Might shake the rebuild trying to replace this bloke. And broad to a lesser extent

Not if we can get another 2-3 seasons from him.
The defence is the least of our problems and Tom Brown looks primed to take his role.
"The money might have been better. But, at the end of the day, Richmond showed faith in me. It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”

It's the least of our problems due to Vlastuin and Broad.

Broad seriously. Based on output and the fact he plays a loose man he is arguably the easiest bloke to replace once the younger guys gain more experience

Vlastuin continues push for maiden All-Australian

His team might have been thumped, but it wasn’t because of Nick Vlastuin. The man with more intercept possessions than anyone in the AFL racked up another 11 against the Suns. From the opening minutes he was magnificent, cutting off Gold Coast forward entries and sweeping up anything within his vicinity. Vlastuin’s only mistake came during the second quarter when he sprayed a set shot in a rare jaunt forward. Could this be the year the 31-year-old gets his first All-Australian blazer? He has to be right in the frame.

20 disposals (14k, 6h, 8c, 9u, 90% eff.)
8 marks
4 tackles
317m gained
11 intercepts
3 score involvements
1 behind
83% gametime

Another good game for Tigga which means Tom Stewart is one step closer to another AA blazer.

In his presser Yze said it's either a syndesmosis or fractured ankle for Nick

How long do they take? Hopefully doesn't delay his pre-season and hopefully doesn't prevent an AA cap which he deserves

Nick Vlastuin: Fractured Ankle, Season

“Unfortunately for Nick, he sustained a pretty significant ankle injury,” Serpell said.

“He has undergone surgery this morning, and it just goes to show how tough he is to be able to walk off the field and be in the operating theatre two days later.

“He will be out for a little bit of time, and unfortunately, it will impact the start of his preseason, but we certainly hope to see him out there early next year.”

Made the 40-man all-aus squad. Hopefully he makes the final team.
