Drummond, 23, played five senior matches in what was an injury-interrupted four-year tenure at the Club.
A former Murray Bushranger, Drummond was recruited to the Tigers with pick No. 52 overall in the 2014 AFL National Draft.
“I really feel for Nathan, he has had a rotten run with injuries,” Balme said.
“He has suffered two serious knee injuries since joining the AFL system and has struggled to consistently play football.
“He has always held his head high and been the ultimate professional, even when he was going through tough patches.
“This was a difficult decision for the Club to make. We have no doubt Nathan will forge a successful career in whichever path he decides to take.”
The Clubs are certainly good on the PR these days. But sometimes I wonder about their Crystal Balls. A well worn phrase when you don't have much to offer. Not sure why it got a run here, but by all accounts did everything he could. Beaten but not forgotten Lil Drummer Boy!
