Time for Vlastuin to show his mettle or cop it
« on: April 07, 2016, 11:27:42 PM »
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.

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.

Yep, that is why your post didn't get a response.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

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.

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.
