RICHMOND has not matched Hawthorn’s two-year offer to Tyrone Vickery, with the Tigers set to receive more than adequate compensation.

Vickery has accepted a two-year offer worth around $1 million - higher than expected - with the Tigers receiving a second-round draft pick (currently no. 26) for the ruck/forward.

The Tigers had threatened to match the Hawthorn offer if it did not bring a satisfactory draft pick.

But Hawthorn’s offer has turned out to be significant, clearing the way for Richmond to proceed without forcing Hawthorn into a trade.

Vickery is a restricted free agent which means he has been paid in the top 25 per cent at Richmond even though he fell out of favour with the selectors during 2016.

He would have been paid an estimated $400,000 per year at Richmond but his dip in form might have resulted in him being offered less money.

While the Hawks have paid heavily for Vickery in dollar terms, securing him without a trade means they can pursue their main objectives of Jaeger O’Meara and Sydney’s Tom Mitchell.

The Hawks see Vickery as a replacement for forward ruck David Hale who retired at the end of 2015 and hasn’t been replaced in their structure.

Vickery, 26, has played 119 games for 158 goals after he was drafted at picked no. 8 in the 2008 draft.
