    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.

    Vickery can take a grab

    i 'll give him that..

    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.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
