Rate a Tiger's year - Nick Vlastuin?

[one-eyed]

A good time to review individual Tigers. First up is Vlastuin.

Floss in his 8th year of AFL played 20 of a possible 21 games in 2020 to take his career total to 161 and in doing so the 26 year old became a triple premiership player. A vital cog in our backline all season, he was unfortunately knocked out within the first five minutes of the Grand Final.

How did we all rate Vlastuin's year?

[Go Richo 12]

Rated him a 8.

One of our most valuable players, he had a great season. 1st in intercepts
marks says it all really.

Reduced output in disposals but shorter games.

I really appreciate this bloke..

[WilliamPowell]

Gave him a 9

Took his game to another by showing us what an outstanding leader he is. Reckon that part of his game will continue to evolve. He will our next captain IMHO

One of our most important

[georgies31]

So underated and reliable.

[lamington]

I gave him a 10. In the first third of the year when the team’s form was up and down, he was consistently solid. Really kept us in the hunt when the team was finding itself

[Andyy]

9

Man crush on him

[JP Tiger]

What a fantastic player this bloke is!  Can do it all, but does it consistently & reliably week in, week out.  Add in the obvious leadership qualities & you have an absolute star!      

9.5! 

[Chuck17]

Gave him a 9, would have been a 10 except for the digital penetration of Chol
