Player Watch #1: Nick Vlastuin

[TheDarkKnighta]

Bloody champion this kid.

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Just take him for granted now....
There's grindstone...sharpens the defence...
There's ironstone.....hard as...
There's the cornerstone of our defence...
And he's know as flos-stone...

This guy was huge last night.

 

[Punt Road Feral]

This guy was huge last night.

He was and stood up massively and kicked a steadier when we needed it.
Love the way he goes about it

 

[no.11]

Was excellent last night. Can't get the ball past him.

almost never happens

its so dam calming

 

[sante]

He's a gun. Reliable as anyone especially under pressure

 

[DontArgue4]

Fear the beard

 

[NaturalDisaster]

to think people were panicking because he wasn't reaching his potential before he even hit his peak age period

Always been solid but this year he has turned into a gun... One of our most improved besides Astbury/Lambo/B Ellis

 

[gavaniacono]

Hes a god. A viking god. Love him.

 

[JR#8]

Love his hardness around the contest and velcro hands. Took some crucial marks for us on Friday.

What an unreal player we've found. Going to be a superstar and has announced himself on the competition after that performance on the big stage.

Don't we have to wait for players to be approached by North Melbourne before we can call them superstars?

Vlas at hb
BEllis at hb
Lambert in the midfield
Our coach is a f****** genius!

 

[manangatang]

Just get the sense that this bloke could be a big presence in our finals this year. Has that cool head about him now that was missing in previous years; he just looks like he knows what he's doing. Jack Graham also has that coolness about him.

Geez; I'm not normally correct, but I'll claim this. To be fair, it was an easy get...

bog

 

[mattt]

Brienne would've been impressed with that goal.

 

[TigerImposter]

What a massive game this bloke played Friday night. His reading of the ball in the air was critical especially in the first half.
If he hadn't missed through injury he would have made the AA team.

LOVE THIS KID, I HOPE HE GETS TO CAPTAIN RICHMOND ONE DAY!!

Will take over from Cotchin, but don't see Cotch losing the captaincy anytime soon.

Richmond's Nick Vlastuin is the Tiger who has always been a Tigger

"The beard is a new thing this year. Vlastuin cut his chin in the first pre-season match and needed four stitches. The doctor told him not to shave as it would help avoid irritating the stitches. Weeks later he got the stitches out and the next day cut his chin again, needing another eight stitches. He has not shaved since.For a while Ben Lennon, Reece Conca and Jake Batchelor joined in with a beard group – sending progress pictures of their beards to each other – but eventually the others cracked and shaved them off.

"Cowards," Vlastuin says. "They shaved it off, then all the fans kind of jumped on to mine, so I can't really get rid of it. Now I have this big red beard. It's just big and red, so everyone notices it. The missus, Georgia, is on board. She likes it now. At the start she was not a fan."

Needs to keep it. Cult figure status.
