Don't know why the hate for him.

Why do you jump to hate Red.. I simply dont rate him.  Now Rate and Hate share 3 letters arguably...but thats all.

Some of the comments on Vickery are far closer to hating than rating.

Talking about hate, I still hate the free agency compensation with a passion.  Not only does the recruiting club essentially get a free hit, but ever other club in the league gets penalised by being pushed down the draft order.  The club recruiting the player should be forced to give up a draft pick of nominal equivalence in order to square the ledger with the rest of the comp.

I could never 'hate' somebody's hair, I like people who are tonsorially adventurous

With Vickery,  reminds me of Sylvia, it's there, you just don't see it enough

IMHO Sylvia had far more talent than Ty.

Lyon, like a succession of coaches at MFC, couldn't get him to unleash it. 

Clarkson may get more of whatever Ty may have hidden away there than the others got out of Col.

Tonsorially adventurous? I rate that expression. Could you please give some examples of the characteristics of such persons?

BUMP

I read that the Hawks were 'considering his future'.

Dodged a bullet, albeit a slow moving one, there.

Vickery was every bit as bad as Mayne was for Collingwood this year.

These guys were recruited on contracts with some serious coin attached. I think both are on at least $500k a season.

Combined, they only played nine games in 2017 and booted a whopping four goals. 

When looking at these blunders, I certainly feel incredibly thankful for our recruiting staff and the superb job they've done rebuilding the club by getting these type of picks right. Guys like Hibberd (2017 All-Australian), Melksham (20+ goal second half of the season), Lewis (leadership and guidance), Vince (2015 Best & Fairest) and even someone like Daniel Cross (see Lewis) from a few years ago have been fantastic pick-ups for our club.

May be we could give him a job as business adviser to the catering dept.

Maybe we could give his " business adviser " a job at the strengthening and tattooing department too !

In fairness to the Hawks... they have been pretty good at making ordinary players look decent over the years so probably figured they'd do the same here.

Too much spud though

We have made plenty of mistakes over the years, in trading and drafting, don't think we need to laugh at a club that has won 4 flags since our last GF.

Hopefully we are limiting our mistakes now with a better group of recruiters.

    TRAINING: Monday 20th January 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
