Still early days but he looks like an astute selection. I think the top ten will be very strong, all the players bar Toumpas have shown some serious ability.In the end it will come down to picking a player based on positional need.

Re: A positive - Vlastuin?
There were several great plays. I loved the one (kicking to city end) we had two options who had burst just fwd of their man. The closer one was the easier kick to get clear on the wing. The second was further afield, slightly harder kick, but absolutely the right option - he kicked with with a bit of extra weight so our player had to run onto it and received just shy if the 50m arc coming in from the MMC members wing. Glorious kick, but even better, glorious quick decision.
On a winner with this guy

Watched live and listened to MMM today, they were raving about the boy, he was running at 100% disposal efficiency for much of the game and his season average has him about 15 % above the AFL average! What a great pick this kid was, my new favorite player.

Great game by Floss, hard as nails, tough boy but his skills match his aggression and is very good overhead too...
Gonna be a super player along with Ellis....

That big bonce contains a big football brain.
Strong, good decision maker and a good user...that combination has been rare as rocking horse *smile* at Richmond over the years.

Re: A positive - Vlastuin?
So hard yet has the composure to weight his kicks on either foot so well.
Will play the rest of the year,

Re: A positive - Vlastuin?
That was a magnificent bit of play.
What really struck me today re Vlas and Ellis was their willingness to run and run and run some more to pick up a possession. It stood out like a dog's proverbial next to some of their more stagnant senior team mates.

Re: A positive - Vlastuin?
Absolutely.
In a game that never threatened to get out of second gear, that was the bona fide highlight. Some of his work today was truly outstanding, this guy will stand next to Cotchin, Deledio and Martin as an equal.

Re: A positive - Vlastuin?
This. Hopefully Dimma points this out to some of the senior players. Both teenagers yet led the way.
Vlas is certainly a leader out there and has not looked out of place in all games thus far. I can't believe he went that late in last years draft.
