Vlastuin wins Rising Star nomination

RICHMOND'S top draft pick Nick Vlastuin is the round seven NAB AFL Rising Star nominee.

Vlastuin collected 23 disposals, hauled in 11 marks and kicked a goal in the Tigers' important 41-point win over Port Adelaide at AAMI Stadium on Saturday.

The 19-year-old was selected by Richmond with the ninth overall pick in last year's draft after an impressive draft year captaining Vic Metro at the 2012 NAB AFL Under-18 Championships and for the Northern Knights in the TAC Cup.

Vlastuin made an immediate impact at the Tigers in an impressive NAB Cup campaign, but coach Damien Hardwick made him wait for his debut, eventually receiving the call-up against Fremantle in round five.

Since then he has become an integral member of the Tigers' side, adding toughness and determination in multiple roles around the ground.

I don't think Tigger will ever be a flashy/X-Factor player but he will be a relentless workhorse and possibly a general in the mode of Voss. He reminds me very much of Conca with his attack on the ball and our second tier midfield is beginning to look very potent for the future.

Well done Vlas!

Well done Vlas. Well deserved

When Cotch is 29, he'll relinquish the captaincy and it will go to this bloke.

Look at Tiga's(?) sig, that looks like a bit of x-factor to me. Or do you have to be aboriginal to have x-factor?
