The 10 most underrated players in the AFL

Nick Vlastuin (Richmond)

The fans believe Vlastuin is one of the most underrated players in the league and we agree.

A stalwart in defence for the Tigers, the ever-composed Vlastuin has been a model of consistency over his 255-game career which has included three premierships.

Richmond’s intercept king has finished top four in the best and fairest on five occasions - including twice in premiership seasons - highlighting his importance to the yellow and black.

Vlastuin is an elite defender at club level and that only extends to the league side of things where he ranks in the top 10 for intercept possessions and top 5 for intercept marks.

Somehow he’s still not an All-Australian which is criminal.

The player at your club ready to fire after a frustrating 2025

Which player could have a big impact at your club next year?

Josh Gibcus (one game in 2025)

The Tigers defender has endured a tough injury run after an impressive first year in the AFL. The No.9 pick in 2021, Gibcus played 18 games the following year but has featured just three times since. Gibcus missed all of 2023 due to a nightmare hamstring tendon injury before tearing his anterior cruciate ligament in early 2024. The Tigers were patient with Gibcus and after a run of VFL games, he played his first AFL game in 527 days against Geelong in the final round of the 2025 season. The Tigers will also be hoping Josh Smillie, the No.7 pick in the 2024 draft, can make his debut after injury ruined his 2025 season, and that young gun Sam Lalor plays more than 11 games in 2026.

Tell us more about the killers 

Religion of peace strikes again

Hmmm.

All faiths preach peace. Not all religions though.

And yes the majority are 'peaceful'.

But I have to say...I feel like the 'non-peaceful minority' is disproportionately larger in this particular faith or religion.

So people will always say that this isn't representative of the whole, this was two psychopaths etc...but there does seem to be some pattern recognition here.

Have a look at the protests over at the opera. When was the last time you saw an asian, jewish  or christian gathering preaching such garbage of another religion.

i would say a small portion of that religion are good people who assimilate into society. The rest of them are better off where they came from.
