Nick Vlastuin [merged]

he won't make the 22

stewart will sneak in though, despite not making the initial 40, then go and knock someone out in the finals like a good bloke

Tom Stewart is a good bloke .. it was a dogs act against Prestia, no doubt .. the one this year with Ollie Wines was rubbish though and absolutely nothing in it .. I honestly think he is a fair player

Vlastuin, who played every game bar the Round 24 clash against the Cats, was a prominent and calming leader in defence during the Tigers' 2025 campaign.

Averaging 19.1 disposals and an above average 6.1 marks this season, the veteran provided structure to a mixed backline of experienced and young Tigers.

And while there weren't on field wins every week, the 31-year-old continued to stand tall when the young side required his efforts most.

His All-Australian squad selection is a testament to his unwavering Richmond commitment, loyalty, leadership and genuine football skill, amongst a stellar group of AFL footballers.

It's his second time being nominated in the 44-man squad, with his first call up to the extended list in the 2020 premiership winning season.

The final team of 22, as per the criteria established in 2007, will be selected as if to play a match. The team will be named on Thursday, 28 August, as part of the AFL Awards.
 
The 2025 All Australian selection panel is Andrew Dillon (Chair), Eddie Betts, Jude Bolton, Nathan Buckley, Kane Cornes, Abbey Holmes, Glen Jakovich, Laura Kane and Matthew Pavlich.

Having 9 people on the judging panel is hilarious!
How the hell do you get to any kind of consensus with that many in the room?
Halve the people, remove the woke names and get some more in who actually understand the game and playing positions that they are adjudicating on. FFS

Laura Kane LOL

And no WP, it isn't because she's female. It's because it has been proven time and again that she has no idea

Same could be said for Andrew Dillon

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Like I said, half of them but with both the first 2 to be chopped. The AFL administration are without peer in incompetence.

Laura Kane LOL

Not sure of the need to mention me and justify your comment

You'll find a number of post by me criticising Kane. I've said she has proven she's incompetent.

I've also said that when it comes to appointing people in roles it should always be about appointing the best person for the job. Gender should have absolutely nothing to do with it

So in other words I agree with you

I wasn't mentioning you to "justify my comment"
My comment didn't need justifying. If people disagree, I couldn't give a continental.

I said it because often you are the leader of the woman's rights on the forum.

My comment was more a "don't go at me on the basis of gender, as it hasn't got a thing to do with my comment"

If she was male, I would say the same

And yep Go Richo .. Dillon the same

I wonder if it's better to just say it like that then next time Damo?

And I agree with you.

And it sounds like WP does too for that matter.

I guess nobody likes Laura Kane lol

Laura Kane is incompetent not because she's  female, but purely because she's incompetent.

Yeah we've established this. I think everyone in here is in agreement on that haha

Of the 44 players, 28 are vying for their first All-Australian team selection — including triple premiership Tiger Nick Vlastuin, who was ranked equal-fifth in the competition for intercept possessions in his 13th AFL season.

“This man has put a body of work in over a decade and has never been selected All-Australian,” ex-Tigers teammates Jack Riewoldt told Fox Footy’s On The Couch.

“This is the year. Sides are tagging him week-in, week-out. For a side that’s going to finish 16th, you must get him in.”
