Some serious Man Love here. :thumbsu:

Think hen got better as the year went on.
Hopefully he can fix his groin issues in the off season, have a strong pre season and he will be much better next season. Another handy ruckman to help him out would also benefit him.
 
If somebody hasn't made his goal celebration into a gif, then that is a thing which needs to happen.

There should also be a federal law that states that celebration should be used in every 2014 pump up video. What a show, sure lit a fire under my arse seeing him react that way.

Love the bloke to bits.
 
Those who have the skills, please get the Video of IVVY's run and awesome..................... GOAL !!!

By far our BOG yesterday. How many packs and tackles did he storm out of? Was really hoping that goal could've turned the tide back in our favour after the crowd went wild.
 
Love Ivy too. Can't remember ever being as pumped as i was when he snagged that goal in the last. Pure guts.

Having said that, and given this is a positive thread, just posing the question, I've heard more than a few suggesting we need a taller ruckman for centre bounces, if that was to happen, where would it leave Ivy? If we really went down that line, I'm not certain you could play 2 dedicated rucks.

Personally, I'd rather think Ty can develop into this taller option and give Ivy even more of a chop out.

Heart of a lion big Ivan!

An interesting point. TV and Ivan are both the same height (200cm), and given TVs age I'm not sure he's going to realistically 'develop' to be too much taller in the next two years (not ruling it out though). If anyone on our current list has the scope for growth its definitely McBean, at age 19 he's already a smidge taller than both of them at 202cm.

Outside of our list, Billy Longer is 201cm & 20yrs old, not sure who else has been touted as a potential recruit from other clubs.
 
Love his effort and his passion, that goal and celebration was outrageous. Shame he lacks the size and athleticism of some of his direct opponents.

Yeah, was going to mention McBean, but he's so skinny atm i'd rather just let the kid have some time up forward to see how he goes before thinking we'll start proclaiming a light kid who's yet to play at AFL game as our answer at centre bounces (ruck).

My basic point is, perhaps we sacrifice some centre ball ups for the sake of better structure, particularly wrt forward structure. Just an idea before we start trying to recruit the next Nic Nat.

Noticed there's another thread about this, so perhaps I'll take it up there - as this is, and rightly should be, all about Ivvy. Huge man, huge effort!
 
Awesome goal, somehow found an extra gear to burn the defenders, and then the celebration. Wow. Read the article this week where he talked about how he was born to be a Tiger. Really believed it when I saw how passionate he was with his celebration. Amazing.

I don't reckon Ivan is actually 200cm. Seems smaller than others listed at that height, TV included.

He was giving it his all in that final quarter. On SEN this morning they were saying something about dreamteam/supercoach and he was by miles the biggest accumulator of points for the game in just one quarter. My mate who is a Blues fan couldn't believe how hard he was going at it - kept on asking "who's there to support him?" I really had no answer :(
 
Absolute disgrace that this bloke doesn't have decent support. Has a heart as big as a lion. The roar when he kicked that goal was bone shattering. Shame his team mates didn't lift after that. Vickery is not a ruckman and unless he nails a position down in the forward line and starts taking games by the scruff, then I don't know what the hell his position is.

Well done IM. :thumbsu:

How good was that goal! The crowd went crazy afer that went in.

Absolutely shameful that our ruckman was the only bloke with some serious run and effort left in the tank to try to will us over the line (Cotch gets a mini-exception).

How the team didn't find some energy left in the tank watching that inspiring play and the roar we as a crowd made to support them is simply pathetic and I hope was questioned by Hardwick to the rest of the group of why they didn't follow the example set by the great man, when the game was still up for grabs.

Love you, Ivan.
 
I honestly thought someone else kicked that goal at the time - I remember thinking must have been Vickery's third because no way could Maric have the speed, guile and agility to kick one on the run like that.

That celebration though...wow.
