Player Watch #1: Nick Vlastuin

[energyquant]

I love Flossy, but he hasn't been the same since Dangerfield raised his elbow and knocked him out.

Total amateur psychologist BS here, but I wonder how he feels about winning a premiership medal for a game he barely played in, or missing out on the captaincy to Dylan Grimes

. If I were in his shoes, I reckon I'd be a bit of an angry campaigner as well.

Anyway, he needs to get this shit out of his game. At least until we play Geelong in a Grand Final and he gets an opportunity to "spoil" Dangerfield.

Someone got the footage? This must have been way off the ball

Only tussle I remember was Soldo and Nic Nat

[Mr Unbelievable]

Surely they contest that it wasn't high? Got him in the shoulder didn't it?

We will contest , Dimma said very likely on 360

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Dumb sheet...

 

[BillHickman]

Deserves a week for being a dumbarse. Aims for chest, probably goes high, can't see him getting off if they appeal. As others have said, since he's copped a few concussions with the massive one in 2020 he seems to play angry and oppos certainly target him.

 

[tiger_tough]

Had the potential to be high.

So? That doesn't come into consideration at tribunal.

Hahaha intentional farcical sport. Accidental based on last week

Of course it was intentional.

Good to hear

wtf is ralph trying to say "Could be one option for Rankine."?

 

[tiger_tough]

Just saw the footage on 360. Clearly gets him on the shoulder. Has to get off.

Only difference is that strikes are deemed intentional. Is literally in black and white in the tribunal guidelines.

Intent: Notwithstanding any other part of these Guidelines, the fact that an act of striking occurred behind the play or off the ball or during a break in play or with a raised forearm or elbow is usually consistent with the strike being intentional.

you missed what jumper he is wearing clearly

Agee.
Just shits me that Stewart intended to bump just like Vlastuin intended to whack.
Too many weasel words that can be manipulated when we all know Stewart fully intended to crunch Prestia.

 

[Area51]

AFL will roll out the "potential to cause serious injury" bs they reserve just for us.

 

[Infamy]

Intentional but Stewart's hit wasn't

What a ******* joke

They are pretty consistent with this when it comes to a strike instead of a bump
Vlastuin uses his forearm, looks like it makes initial contact to the shoulder, but it then slips high
That hasn't been an excuse to get off in the past

Happy for us to challenge it, but it's pretty stupid from him and I won't be surprised if the week stands

 

[Roksman]

Intentional but Stewart's hit wasn't

What a ******* joke

Any strike - no matter the force - which is behind play is automatically graded intentional.

That's the rule so it's a correct grading.

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

Can see why he wasn’t close to being skipper, dumb way too often

I can't believe we're pissing $10k up against the wall with this appeal. There is no way he gets off. The AFL hates this sort of footage.

Yeah I don’t really see the point, Pickett the other week didn’t get off on a football act so why would Vloss get off

 

[tony__montana]

Couple of things, Did Dimma say they have footage from another angle that shows it wasnt high?
The way the west coast player patted him after the down the field free was paid makes me think he maybe didnt get him high. Players usually acknowledge when their oppo has been hard done by.

Either way hes an idiot for doing it and losing him may be the tipping point of not winning this week with other senior players also missing.

Maybe they have goal review....

Disagree, I think he intended to get him on the shoulder but it slipped up and got him in the head. The West Coast player clutches the side of his face instantly, the onus on the club now is to prove the act wasn't intentional but rather careless.

I think the 1 week will remain.

Pickett got him high, I'm not sure Vlastuin did.

 

[Muddiemoose]

Even so, he clocked a guy or all not it’s not something that we need in the game anymore

 

[tiger_tough]

Yeah no doubt but it's only worthy of a fine if it's to the body, according to the tribunal guide.

 

[tigers12]

You can’t even see what he done the goal post is in the way you can’t tell if it’s high looks like in the chest afl is a corrupt bunch of morons that needs to be cleaned out at the end of year from top to bottom it’s beyond a joke now

 

[Charlie Pannam]

Looking at the footage I can’t see exactly where he’s struck him but it’s a silly act ( albeit the sort of thing that happens regularly).
He went down like he’d been shot , so if it wasn’t head then it’s either
Upper rib cage,

Or
Staging
