Well now we have a another backup of sorts for Maric.

He wont play for at least 2 years. Needs to put on nearly 20kgs

Yeah more of a less developed Todd Elton.

How did u skip on Grundy?

There was 11 other teams that skipped him before Collingwood got him as well lol.
Very happy with Vlastuin though

[Chelskiman]

Yeah, would have liked to have picked him up, but very happy with Vlastuin.  McBean is definitely for the future which means we still need a backup for now.

Vlastuin is a awesome pick up. Very happy with McIntosh too, plays like D.Grimes

I thought the Tigers would jump on him to,but teams are reluctant to use an early pick on Ruckmen i was reminded of this last night and its pretty much on the money.

One of the two picks we have left will definitely go to taking either Wood or Stephenson you would think.

Wood or Stephenson look likely. McBean is no where near ready to play AFL, but has a lot of potential. He is pretty mobile around the ground

Tigers recruit Nick Vlastuin expects to feel right at home with the Punt Rd stars and stripes

RICHMOND'S newest onballer, Nick Vlastuin, could not take his Tigers jumper off on draft night.

The man welcomed to Punt Rd with pick No.9 wore his jumper to dinner with club officials and family to celebrate his selection.

"There was a supporters' group outside (the draft venue) and from there we went to dinner and I didn't have anything to change into," Vlastuin said.

"So I kept my Richmond jumper on. I didn't take it off until I went to bed."

The 187cm AIS-AFL graduate cannot wait to start training with the Tigers in Cairns next week.

"Someone said last night that they've only got about four players over 25," Vlastuin said.

" 'Dimma' (coach Damien Hardwick) likes the inside hard ball - I'm a bit like him I suppose - so I'm looking forward to playing there."
