    I applaud your bravery in starting this thread Dazzle.

    FWIW, as a free agent, if the price was reasonable, I would sign Vickery. He would instantly be our best option as a part time ruck, part time forward.  As maligned as he is (and often deservedly so) his best football is very, very good.  Maybe a new environment would bring that out of him in a consistent fashion.

    We sacrifice nothing in free agency other than some money; if the price is right, I say get him.

    Perhaps people should go over to The Punt Road End to see why they are willing to give TV away:

    some quotes:

    "I'm still trying to work out why anyone would want to sign him."

    "I have been thinking similarly, Jinx.
    Can't fathom why any other club would contemplate signing him given his under-performing career at RFC.
    Vickery is a depth player at best ... and even that's questionable, in my opinion."

    "When he plays well he's pretty damn good.  It's just too infrequent.     Even this year when he's played crap he's still kicked more goals than Griffins".
    "True, but then Ty doesn't stray more than 25m from goals."
    "For me it would be enough just to see him *smile* up someone else's forward structure "
    As others both here and on the PRE site have noted....he will not ruck and he refuses to lead and run as a forward......

    The arguments against Tyrone aren't dissimilar to Watts until 12 months ago. Has the tools, is inconsistent in application and is a confidence player who has shown moments when you think the penny has dropped.  Is exactly the type of player we need and would not cost in trade as Free Agent. Under free agent I would be well open to it and back our development in.

    One of the most unlikable players in the AFL.  But for a 3rd rounder Ill take him and say thanks to Richmond for giving him the 100 games he needed to get comfortable at AFL level being a 200cm KPF/ruck.

    Three-way swap whereby we get a 2nd hand set of golf clubs could be the go!

    He could probably teach Bernie a thing or two about getting decent purchase on a strike to the head

    I'm pretty sure he is a free agent?

    Maybe we could win him in a vickery auction?

    Has the tools as in what Watts has? Not even close.

    Not the same tools but has the right technical attributes to be a quality player. Has kicked 3 goals on 4 occasions this year which underlines he has ability. Is an excellent set shot kick and moves extremely well for a 200 cm player. Its all in his head and as a free agent would be worth the risk/reward for a position we clearly don't have covered.

    The problem with Vickery, like Dawes, is that he has no inclination to be a 2nd ruckman, so he doesn't address a need.

    Vickerys a free agent but I would still do that deal - they can have Grimes too

    Neither did Tippett from memory.

    The market for him might be stronger than people expect and the tigers can force a trade if the compensation isn't good enough.

    All up that could mean paying a lot for a C grader who might give us a few years before the game moves past him.

    I'd rather get a D grader (ie. Dawes, Pedersen or a delisted player) and go in a bit short at one position until fixing it properly with a quality player either via trade or draft.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
