Impressive in return
Vlastuin scored one behind to go with 30 disposals (20 kicks, 10 handballs) and made 14 marks during Saturday's 89-56 win over North Melbourne in Round 21.
ANALYSIS
Vlastuin hadn't played in over a month and returned with his best effort of the season as one of two Tigers to reach 30 disposals. If he can stay fit in the final weeks of 2021, Vlastuin's importance to his club can't be understated and he may put up a few more big games in the weeks to come.

Has knee injury
Vlastuin suffered a knock to his knee and is listed as questionable for Round 17 against Collingwood, according to Physical Performance Manager Peter Burge. "We have had some scans in the following days, and he has got a little bit of medial ligament damage in his knee which will not necessarily rule him out of the game this week.

Out another month
Vlastuin is expected to miss another month after his knee injury was revealed to be worse than initially suspected.
ANALYSIS
Vlastuin has only played in a small part of Round 1 this season and now isn't expected to return until May. The Tigers remain a strong team, but Vlastuin would certainly be a boost when he's healthy again.
