antman said:I hate to jump out of character here but I'm finding the McBean/Vickery is better than Vickery/McBean arguments really tiresome. It's not one or the other kids. There's no reason they can't be both played in the same side.
And for the perennial Vickery baggers, he's currently the best tall forward we've got after Jack. You can jazz it up all you like with "but Griffiths crashes more packs" but until Griff actually starts kicking clutch goals Vickery will be preferred. And until McBean (a) gets picked for a senior game and (b) kicks a goal in the seniors - then all he is is potential. He's 20 years and 11 months old - he's got plenty of time.
Griffiths and McBean may surpass Vickery but until that happens or he gets traded, he'll be in the side.
McBean is and always will be better than Vickery.
How do we know that the MC isn't split down the middle on this one and Vickery only survives because his career is on the line? Things are more complex than you believe.
And before you say they can play together, Dimma has clearly shown he doesn't like that.
Fact is we're playing two talls and as second best forward McBean should be one of them.
