I will be okay and trying to stop the game,” he said.

Testing time for Ty Vickery ahead of Tiger return

TYRONE Vickery underwent extensive testing of his brain and heart before being cleared to play in Thursday night's NAB Challenge match against Port Adelaide.

Vision of the Richmond big man in a disoriented state during the Tigers' first NAB Challenge match against Fremantle was cause for plenty of concern.

Despite the football being on the opposite side of the ground at the time, Vickery attempted to mark what he thought was the ball coming at him before falling to the ground.

He was helped from the field shortly afterwards.

"When I went to the club on Monday (after the game) and they outlined all the tests that I'd need to be doing before we can think about playing again, that was quite intimidating," Vickery said at the AFL Players' Association season launch.

"Ticking them off one-by-one for a week was really tough. It was very mentally draining and a worrying time, particularly for my family and friends at the club."

The 25-year-old is still not sure whether he was experiencing delayed concussion symptoms or whether the warm conditions in Mandurah were a factor in his episode.

"I thought I collapsed and then I remember waking up on the ground," Vickery said.

"It was really tough to see [the vision], particularly for my family and not having those answers initially.

"(Dockers defender) Alex Silvagni was really good in the situation. He helped me up and I remember him actually talking to me telling me that I'll be OK and he was the one who stopped the game."

I still maintain that it was his most purposeful movement for a mark since he began at the club

[Lozza]

Hopefully one of the trainers carries a baseball bat tomorrow night in case his marking efforts arent satisfactory. Maybe a few clubs to the noggin might just jolt him into action. Seriously though if Ty consistently performs then we as a team look so much better. He's the missing link but i dont think he realises how vital he is to the success of the side moving forward.

[Diocletian]

Still reckon he's far better on the ball - if only he could ruck to a decent level.

One great thing about Vicks is that he is a good set shot.
