5 years will take him to 31-32. Think he’s probably sacrificed some dollars for greater length. Great to have him recommit.
I agree. With the talented list we have at present I still rate the big V right up there. What a great signing. What a great list we have. We are looking very good but must get shai now.

He's no Darcy Byrne-Jones.

would be interesting to see if Dusty could humiliate Richmonds Greatest Love Machine, or say Dylan Grimes,

1:1

and leave them sprawling on the turf, clutching their ego, while Dusty saunters off and hits a target i50 60m away in traffic?

I'm pretty sure he could

Spot on. Have a look at some of the defenders that have received AA honours ahead of Vlastuin in the past few years.

Darcy-Byrne Jones!! FFS. Luke Ryan!! FFS. Tom Stewart has 2!! Brad Sheppard, Caleb Daniel, Michael Hibberd, Sam Docherty!!!!

FFS!!!! What a joke.
Great news on Vlas. He's been a gun for 5 years. Let's hope he gets the AA this year.

He's better than all those players but the most annoying for me is Caleb Daniel. One on one he is regularly beaten. He essentially plays as a loose and is a good distributor but nothing else. Doesn't run forward and carve you up with his attacking game. Basically mops up on the ground and releases it sideways or short. Is a neat player, nothing more.

You can't be an AA defender if you can't defend. Joke.

Very happy to see Nick play out his career at Richmond.

But anyone else have concerns about risk of concussion ending his career early? I might be wrong but my perception is that he has had a few.

(not wanting to take anything away from this good news)

“It shows huge belief on their part that they trust me to be able to perform for that long, it is a lot of faith, and I obviously want to return it,” he said.

“With the length of the deal, it locks me away now. I do not have to think about that or anything else.

“It means heaps to be a one-club player, and I just love being at the Club. I would not want to be or could not imagine being anywhere else, and this kind of seals that.”

Says it all. This is a set up to make him the next skipper as I really think Chimp will step down or retire after this season.

It was just announced on Twitter he’s going in for further scans.

Could be out for the season.

More to come.
