What are peoples thought about trying this guy in the forward line as the crumbing forward we lack??

Get Morris in the back line and use Vlas forward??

Why change his position from where he has always played?

Depends on the player, you need to ask confirmation from WAT. So far I have gathered you can't change Lambert around but you can change Vlaustin. Keep me updated

I think it's ok to play players in different positions if the move is WAT's idea.
If someone could tell Damien this, that'd be great.

Flossy on Crocmedia's Sportsday...

* Over the course of the pre-season, I’ve just done all my work pretty much with the defenders, and feel a lot more comfortable there. In previous years, I felt I’d been babied a little bit by the older players, just as far as voice goes in a game. I’d always be quiet and just try to learn. Whereas this year, I’m feeling a lot more comfortable to talk around stoppages and talk to one of the other boys if I think they’re in the wrong spot or something like that. We’ve got a good, solid back six and we’re all very comfortable with each other.

And what happened Saturday against the Roos?

Vlastuin should eventually make his way into the middle he has all the talent to become a very good midfielder.

For me we don't have enough composed heads in the back line. At his best Vlastuin is a great kick and good user of the ball. Players like Hodge or Enright have spent the bulk of their careers in the backline setting up attack and keeping opposition scores down. I don't see why Vlastuin can't be that player.

Saw vlastuin at the surf yesterday arvo. gave him a 'go tiges!!!  :gotigers' as I was driving off and didnt even crack a smile from him.
I know you cant expect players to always be happy and perhaps he had a shockin surf.. but just made me feel he wasnt happy to be recognised as a tiger.

Nope. Middle.
