The Ty Vickery legacy

[Tiger2709]

closer than i'd like!!

For me its further away than I'd like

 

[Sir_Loin]

Nah a good game from him was only a dream lol.

He destroyed the pies in that game and smashed cox for being a campaigner


well worth the picks

The game Dusty impregnated a Collingwood cheer squad member just by looking at her

she was already oregnant with 3 food babies

Thank you for starting a thread to honour the great man.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

remember when he had 30 possies and kicked 5 against colonwood ?

No , I recall him throwing his arms out and slouching over like a deflating tube man , whenever he led for the footy or went for a mark and didn’t get it . Also his awkward kicking style .

 

[Hydatina Physis]

Yes we need somewhere for the pigeons to crap

That's what Collingwoods HQ is for.

 

[tigs2010]

Same hahaha

Thought you were early 20's

 

[tigs2010]

I wonder who was at fault.
At certain times relationships hit a break point.
If she wants to play doubles on only fans that’s up to her but what the deuce!
Hopefully tie can take advantage of this drop shot and move on from this aged 30-love affair.

You happy with yourself?

We all have our foibles

Richmond drafted Ty Vickery with pick 8 in the 2008 draft. Vickery didn’t hit the lofty heights Tiger fans hoped for, finishing his Richmond career with the hipwoodesque stats of 158 goals from 119 games before being secured by Hawthorn as a restricted free agent.

Richmond obtained pick 29 as compensation and drafted Shai Bolton, who played 135 games for 165 goals for the Tigers, including 2 premierships.

Bolton was traded to Freo for picks 10, 11 and 18 (with 14 back to Freo). Those picks were used on Hotton, Faull and Trainor.

Not a bad return from drafting Sideshow Bob back in the day! If those three kick on to become stars we may have to build a statue of him at Punt Road.

We lost Liam Baker as part of that trade (pick 14).

Ty Vickery = Shai Bolton = Hotton + Faull + Trainor - (Liam Baker + F3)

Still amazed that people only remember the Jordan McMahon goal which resulted in drafting Dustin Martin.

Take it back to 35 seconds to go in the game and a Ty Vickery handball in the back pocket starts it all.

We do owe him a statue.

No as I said prior, we owe the pigeons a statue of Ty. He got shat on whilst playing, we can now immortalise him with pigeon crap.

Poor Ty. If only he was 5-9 unstead of 6-6. He was a good small forward - reading the play, picking up easy crumbs, avoiding contact, getting handballs over the top. Unfortunately he was 6-6 - so he was supposed to take big marks, be a target and crash packs (no, just swatting Dean Cox doesn't cut it).

Of course, if he was 5-9, he probably wouldn't have been paid what we paid him (and wouldn't have get the bonus year at the Dawks), and wouldn't have got an ex-russian tennis girlfriend, so well done him for getting at least some of the right genes for football.

Ty was great, then not, then couldn't give a stuff, then we got Shai and the Hawks got their savior, and all is good.

Watching him play was 'fun'. Early in his caeer he just needed body strength. Late in his career he just needed to try. When he did Ty was A grade. Otherwise he was just on the field.

I can see why we pciked Faull - massively good attitude apparently. Sort of the opposite to VicJesus.

 

[SouthernStripes]

He gained my respect for smashing cox, but then lost it when he carried around a cat in a backpack with a little window on it

 

[lizard man]

it’s the off season so not much happening so thought I’d let everyone take a trip down memory lane

 

[voorhees]

good old Ty
oh what high hopes that turned into low hopes and then disappointment.
Is he still travelling the world with his tennis girl?

I knew a couple players in his Vic Metro team and saw all of his U18 rep games. Tbf to our recruiters he looked like he had the potential to be an absolute superstar. Was great in the ruck and a beautiful mark and shot at goal. Was shocked he fell to us as he looked 10x the player Watts and Natanui were. He just never really pulled his finger out cos he had all the tools. Ah well his legacy lives on through his FA compensation..... the gift that keeps on giving lol

Absolutely.

When I saw him give it a red hot go he was A grade. But mostly I'd watch a game and see him walking around looking like he couldn't care. Such a waste of elite talent.

But the trade for him just keeps going, so happy times.
