Toast Nick Vlastuin - Round 7 Rising Star

[Capitano_Cotch]

Congrats Tigger.

Well deserved mate.

Look forward to seeing you running around in the yellow and black for many seasons to come.

Sincerely,
Tiger Army.

 

[Wacky Tiger]

Congrats Tigga. Well played and deserved. Hoping for many more games like it

 

[AstuteTiger]

Well done to Floss thoroughly deserved - Stats: 23 possies, 11 marks, 1 goal and 105 SC points...

 

[Capitano_Cotch]

Here's the article guys.

Scary how good this kid could be when he hits his 20's.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Great job Floss!

 

[The Sock Drawer]

Interesting how all the hype before the draft was about how much of a hardnut Vlastuin was... What has impressed me is his poise with the pill. Great stuff Nick!

He's a hard nut alright but he also shows much more to his game as well. This young man has huge upside. Definitely one to keep an eye on over the next few years. Also makes the Chocco signing all the more timely as well, Great stuff !!

 

[turtle27]

Great stuff, well deserved. Means he'll be on SEN tonite on the way home in the car.

Highlights vid please RFC_Official

 

[SA TIGER]

Congrats to young Nick and may he keep up the good work in the coming weeks.
Probably licking his chops right now at the thought of 20+ possessions again this Sunday!

 

[Football Tragic]

Don't believe he will ever have the X-Factor such as players like Martin or Lids but is a real workhorse. Could see him as a future general along the lines of a Voss where he demands those around him to step up and hunt the ball at all costs.

 

[Spluff]

I remember when I used to get extremely excited about these awards for our players. Then we started winning, and they became less and less important. Well done to Nick, but I'd suggest he knows exactly where he's at and doesn't need some empty media award to tell him he's done well.

 

[RichoLedio]

Anyone reckon he's a decent chance to win it?

 

[deliberate!!]

Love the honest, no fuss, no cheating, hard working boys.
Vlaustin is one of them.

 

[Mr Magic]

obvious selection.

Well done V.

V for the V factor

 

[tigs2010]

Anyone reckon he's a decent chance to win it?

Should be but won't. Where's the hype? If he gets a media bandwagon like Wines then yes he's a chance.

 

[_Wang_]

Was so happy when we got him.. Kids a star

 

[tora tora tora]

He's scary good isn't he. Great addition to our list.

 

[RichoLedio]

Should be but won't. Where's the hype? If he gets a media bandwagon like Wines then yes he's a chance.

I reckon Wines' hype will drop off a bit now, Port won't have another patch like their opening five games again

Possibly. Usually the media just run with it even if he was to slow down now anyway. O'Meara I think should win quite easily. But you never know with these awards.

 

[Pounce]

Congratulations to Nick! Reward for effort, alongside his senior debut. I don't think Tigga will worry too much about being the Round 7 Rising Star, he will be more focused on taking on Melbourne.

Agree on O'Meara

 

[Roachy8]

Never been more certain that we have snagged an A grade 200 + gamer than I am with this kid. (With the exception of our Captain)

Vlastuin already locked into our best 22 IMO and the guy just looks like a professional footballer but also a leader.

To take over from Cotch in what..... 8 years or so?

 

[Mr Magic]

Can't wait till he improves his tank in 4-5 years, V could be a real powerful inside monster around the ground in the midfield

The other thing I like about him is he appears to have a bit of character about him and could be a bit of a cult hero for club enthusiasts with the way he attacks the ball and all

 

[Reckoner Tiger]

Well done to Josh P. Kennedy MK II. Look forward to watching your rise into one of the games very best clearance mids!!
