For all those that didn’t see him play yesterday.
Soundly beaten early. Fought his way back into it really well and at worst halved the contest for the rest of the game.
Doesn’t give up, is competitive and moves ridiculously well for a big bloke. Exciting times ahead.
I’d give him a run next week.
If you’re picking opposition rucks to play on debut.
Brisbane with Fort playing or Geelong would be two good options.
I’d give him a game
Good to here cJohns analysis of the VFL match on lunchtime catchup.
Against AFL ruck - Pittonet smashed him first quarter.
won hit outs 41-27 overall
VIGO after coaching helped worked into the game and picked up disposals around the ground and finished with similar disposal tally.
Would be good preparation for an AFL match.
Certainly better than going to Perth to debut against Darcy and Jackson the week after. I guess that’s the game you’d pick if you wanted to prove to people he’s not ready for the AFL yet, though.
ANNOUNCE
BRING THIS TALL HUMAN IN YOU CONSERVATIVE JERKS
I’m not sure I’m ready to see this kid play AFL. I like the thought of it, but I am known to very quickly end the career of a kid after a bad game.
Two debutants not enough for you jw? Big Vigo will get his go soon, no doubt.
Unlucky to have blackers come in ahead of him but I assume he is playing defense
I agree, but even if it is in for Goldstein to rest, it’s not a bad thing they are resisting with Vigo, he is still young and will get his turn - I’m sure behind closed doors he is told he is close.
Blakiston was a plug and play selection, so it makes sense.
Am I the only one who doesn’t find his lack of selection outrageous? Admittedly I’ve missed a few VFL games this year but this is a ways short of PlayDraperAlreadyFFS levels IMO.
Nope, I think playing VFL the whole year at his stage of development will do wonders for his confidence, while getting good challenges, such as Pittonett last week. Better this than getting most likely taken to pieces by the absolute best in the AFL
Don’t get me wrong I’d love to get him a debut this year, even if late, to give him some motivation heading into pre-season. But I hardly think it’s outrageous he wasn’t picked weeks ago.
I haven’t seen much (if any) actual outrage. A bunch of memeing though.
I’m sure there’s a bunch of us that would like him to get a game, but it’s well short of Draper levels.
He’s played less than 10 VFL games as primary ruck after all.
It’s Rhys Farken Stanley and the carnt that was a hurdler but can’t ruck.
Not as if he would be up against peak Max Gawn
Damn, what an unfortunate middle name his parents gave him!
It’s pretty apt for a deadset plonker 
Maybe they’re wary of picking too many debutants simultaneously, but this would have been the ideal week to select Vigo. Stanley is a relatively innocuous opponent to come up against, and he would have both Wright and Blakiston as a chop-out.
Goldy needs a rest soon. He can’t keep up now. It will be interesting to see what the selectors choose to do then. Surely Vigo can’t be far off his debut?
