All-Australian Tigers in 2021?

YOUR CLUB'S BEST CHANCE AT A FIRST-TIME ALL-AUSTRALIAN IN 2021

Richmond

Nick Vlastuin

Now a bona fide elite intercept defender, Nick Vlastuin has an All-Australian blazer in his sights.

The no-nonsense three-time premiership backman made the squad of 40 last year so it is safe to say he is knocking on the door.

Vlastuin takes intercept marks at will, can also negate opponents with his defensive expertise, while providing a neat balance of rebound and assuredness out of the back half.

Midfielder Dion Prestia was close in 2019 but would require an injury-free season to be any chance of forcing his way in and joining Dustin Martin, Trent Cotchin, Jack Riewoldt, Dylan Grimes, Bachar Houli and Shane Edwards as All-Australian Tigers.

An indictment on AA selectors  that Floss has never been an All-Australian defender.

No Tigers in the AFL website's midseason All-Australian side.

Robbo: Why I left Dusty out of my All-Australian side

Mark Robinson has named his mid-season team of the year, and there are no Tigers.

As for the AA side, happy for the so-called 'experts' to foolishly underrate our players and our team once again :yep.

AFL All-Australian team 2021: Contenders at every AFL club

RICHMOND

You could quite comfortably put Dustin Martin in the book now for a fifth All-Australian nod. The second best player of the year behind Marcus Bontempelli according to AFL Player Ratings.

A breakout year for Shai Bolton has to have him in the mix.

Jack Riewoldt looks rejuvenated up forward.

While Kane Lambert has also offered plenty when he’s been able to get on the park.
