Nick Vlastuin

199 games to the Viking. 200 for the Dreamtime. Let’s celebrate this occasion within the occasion of our most special home and away match.
Played well and was solid. Best wishes for next game and beyond, you deserve it.

Don't forget Rossy's 50th, gotta celebrate the little milestones as well as the big ones. Big night for the Tiger boys, hope they all get to enjoy a win to celebrate.
Yep. They're all building up now. Vloss 200, Bolts 100 and Ross 50. More to come this season.

If Vlastuin finds himself clear with the ball and kicks it straight to an unmarked opponent for a simple goal, I don't care. He does something flaky once a game.

He has been a it below his best to date 2023. Sometimes near it other well below. He will have a niggle. I don't know what. I'm not thinking concussion residue atm. Groin. Calf. Something manageable. He's not kicking the jacket off it so maybe groin. A niggle. He has to play through that.

I think he's still learning our new formations. He's the one getting lost at times. And I think he's missed Broad. Vlastuin plays near the front of the formation. (A high wear role.) He needs cover from behind. Cover Tylar Young can't provide at the stage.

I think we're about to settle our backline. I'm not sure Young will be in it. We'll see. When we do settle Vlastuin will improve and maybe that niggle will too.

Drofder has rightly reminded us of the status of Nick Vlastuin. Vlastuin himself may do that soon.

Superstar.

I really loved his quote

'forwards get memberships, Mids get sponsorships, Backs get premierships'

Vlastuin's form this year has not been as bad as has been made out, the backs have been doing their job. It's great to see him at his peak again, long may it continue.

Happy 200th Nick.

Warrior. Tough in any era. Hard man of any era.

Not many you can say that about in 2023.

I was into him early doors this year but he has rebounded strong the last 3 weeks.
Been so reliable for a long time now.
