Doesn't matter how poorly this bloke plays for another team, I'm sure we'll hear about how much better he is now from the very same people keen to see him go. It's the Richmond supporter way

Not from me. His demise is the fault of the club. The way the club has gifted these players games in past years has resulted in this. Same goes with the Edwards and bellis types

IMO you don't give up a goal kicking ruck leaving a broken griffiths and that spud Hampson  up forward to go it alone.

A new coach would not be getting rid of him. He still did kick 26 this year.

Unfortunately dimwit is still coach and that means vickery is gone and bellis will probably join the other duds in grigg and co with contract extensions

That's right.

[Yeahright]

Could not give a stuff if he goes on to win a brownlow. Simple fact is we have had 8 years of mediocrity and it does not look like getting any better while he is with us.

Imo wont get much better too big of a pea heart he always has been.

Cant wait until he goes to hawthorn plays in a grand final does a cameo with a couple of goals due to the har dwork of those up the ground and then we have it thrown in our faces what a star he has been at his new club ala Mitch Morton

No doubt they'll be the over the back goals that drives all of us crazy.

Officially offered a contract by the Hawks - HUN 

[tony_montana]

damn, hoping the blues come in too, hawks are able to get players for less wages generally bc players just want to be part of that well run club - smaller offer means less compensation for us. Comeon Blues up the ante

unless of course the offer is so low we match it

Ty Vickery offered an attractive long-term deal to leave Richmond for Hawthorn

SAM EDMUND

TY VICKERY has been offered a long-term deal to join Hawthorn.

The Hawks are keen to secure the wantaway Richmond ruck-forward and have laid out an attractive package to tempt Vickery to Waverley.

The Hawthorn offer could be for as long as three years in what looms as a significant show of faith in the polarising Tiger big man.

Vickery, 26, has played his last game for Richmond after a turbulent season that saw him dropped twice and overlooked in the final fortnight for fringe key position pair Todd Elton and Callum Moore.

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick has maintained Vickery is a required player, declaring after the Round 22 loss to St Kilda that he was “firmly in my best 25”.

“He’s a really important player to our footy club ... make no mistake,” Hardwick said.

But the Herald Sun has been told Vickery has grown fed-up with being made a scapegoat for Richmond’s problems. The restricted free agent has spent this week saying goodbye to his Richmond teammates.

Vickery has met with Hawthorn officials multiple times where they’ve told him they can make him a better player and expressed their belief that he can make them a better side.

Hawthorn, who have become masters at recruiting established rival talent in recent years, haven’t been as efficient up forward in the wake of David Hale’s retirement. Jarryd Roughead’s absence and the late-season knee injury to Jonathon Ceglar has further highlighted the need for another versatile big man.

Geelong has also expressed an interest in Vickery, aware it may need tall reinforcements with Nathan Vardy set to explore greater opportunity and Mitch Clark struggling for fitness and form.

Adelaide made contact, but it’s understood Vickery doesn’t want to move interstate.

A Vickery move to Hawthorn would bolster Richmond’s trade position if, as expected, his departure netted the Tigers a second-round pick under free agency compensation. The restricted free agent window opens on October 7.

Ex-Hawthorn list chief Gary Buckenara this month told the Herald Sun that the Hawks were a perfect new home for Vickery after eight seasons at Punt Rd.

“When he (Vickery) played at his best, he has shown he has AFL-quality; it has just been so inconsistent,” Buckenara said.

“Maybe in the Hawthorn system under ‘Clarko’ and with their development program, which has been proven over such a long period of time, it would bring the best out of Ty.”

Buckenara said Vickery would complement goal kickers Jack Gunston and James Sicily, 21.

“Ty would give them (Hawthorn) the size and structure that they will look for, particularly now with Hale retired,” Buckenara said.

Richmond champion Matthew Richardson believed “a fresh start might be good for him”, while Essendon premiership captain Tim Watson said he believed Vickery “needs somewhere new”.

LMAO

Spoiled turd has never had to earn his spot.

Kept in the side after multiple poor performances.

Rarely dropped and when he has been, a small number of half acceptable performances has seen him back in the side.

He personifies the problems of the club.

Dont let the door hit your lazy arse on the way out.

Good luck anyone taking on that sort of attitude

[Yeahright]

  Obviously let's media get to him because he sure isn't a scapegoat by the club
Unless that's why Dimma backed him in hard, to try and level it out for poor old Vickery

Professional Victim. Unprofessional Athlete.

Precious, self indulgent and narcissistic.

Just see him waiting in the goalsquare for the easy one over the top after Rioli, Breust & Puopulo tackle and harass the opposition. He will be fist pumping like a hero when he snags his 3rd in the last without breaking a sweat.

If he leaves lets not waste any compensation pick.

I sense that Vickery could be the next Schulz. In the sense that he is rubbish for us but once he goes to another club and realises how good he had it knuckles down and becomes a serviceable player. I am not saying we should keep him, but I would not be surprised if he kicks 50 goals a season for a top 4 club because the coaches actually ride him hard and he doesn't have Dad to fall back on
