Give the guy a break this week. The weather last night didn't suit any big man out on the ground. Some play better than others.
He stood up for his team mates when needed & that alone is good enough for me. He cops it every week out on the field the lad is ready to explode & box on. ;D
l want to see some biff & the Tigers get tuff cause we have too many out there that are pee weak when it comes to the rough stuff. Bellis & Menadue cringed last night & l don't like that crap.
Get it on Big fella l will back ya  :thumbsup

It suited Jack and Griff reasonably well. Hampson also had an above average game.

And the only 'standing up' Vickery did was in the shower after the game when he caught his breath after a hard earned 2 disposals.
Don't forget the 4 clangers! :lol

Errr no,

I was there, sitting in the artic gales at Subiaco and sorry but his lack of intesity, effort to do the most basic of things was unacceptable

Other talls at least made the effort to get to contests,  put pressure on their opponents and work hard. He didn't

So the only break he gets this week is a break (extended) in the VFL

MRP statement

The match day report laid against Richmond’s Ty Vickery for striking Fremantle’s Nick Suban during the third quarter was assessed. It was the view of the panel the force used was below that required for a report. No further action was taken.


Dawson got off as well ...

The match day report laid against Fremantle’s Zac Dawson for engaging in rough conduct against Richmond’s Steven Morris during the third quarter was assessed. The panel said Dawson was running towards the contest in a bid to mark the ball. Morris was running back with the flight of the ball and got to the contest first to complete the mark. Dawson had his left hand open and made contact across the front of Morris with his bicep / upper arm area. It was the view of the panel there was insufficient high contact made to constitute a reportable offence. No further action was taken.

I am actually starting to hate the bloke.

I actually felt like that a couple weeks ago which leads me to this little anecdote.

I went to the VFL game v Port Melbourne a few weeks back. Many of the younger guys on the list who were either injured or played the night before v Hawthorn were there including Ty.

There was one particular Richmond fan who was pretty belligerent and spent much of the game abusing our own players. At the end of the game Ty was standing right next to me waiting for the boys to go down the race and into the changerooms. The aforementioned fan noticed Ty and came closer till she was about 5 meters away kept saying things - clearly to antagonise and draw a reaction. Ty was standing next to a pole not even half as thick as he yet tried to move around the other side as if "hiding" would prevent the woman from seeing him. He clearly understood he was in a position where anything he did in response would reflect poorly on himself and the club.

In this moment he wasn't the Ty that i spend games screaming at the TV over, he was just a young emotionally vulnerable man clearly uncomfortable having to stand there and cop abuse from some idiot when he just wanted to go and cheer on his mates on a Saturday afternoon. I immediately felt bad for him and it was a real eye opener that put things in perspective for me.

Since this day I'm unable to muster the same vitriolic response to Ty's performance on the field.

Excellent post!   :clapping   No matter what we make them up to be in our minds, footballers are just humans too! 
I lived across the road from a player from the 60's - 70's when I was a young kid.  Seeing him running after his newspaper as it blew away down the street while wearing a frumpy old dressing gown & slippers rather shattered my ideals of him being some sort of super human!     :lol

How fans can hate a footballer or a coach simply because they don't live up to their expectations is beyond me. At least meet them, get to know them, and then make up your mind.
