Yeah but no but yeah
I don't know what to think about Vickery. I thought he was having a good patch just before his suspension. I'm a bit wary about the king hit thing too.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: The Rumour Mill
I love the fact we're (rumored) offering big deals to a KPP. Really in need.
Can someone tell me how to pronounce Jaksch?
Jakshh? Jacks? Jash?

Vickery isn't out there saying he wants/needs a fresh start. I'm suggesting he might benefit from it.
Being a top 10 draft pick has placed huge expectation on him at Richmond, in a forward line that has been pretty unstable, and the expectations haven't been aligned with how long 200cm forwards generally take to handle the game at AFL level.

Just don't know if a change of scenery is going to change his attitude.
Just because you're a top draft pick doesn't hide major defincies, and you just have to look at Watts.

Re: The Rumour Mill
In regards to Vickery, heard he was training like a man possessed after his suspension, couldn't crack back into the team as Griffiths was playing so well. He seemed to take the suspension well, I wouldn't be against having a look at him.

I'd be happy to hear it if we were at least discussing it.
I also know that won't be popular with some on here who don't rate him. That's fine. But I could see him as being effective as the second ruck, who could take a contested mark and hopefully contribute 30 goals in a fwd line with Stringer and Crameri.
Vickery could be worth a chat to. I wouldn't be prepared to give too much for him but he could add a bit to our structure especially if Jones is considering another club. I don't quite see Campbell as a forward who has 5 minutes bursts in the ruck each quarter but Vickery might be able to fill that role.
I'm not convinced if he is the right fit for us but like you I wouldn't be upset if we did meet with him.

I'm completely comfortable with a 5 year offer for a guy that age and I agree with what you've said here Greystache.

Re: The Rumour Mill
The only player on Richmond list that I would want at our club is Alex Rance and he is going nowhere, so can we please install an auto filter to remove any references to Richmond or any of their players being involved in trade discussions.
