4th season first round pick. 22yo.
Has flown under the radar. Taken before Danaher, Jacsch, Kommer
Yet is spruiked as a future captain.
Ellis is afforded less scrutiny.
Time to deliver.
Enough said.

Time for his dopey coach to play him in the middle.
Least of our concerns.
End the clown stories.

I'm starting to think that maybe he has already succumbed to the dreaded disease, looks like he's just isn't going to be what we all saw could've been.
Richmond FC, ruining careers since 1983. :clapping :gotigers :clapping

Assuming you mean Daniher, he was a F/S pick. But whatever not sure why I'm even bothering

To be honest we're not sure why either. 'Mr Value-Add' strikes again ::)

I think he makes a valid point about Daniher Dooks. Why mention Daniher at all? We were never going to get him as he was a F/S pick up.
I'm not too worried about Flossy. He plays his role down back. I agree he needs to be challenged more and play in the guts though.

It's going to be a long season

Yep, that is why your post didn't get a response.

I think Vlastuin is tracking nicely.
One of the few true shinning lights as far as kids go over the last couple of seasons.
I think he is our only true option to play on Betts this weekend but I'd also like to see him get some stints in the middle this year. I think he has learnt valuable lessons as a defender but IMO he should slowly get introduced into the midfield as he is an upgrade on Townsend as that tough inside mid.
Problem is we have very few that can play his role in the back half.
Castagna is the only kid I can see on our list that is a natural small running defender.
Hopefully when Yarran is ready he can can help out there too.
McIntosh a must IMO now to play across HB.
Is like to see a backline like this at some stage during this year with Vlastuin in the midfield.
Grimes Rance Castgana
Yarran Astbury McIntosh

Agree Big Tone - Vlossy needs to really step up and do a job on Eddie Betts tomorrow.
Love this kid but this is a big game for him I reckon.

Which is a bit unfair
He's not a natural small defender IMHO, poor list managment
I'm a big fan of voss , we could use two of him
-
Betts is not your normal small forward either. Great overhead too.

:clapping I knew most people would get it but Dooks proved why I questioned why I even bothered. Hates to be called out does Dooks.

There have been some anti-Vlastuin vibes around for a while
bit silly imho

:lol back to back value add
It's not just about who we could have taken but comparing who was taken where.
Daniher was rated as a first rounder as was Vlastuin, yet one of the two is shaping up to be a star whilst Vlastuin is mediocre.
I expect a cracking game from him tomorrow.

Most experts said that Daniher would have been number 1 pick. Nobody had Vlastuin even top 5. Vlastuin is not mediocre. Don't you watch the football regularly? He had some fantastic games last year. I dare say he has had more good games than Daniher so far but that is expected because KPFs take longer to develop.

Good god. :huh
So if you had the choice between them now you'd have Vlastuin over Daniher then?
-
Firstly I don't have that choice.
Secondly, did you actually read what I wrote? I said Daniher was rated as number 1 but he was a F/S so he slid to the bombers. I also said players like him take longer to develop and so I would have expected him to come on more slowly than Vlastuin.

It's an easily answerable hypothetical.
I'll take that as a no you'd prefer Daniher unless you correct me that it's a yes you'd prefer Vlastuin.
What's your decision?
-
I wanted Grundy at the time....

Which is a direct comparison - unlike a father/son pick.....

Without any past anger toward Nick for anything, I believe it's time he stepped up.
Having said that, I agree with chucking him in the middle and allowing more for some of his natural
game to transpire. Again, it's a dimmer thing.

Daniher. Happy with Vlastuin though. Maybe our next captain.

Happy but you'd trade him. And trade a future captain. Right.OK.
-
Kids got mettle, don't doubt his courage and toughness - but Im one of the few that thinks his performances need to get better, dont think he does enough and think hes capable of a lot more.
Interesting on all the comments about unleashing him into the midfield so he can play his natural game. Is he a natural midfielder? He played HB and BP in his final tac cup season.

If he is to be our next captain, I'd be practicing my set shots at goal if I was him or he is stuffed. Apparently that's how you judge the leadership of your in and under midfield captain. :whistle :cheers

Well said :clapping

You obviously didn't understand the context of my answer. If I was choosing from the draft that year, I would have picked Daniher, if he was available. I'm not saying I'd trade Vlastuin now. He is a Richmond man now. He is not on my trade table.
-
It appears Flossy is stuck in a back-pocket rather than the midfield because we have no other small options back in defence with Morris now on the outer because he isn't up to it.
Flossy actually had two brain-fades last Friday night but only the deliberate one near the end of the game was focussed on by the media. With 30 seconds to go in the 3rd quarter and with us just needing to maintain possession, he kicked across half-back straight to a Collingwood player who ran in and missed. So we went into the 3/4 time huddle five points up instead of six, and that gifted point to the Pies ended up being the final margin.

Stand the FFFFF up mate. TODAY!!!!

Did a lot of good things too
Like that, should of been, game-saving mark on te last line
Vlastuin is a victim of rubbish RFC list managment

Chappy too soft to pick the ball up
Paddle paddle paddle

4 disposals in 63 minutes of footy. There's your first rounder and future captain

Yep, has learnt too much off Batchelor. Replicating him now.

I agree. Love the guy but its time he plays midfield.
-
What makes people so sure he'll get it in midfield?
Doesn't strike me as a high possession player.
-

Come on all he could pick was two duds so he had to think of a third whether it was reasonable or not

That was the knock on him when he was a junior. Just was never a high accumulater.

Juniors schmuniors.......any coaching & fitness staff worth a pinch of shyte should easily be able develop him into an inside beast...he has all the tools.....

He's a mid, or was for a majority of his TAC and junior career. I think he played HB for Vic metro?
