No one, not a single player, is a bigger Spud than Tyrone.

Might have been an AFL imposed penalty. Instead of giving up draft picks you are forced to recruit players (loose term) like Vickery.

Clarko drinking his own bath water thought he could turn him around.

Pure back up if Roughy didnt get back.

Imagine how bad our season would have been if we needed him for all 22 games...

Bit unfair. If there was any man on this earth who could turn Vickery into a reasonable footballer it's Clarko

that really sucks. Was happy with how seedsman performed though, so it may not hurt the team that much, but it sucks for smith personally.

You would think sloane for smith might be the only change to the prelim team

I think it will hurt more against a side who is stronger at the contest across half forward than GWS was. Going to miss his run and 60m kick in the prelim.

And that tells you everything you need to know.... If Clarko can't make him into something (or something that resembles something) Tyrone really is a spud of the highest order.

If Clarkson turned Vickery into a champ he should give coaching up and spend his time turning water into wine.

does anyone else think Jenkins should be dropped. 7 posessions, 1 mark , 3 turnovers and 1 joe the goose goal. surely a bloke on 500k+ per year dishing that up cant keep holding his spot. It would be ok if he crashed packs like a Dixon but he is soft for a bloke that big.
