Vickery's ruckwork is soft as butter. Hope this improves as he gets bigger.
He's a kid rucking against men, he shouldn't really be rucking in his first year anyway

Kruzer did so in his first year and look at him shine now.

Vickery is growing by the week as a forward/ruckman. He will be a gem im sure of it.
Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.

A couple of big guys in this draft to give us some options and some much needed class in the midfield and we will be back on track.

Postie played mostly in defence in the U18s as a tall marking rebounder but I agree he looked very comfortable playing up forward in the 2nd half yesterday. That mark over the top of the pack was as Bruce would say "special" and his leading inside forward 50 looked very good too. He was able to get clear of his direct opponent to mark in space.

vickery is improving at a better rate than I thought he would, the next 7 games will do his confidence the world of good and another pre season to add some beef, LOOK OUT :o

I linked Post in the forwardline but he was certainly lacking in confidence when had to kick for goal. He handed off 2 of the 3 shots at goal when he was in range. Probably just nerves but he needs the self belief if he is to become a true forward.

Some exciting signs again yesterday from Postie plus another speckie. The main thing he needs to work on obviously is his goalkicking on the run. A bit like Richo he seemed to think too much about it and shanked the kicks. All 3 shots were gettable. That run and 3 bounces down the wing and inside 50 for a shot on goal was fantastic (apart from the finish) from a 194cm tall :o.

Could we have found ourselves another Richo?

(Unfortunately) right down to the kicking.

He loves to fly for a mark, loves a run. I hope he can get a Richo-like engine and improve his kicking.

The difference between Richo and POst now may all come down to the coachig they recieve. Richo was allowed a lot of allowances due to his amazing offensive ability that in retrospect he probably shouldn't have recieved.

Post needs to be taught to value the defensive side of the game as much as his offensive side. He needs a development/forward coach to work with his now on set shots, confidence (using the same kicking process regardless of where you are kicking for goal) and screening, blocking, shepherding and dummy leading for other forwards.

If Postie can be taught to be a team player and learn to kick the same way where-ever he goes for goal then we will have a fantastic forward on our hands.

Confidence will be a crucial part to whether he reaches his potential just like it will be for the majority of our young list.
