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. 

[Ethan Tremblay 30,822]

I neither rate him nor hate him.

26 for the Vicker.

Remind me what we got for Silvia again?

We essentially got Bernie Vince for Silvia, so huge win for us.  Not sure if the Tigers can pull off an equivalent coup.

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,798]

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.

Yes, but it's befitting of his character.

He looks like a buffoon and he acts like one too.

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?

[monoccular 17,413]

BUMP

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

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

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

[Demon Jack 6,858]

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.

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

[JTR 2,846]

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

Or Tyrone and Jake could be put in charge of contracts

[DSP 1,488]

Simple fact he is a liabilty when kicking for goal.

No thanks.

[Redleg 40,815]

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.
