And a lamentable history of making bad bets.

Although Vickery is a free agent, it is a no for me. Rationale:

I understand he is not a traditional second ruck/forward, but I think we already have the best player for Vickery's position in the AFL in Jack Watts. Watts has averaged 17.9 disposals, 7.0 marks, 1.7 goals, 3.2 hit outs and 93.8 Supercoach points since round 9 (when Pedersen was out of the team). While Watts is often beaten in the hit outs, he is very good at wining the clearances when the ball hits the deck and offers a more mobile option around the ground.

Pedersen is far better both as a forward and as a back up ruck.

Watts  is far better both as a forward and as a back up ruck.

Dawes  is almost better  as a forward though not  as a back up ruck.

Hulett  could well become better both as a forward and as a back up ruck.

So what would be his rôle?

NO

Oh shut up Daisy, we don't all lead the exciting life that you do and this is entertaining for some of us, who have more ordinary mundane lives.

huh? i've shut up since 1/8/2016, 11 days ago and now you tell me to shut up. i know the legal profession is always behind the times but sheesh :huh:

Does he improve our list? Probably not. Pedo is our KPF depth.

Are we better off giving a shot to a young draftee or state league player? Probably yes. 

Pass.

Interesting to see Vickery has been omitted this week. Keeping him in cotton wool for a trade?

Yep, they dont want to jeopardise that late 4th rounder they are chasing.

Smart move.

They might need that 4th rounder to get Cloke. All part of their 2017 premiership plan

If Vickery came cheap then why not. We have no back up if Gawn goes down

Perhaps we can engineer a 3 way trade with Collingwood and Richmond where we end up with Vykery and Jesse White. They will provide enormous comedy value and we could offer Terlich and a late pick.

Vickery is a Restricted Free Agent.  ie no trade required - he comes free!

Richmond know he has a good deal on the table so they have put him on ice to protect their FA compensation pick from the AFL. 

I wouldn't be surprised if they got an early 2nd rnd pick from the AFL.  Given they don't have a 2nd rnd pick it will come in very handy.

Even for free, I wouldn't take him.  He might be handy right now but don't see a permanent role in our team.

And with Vickery, we'll still have no back up for Gawn if he goes down.

A thousand times no. I'd rather have Declan Keilty.

Agree About Keilty

Any club taking Vickery would have to have a clause making him shave his head 

Worst Hair Cut in AFL history

Then maybe we are looking at him. He's by no means the complete hack many on here believe he is

I'd certainly take Vickery over Daw but yes he would have to get a haircut

Bit over an overstatement considering it's only the third worst at their club. (Hello Ivan and Dusty)

Tigers suggesting Vickery has done a deal with another club. He will finish his season in the VFL.

Wonder who? Not us, surely. 

 

Would he appeal to essendon? They need help for daniher

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
