Nick Vlastuin

[22nd Man]

Don't disagree, but Rance never belted anyone off the ball, cost a goal, the game, and him a week on the sidelines, and by extension another loss.

The big Elbow to the back of an opponents head was on the ball wasnt easy to justify.

 

[Disco]

Yep - he was poor. Fumbly again.

Dropped that mark at CHF.

 

[bairdy380]

Had great field position today… team mates kept ignoring and blasting to 2 on 1s down the line… it was infuriating

 

[Scoop]

Has really dropped off after a strong start to the year.

Nowhere near the All Australian level he was at.

 

[22nd Man]

Dans least effective game for months.

 

[tigerlove]

How bad his injury? I'm thinking out for last 2 at the very least. Grimes and Vlastuin out will hurt a bit.

Yeah any update on this? Those two out of our backline is a massive loss.

Still two games to win and these injuries to key players really hurt. We can’t take a trick this year.

Looks like Vlastiin is done. Hearing reports of broken ribs. He looked extremely ginger going down the race and I wasn't looking at his hair.

Depends. If there is a bye before finals may be ok

 

[Smoking Aces]

If it’s broken ribs it could be anywhere between 3-6 weeks.

Put him in the hydrochloric chamber for a day or two. His ribs won’t be bothering him after that.

Geez, dissolving the bloke seems a bit harsh.

 

[fastin bulbous]

It’s pretty messed up that injuring vlastuin like that is legal. Dixon Didn’t touch or really go for the ball.

We don’t want to kill the bloke.

There is a bye, but I still reckon it may be touch and go. Having that thug Dixon ram his knee into the ribs would have done damage. Maybe the MRO could look at that, instead of trying to manufacture charges on things that don’t cause damage.

 

[tigertim]

Remember when Dermie played in that inflatable vest thing when he had broken ribs.

Yeah it was a pretty unrealistic attempt if he was going for the ball, which he wasn’t.

May have even been accused of rough conduct if he was wearing a different jumper.

Dixon absolutely lined him up. Took his eyes off the ball and had a singular focus to inflict damage.

Just watched the replay - this isn't right. He was all eyes for the football, and looked down just at the second he was about to collide. He wasn't lining him up. He was going for the ball.
It's very unfortunate Vlaustin is injured, and it's possibly going to cost us dearly, but this is a part of football. It is still a contact sport after all.

Nah, just following precedent - 2020GF, Rd 1 2021 and now this. You're allowed to injure Vlastuin apparently. If he has any issues later in life I hope he sues the crap out of the AFL.
