The Buzz: How your top draft pick is travelling

RICHMOND: Nick Vlastuin
The Tigers went for a midfield hard nut at selection nine. What we didn't know was that he had tricks, could mark overhead, and make such an instant impact. Had to wait until Round 5 to debut but has starred since with 15 games in which he has averaged 16 touches. His tackles stick, he kicks it well, and he went back with the flight from 30m a few weeks back to take a mark that will stick in the mind for a long time. A real find.
They also have Liam McBean, a 200cm tall forward kicking goals by the bagful in the VFL after being taken at pick 33. The hype is building about him, too.

Not to mention his poise under pressure kicking for goal. Kid doesn't miss.

Not sure how he'd force his way into the side. Jake King would be first in line to return (pending fitness) and don't see McGuane and/or Vickery being dropped
