I've got a free left hand anyone else want to chime in? Going well our Benny.

 

[DontArgue4]

So who do we want to trade Vickery for?

Good question. We need someone in the Steven Motlop mould I rekon, what are everyone's thoughts?

 

[sante]

I remember last year these same posters talking him up wanted him delisted and couldn't believe we signed him up for 2014, they probably wanted D. Garlett picked up with the extra pick we would have had

 

[Rubber Hips]

Loving the way Griffo is developing
Clean hands, great kick good below the knees and understands the game plan
Is really starting to develop mongrel...and for a bloke his size, that's scarily awesome

Keep up the great work Benny G

where's winnyblues these days?

I didn't think BG would make it. Just not aggressive enough, not enough care factor. I'm thinking I'm likely wrong. Great! Choco needs a big pat on that ample rump for his development this year. Thank god he didn't go to st Kilda (either of them).

Can see BG being a weapon if his body holds up and his confidence continues to grow. credit to him.

We'll trade Vickery plus our 1st rounder, hell, we'll chuck in our second pick as well, for an absolute gun, proven goalkicker, Toughnut enforcer like.........umm........hmmm......wha'tshis........buddy nah.... Only joking, the 'Vicar' of puntville will come back down to reality soon and start to perform as expected. There's enough room for only one of these types in the lineup. Griffenator vs the Vicar. They have season 2014 to rehearse and compete for the single role that will be paramount in our premiership year 2015. May the best man win and the other go on to greener pastures.

["The Roar Is Back"]

Not with Cameron and Patton around.

They can't kick like griffiths

 

[TheAnt]

Alright well Boyd is more accurate.

Still trying to get the taste of shit out of his mouth

 

[Kapital city TIGER]

Is that from the durries, or because Grif is coming ON

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

So who do we want to trade Vickery for?

Kruezer

 

[THE THIN MAN]

Kruezer

How will his foot injury affect his future.

Swap one underachiever for another; sounds like the Richmond way.

This suggestion smells like the Pitura trade all over again.

 

[thefendoff]

Just saw he's sitting 3rd for tackles for us this year. Pretty impressive for a big bloke

Who are the proven KP depth you are talking about? Apart from Jack most of our KPF have shown very little.
Vickery has been gifted most of his games. He has played some howlers and yet got a game the following week. Last year Griff got a solitary game in the back line (not his natural position) and got beaten. He never got another game for the year. I call that double standards and don't you worry, the players are well aware about them.

 

[nut]

Ive been calling for Griffith to be given a shot at the Forward/Ruck spot for years.... doing a great job.

 

[TJTIGER]

Still trying to get the taste of shit out of his mouth

Let me think..... Ahhhh....Nup , got nothing for him I've never had that issue. Guess he's just stuck with it...I'd like to say i feel sorry for him...Buuuuut I don't.

More proven
Shown more
Does not equal proven

It's not even debatable that Vickery is more proven than all our other KPFs outside of Jack, so just swallow that and move on. You don't just trade that away because of poor form and another bloke being a serviceable contributor for the first time in his career over a five game sample. laughable. Reactionary. Short sighted.

So many swinging from this guy's nuts at the moment, playing as what, a 2nd ruck slash 2nd or 3rd forward. Who outside of the Tigers even knows who this guy is? Has he kicked a bag? Beaten a decent ruckman? FFS, he's shown some promise and a willingness to shed the pea heart tag. Full stop. I'm a big fan but he has a long way to go.

And FWIW I dont think Griffiths has ever earned a game through his VFL form so the only double standards I'll worry about is blokes who can't kick and don't put their head over the ball getting games over those that do. Nice inside mail though lmao

Resume the tuggathon
