Outstanding

When things looked to be going pear shaped Nick stood up like a great leader does big time

Grimes got all the credit for stepping up when Rance went down but this guy stepped up just as much and was just as important... :shh

10 for me. Absolutely fearless and when we were getting pumped in the first part of the year he was still having a dip trying to keep the backline together . Had some absolute ripper games also where he took intercepts and contested marks.

10 for me too.

No real need to add much more IMO.

And to think we still have him up our sleeve to go into the midfield or even play forward. He would be a hard matchup being such a fantastic mark for such an agile guy.

Red Hot Superstar!  9.5 ... only because he can be even better (there are always ways to improve), stay away from the MRO next year & I'll hand out a 10!    :cheers

10 for me too. Probably my favourite Tiger.

It wasn't just Vlas and Grimes that stepped up. Astbury doesn't get much credit for his role but is just as important.
