an outstanding marking player

Brad Miller had this thread sown up until he screwed it

 

[Muddiemoose]

Been a favourite of tigers fans for a long time
Right up with some of the best intercept players in the comp but also handy at ground level
Rarely lowers his colours

Tigers copped a bit of flak when they picked him up in the draft, but no one taken after him has had a better career

Yeah and it’s been a bit of a funny one
When he was drafted we all kind of hoped he would eventually move into the middle but he was just so good at half back he never made the shift

Pre ACL's Docherty was awesome above his head. Liam Ryan

when fully fit is still incredible in the air.

Pre ACL's Docherty was awesome above his head. Liam Ryan when fully fit is still incredible in the air.

Fair call with Ryan as a forward, but Vlastuin has a better body of work

 

[btdg]

Do players from past eras count? Gary Ablett Sr was only 185cm and spent a lot of his career as a half forward or even up on the wing

Better player than Tom Stewart. Vlastuin beats him in just about every statistical category yet somehow it's 0 AAs to 5. Absolutely criminal

Wait are you serious? I am taller than Senior. That information has really made my day worse. I could swear he looked much bigger on TV that I would swear up and down he was in the 190's

Nope, listed at 185cm and 97kg

A lot of 80s guys are like that. Dermot Brereton was only 186cm (although i have seen him in person and think he is taller than that)

 

[The 747]

Vlaustin is an excellent player.

From the past nominate Jimmy Bartel.

It’s tricky because that was indeed around key position height back then
Was are to see anyone really above 195 and the big blokes we have over 200cm was unthinkable

 

[Cdog71]

Vlas is great at reading the ball and the bodywork to out mark in the contest. Elite.

Love the way Mcarthy from Bris plays at 5’10

 

[Muddiemoose]

Vlaustin is an excellent player.

From the past nominate Jimmy Bartel.

Enright is another one from that era

Similar type of player to Vlaustin as well

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Luke Ryan at 186cm is pretty similar to Vlaustin

 

[Arr0w]

Luke Ryan at 186cm is pretty similar to Vlaustin

Great nomination, another that punches above his size

Kenny Hunter!

Kenny Hunter!

Hunter was a freak, could play in every arc

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Hate to say it but Jamie Elliott is hard to go past - pound for pound.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Tyler Brockman will be in this conversation soon

 

[Arr0w]

Very sticky hands

Luke hodge-esque!

 

[NoWuckingFurries]
