Player Watch #1: Nick Vlastuin

[tigers12]

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,
Neck,
Or
Staging

Even their player didn’t remonstrate with him so it’s definitely a dive to make sure the umpire saw it

Could be the case.

Interesting what happens if he admitted to taking a dive, does he then get done for staging ?

Vlastuin really needs to curb that temper, it can cost us on the scoreboard and at the MRO.

People need to stop defending him it was intentional & even if negligible contract & slipped high that's the risk you run when you do a silly act.

 

[Muddiemoose]

Looks like we didn’t have any other footage that could clear him

Pretty dirty about it all, he didn’t need to do it and has now cost himself a game in a big game

 

[Tiges1229]

Idiot Vlaustin seriously

Typical blood nut losing their shit and doing dumb shit when things aren’t going their way .

The goal post clearly blocks the whole incident you don’t Know whether the wc player is playing for a free or not this sport is soft as butter if players are going down like they have been shot

There’s a front on vision. Whacked him in the shoulder, slid up to his head.

take the blinkers off, if someone does that to one of the Rioli boys we're screaming for blood.

JR just said on AFL360 that Nic told him that he made contact with the opponents head.
There we go, doesn’t get any more conclusive than that!!!

Additional to this, Jack also said that the WCE player in question (West I think) said to either Jack or Vlaustin that he wasn't hit in the head either.

Guess the vision would be too hard to argue against, which is why we didn't contest it.

PS. edited for ya

 

[Karp3_dm]

Nick a good teammate, just giving Miller or Mansell a game
Unselfish really

Thanks mate, you are correct, my bad.

 

[Carnis]

In the old days you’d say he’s a larrikin. Now, best described as a bit of a d*ck.

 

[Tigers_fan24]

There’s no way this was high…

 

[k31th]

I split-screened it (not sure why my software can't slow down both clips, but oh well... take the first scene frame-by-frame if you want to see them sync'd up with the only two angles we got), then zoomed in as much as I could on each at full speed and then slowed both angles down by 4x to see it well enough.

 

[energyquant]

very, very lucky to only get the one game....

 

[k31th]

Also a little unlucky that it slipped high off the point of the shoulder. If it was a tiny bit lower, it was not even a fine shrug. Reasonable outcome considering the stupidity of the action.
