Nick Vlastuin
- Thread starter Hungry
- Start date
Yep A grade: Rance, Houli, Grimes, Vlaustuin, Edwards, Cotchin , Martin, Prestia, Lambert, Lynch, Riewoldt. ( All would walk into any other team in the best 4)
B+ Astbury, Short, Rioli, Nakervis, Soldo, Caddy, Stack ( All In the best 9 in every other team)
B. Bolton, Graham, Pickett
C+ Broad Castagna, Baker, Ross, Naish, Bolta
CCJ, RCD, Turner Eggz ( Tremendous growth in our juniors)
Vlastuin typifies the tigers in every way.
He is vastly underrated by the footy media - just like the tiger team.
He is a massive on field leader - as is the way the team now plays as a whole.
He plays his role perfectly and is therefore often only seen as a role player by outsiders.
He is a tough player but plays fair.
I can’t remember who was taken before him in the draft but I am so glad we got him.
He reminds me of the cats defence when they were in the sweat spot with Scarlet the defensive general (we have Rance and now Grimes) but was surrounded by so me talented defenders.

Yep.
He is a gun.
Grundy went before him.
I was dead keen on Grundy but I would keep Vlossy.
He holds that backline together.
That’s correct. I think there were more than a few here saying we should have picked Grundy in preference to Vlastuin, although with 9 picks between the 2 we weren’t the only ones who didn’t go early on Grundy.
And Melbourne got Jimmy Toumpas with pick 4. Never change, Dees.
SOS took Jono O'Rourke with pick 2 and Lachie Plowman with pick 3. Gold.
Looking at the 2012 draft there are more misses than hits.
Grundy now the top ranked player of that draft - then there is Whitefield, McRae, Wines and Vlastuin which probably make out the top 5 (l will leave it up to others to rank those from 2 to 5 ).

Tigga was also Vic Metro skipper wasnt he that season.
That was another reason we took him.
Vlastuin was rated higher than #9 the preceeding year was rated top 2 or 3 from memory, just slipped a little in his draft year.

I'm happy to have Tigger underrated by peanut part-time observers The four walls know his worth. A Tiger champion.
Reckon Nick sits number four now behind Grundy, Whitfield and Mitchell. And that's a good three.
Aaron Mullet!!!!!!!!!! Fallen off a cliff.
The apposing team coaches all seem to ignore his obvious talents and those of others like Dylan, Shane, Kane etc at their peril and it showed yet again in the finals series.
