Nick Vlastuin

[BrisTiger24]

Scratchy game tonight. Needs to improve on that

 

[H tiger]

Didn't get any air against lowly Carlton last night. Played meek IMO.

Still has a few weeks to emerge as an adult.

At least he kicked a big boy goal.

I'd like to see him throw his weight around more.

Sure was. his disposal can be pretty ropey.

IMO his disposal is normally very good. rarely wastes a position and is cool in a crisis. Wasn't his best game last night defensively but still had some good moments.

I have a feeling this is as good as Nick will get just a good average player.

 

[St Kevin]

Needs to do more, but the goal was pleasing. Regressed a tad from his NAB form, where he was just about our best player.

Better than that now and will be better again.

Nah he's played plenty of better games already than last night.

He will be asolid contributor for a long time. But don't think he will rise above solid

True if they play him down back forever. An extended run on the ball would tell us more.

Rubbish. Watch the work he does down back. You don't have to be elite by having to play midfield only.

Exactly , impacts much more contests then his stats tell

 

[Quickdraw]

I prefer Vlas down back. Yes, he might make a midfielder but he's so solid down back I wouldn't want to take him away from there. Brave, strong overhead, good support to Rance.

Our back 6 is solid (we can debate Chaplin/Astbury). Leave the defence alone. Work on the Ruck, mids and forwards.

 

[tigerlove]

Tend to agree. Team is about balance. Engine aside, I don't think Vlastuin would have too much trouble amassing possessions in the midfield as a pinch hitter but for balance he is much more valuable atm in the backline.

 

[Scoop]

Has been truly awful the first two weeks. Paid Fasolo no respect, trailed him all night, slow as trickle.

Timid in the air and timid with the ball. Zero impact. Needs to get better. No impact on games. Playing dumb footy.

Comparisons to Hodge laughable. Couldn't carry his bag.

 

[Punt n Brunton]

Worst game I've seen from him tonight. Didn't do a lot right for a normally reliable player.

Yep. Was embarrassed tonight. Horrible game

 

[MackTiger]

And reported on first look he did appear to make contact, plus it was late.

 

[Ian4]

Made 2 atrocious decisions in the last minute

Na, he'll walk.
