Past #26: Daniel Nielson - won't be offered a new contract - thanks for your efforts Dan

[TooUglyForFugly]

yeah he's not been drafted to be a superstar, just a good old fashioned stopper.

Will fit in well at our club which is largely void of superstars. :firm look:

 

[ShinbonerBaz]

Does one of those underrated, but important acts which I really rate......gets back off the mark quickly every time.

Mitch Clark has taken up trucking?

It's easy to forget the true magnitude of Loose's weight loss. Wowza!

As soon as he gets it he swivels and scans while running backwards. Love it!!!!

Reminds me quite a bit of Will Schofield.

He's got David Mundy's Hair and his face reminds me of a former Roo with an Eastern Ranges connection in Daniel McConnell.

"North Melbourne draftee Daniel Nielson, who completed year 12 at Upwey High School, at the peak of the football season juggled study with near daily training plus match day commitments with the Eastern Ranges.

“It’s probably been one of the biggest years I have had mentally and physically — just trying to get through everything school-wise and do my best there as well as trying to do my best at football,’’ Daniel, a keen photographer and musician, said.

“I wanted to get to my dream of playing AFL — but I also knew I wanted to finish year 12.

“That’s something I always aimed toward. I wasn’t going to give that up for anything.”

Unfortunate coincidence that Nielson went much higher in the draft than expected like Shore.

Unfortunate coincidence that Nielson went much higher in the draft than expected like Shore.

Unfortunate event in history that Kris Shore was taken into the team at all.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Who was kris shore, I've blocked him from memory.

Ben Davies' cousin.

Shore was a great guy, a victim of our atrocious development systems in place as a club at the time as much as anything.

It's all great but I'm not sure what the point of including Nielson in the article was exactly. Just mentioning that you can do year 12 and play football in the same year?

I think it was just so they could get his dreamy baby blues in the paper.

Does the Blogger finally have a rival?

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Both former Eastern Ranges boys.

Think both are from the sticks.

When drafted I thought he was a shore thing!
