Nick Vlastuin

[BT Tiger]

Great news!

5 years is fine, he's earned some security in his contract.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Star. No issues with that here.

 

[Mr Brightside]

Well deserved

 

[achillesjones]

he would have been hunted like crazy at the end of this year. brilliant move.

 

[achillesjones]

now for Shai.

 

[Harry]

good signing. would have had some big free agency offers

 

[taztiger4]

We just dont lose the players we want to keep do we & dont @ me about Higgins

 

[Ice]

fantastic

 

[Reverse Centaur]

Shows a shining pathway for any other young player looking to be a lifer.

Be a Richmond man like Nick and we will look after you.

* Captaincy included, T&C’s apply

Lovely jubbly, ticking off those out of contract stars nice and early. Grimes, Balta, Bakes and now Vlastuin. Now for Shai, George and Kmac, then the kids and the older guys.

Good on ya Flossy, rapt he will be a tiger for life

 

[eZyT]

good signing. would have had some big free agency offers

yeah an emerging young side like GC would have offered him 7 years.

now its Operation Sign $hai

Ralph must have a spring in his step

 

[Rfc4Ever]

Amazing news and congrats to Nick

 

[Harry]

Reckon it will be the final year for Houli, Naish and Garthwaite. Maybe Chol also depending on how he goes.

assuming the old fellas - Sheds, JR and Dave are going nowhere and Bachar is done.

and with the important proviso I hope all these blokes re-sign,

$hai is the only untouchable on that list.

I fully expect the media to be anonymously tipped off by Ralph Carr about $hai shopping for houses in Fremantle in about August

Reckon you’re right.

 

[St Kevin]

5 years will take him to 31-32. Think he’s probably sacrificed some dollars for greater length. Great to have him recommit.

Reckon it will be the final year for Houli, Naish and Garthwaite. Maybe Chol also depending on how he goes.

Be interesting to see how the 2019 draft class is judged. Sometimes after the initial 2 year contract is up some are let go. But given 2020 was basically a wipe out apart from a few reduced number practice matches, so they haven't had a real chance to show much.

 

[French Tiger]

Congrats on the 5 year deal Nick. Good tough old fashioned no frills footballer. Would be one of our first selected each week.
