Nick Vlastuin

Received a vote in coaches award. Maybe the other coach thought it was, his worst game in along time.

I'd love him and Grimes to be in the AA backline. But generally the likes of Laird, Stewart or other fair weather front runners get a gig.

Dont know if Laird has had that great of a year compared to his last 2 seasons has he? I'm happy to be schooled otherwise..

Whitfield (when not injured) and Zac Williams have had good years for Gee Whiz and been influential, then there is of course Shannon Hurn and the other stats grabber from the Swans LLoyd.

Stewart will probably one of the positions the pundits love him and the Pussies are on top so they get extra love.

Some dill will probably try and get McGrath or Saad from Druggiedon into calculations also.

Tipping that Harris Andrews and McGovern will get the key back spots with Phil Davis a smokie back there too.

Grub should get a back pocket.

I think you are both right. He played well but he did contribute directly to at least 2 of the last 3 Collingwood goals,

That explains zips opinion of his game. I'm starting to think he only remembers the last 3 minutes of anything he talks about.

Hitting some nice form is Tigga.

Started really well last night and went on with it.

Played some tough footy
 
Gave him votes. Was best of our backmen. So hard at it and so composed. Overall the backline has been working extremely well together.
 
Every time Nick Vlastuin makes a kicking error I want to congratulate him for his aggression with the ball. He is exemplary. And all class when, as usual, he spots and hits a damaging target.

Flossy rips the game open by foot. His attack on the loose in 2019 has been inspired. And when he wins it he breaks the line and uses through the guts.

His line breaking is career best and has him close to All Australian IMO. His attack is hyper aggressive. He's a Richmond player.

The big number is that he's graduated from a 16-touch to a 20-touch HBF. I think this understates his improvement. The line breaking is up. The loose winning is up. And the aggression with the ball is up.

He makes better incisions more often.

This is the bloke who went quantum in the absence of Alex Rance.

He's bold and precise. A surgeon.

Just a champion of RFC
Always believe he will perform well (rarely disappoints).
Never doubt his competitiveness.
Love his intensity and commitment to the contest.
Brave and without fear.
A modest and humble guy.
One of my absolute favourites.
