Nick Vlastuin

[Tiger Pops]

I’d rest Gibcus. He’s got plenty of time.
He’s also earmarked as playing the same interceptor role as Vlastuin.
Give him a spell in the twos to really dominate and gain confidence.
In the meantime give Miller a run of games to prove to everyone, including himself, that he belongs at senior level. We’ll never know if we keep dropping him and recalling him due only to injuries

agree, Walker would monster the lighter frame of Gibcus. Tex looked good ball on the gourd (as much as I hate saying that) and we need bigger bodies around Rashelle, Walker and the monster Elliot Himmelberg.

I like DA's and your thinking. Gibcus is doing more than OK but can be outmuscled at times. We need bid bodies next week to slow down Walker etc so to me that would elevate Miller to do the job on one of them as he is a big, fast and mobile unit. Having Vlastuin in back would be welcome and he is battle hardened although may be a little rusty after his lay off.

Vlastuin has another week off to be sure for me

Miller - Himmelberg
Tex - Tarrant
Gallant - Broad

Gibcus roams free

 

[Scoop]

Vlastuin to assume the intercept/rebound role Broad has been playing.

Not sure about that, Broad is in career form, the backline is humming.

Vlastuin to come back and just ease back into it. Nick had an ordinary 2021, I’m not convinced that he and Broad aren’t on the same level right now.

Are you suggesting Nick isn’t a walk up start? If he isn’t playing that interceptor role than what is his role?

I‘m suggesting that right now Nick can’t play that role better than Broad is currently. Especially on his first week back.

Ease him back into it. Broad is playing his best footy ever, I’m loathe to move him out of that role.

Will be a challenge to dominate in the twos in his position i reckon.

 

[Tiger Pops]

The only thing that concerns me from all snippets online is Vlas kicking beyond 30m. Im not sure how he is pulling up with longer kicking. Nice is a very nice kick, you need your backs kicking 45-55m consistently. If he is kicking full distances with no leg complaints for me he plays v crows.

 

[Tigers of Old]

So Tigga is back.
Been a tough time for him since getting knocked out cold by that thug in the 2020 GF.
Hope he can rediscover his best form.

 

[year of the tiger]

I just hope his hamies last the distance, particularly after travelling on a plane.

 

[tha8ball]

Great to have the champ back.

 

[artball]

really interested to see how he goes and happy he's back

the latter part of last season he was a bit all over the shop. seemed angry about something

 

[Tigers of Old]

The highlight of our performance. Good strong return.

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

The highlight of our performance. Good strong return.

Was he was cooked by half time.
That dud number 23 bent him over.
Hardwick doesn't believe in reserves

 

[artball]

started great but faded a bit ..

 

[RoarEmotion]

Was great early. Still managed to give away another stupid 50 1st game. (Time wasting)

 

[tigerlove]

Vlastuin sensational again. I personally thought he should have been made captain. Personifies commitment. 24 disposals 9 contested, 10 marks 2 contested, 6 rebound 50s and 14 intercepts. Crazy.

 

[seven]

He’s brings the synergy to the backline

 

[Aegean Tiger]

AA form.

 

[Redford]

He’s gotta be the most underrated player I’ve ever seen in the AFL. He’s a superstar. Should be a multiple AA.

**** Byrne-Jones. What a joke. Probably a Luke Darcy selection.
