Player Watch #39: Nathan Drummond

[Tiger_Of_Old]

19 year old , don't be surprised if he plays games this year .

Cricket or soccer?

 

[Toadvine]

Sun Of?

Great grandson of indigenous activist William Cooper. Watch the youtube video above if you can. It explains it all.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Being a 19yr old,I wonder considering our lack of speed that we'll fast track his development and use him as our "Super sub" early on in the season.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Seems like a really switched on young kid. Given his indiegnous ancestry, would be great to see him also getting involved with the KGI in future, something I'm sure he'd be pretty passionate about too!

Another good pick from FJ...and he looks a bit like Vlastuin too!

 

[juss]

Given his age, size and fitness he will play the most games of this draft for us next year. I reckon he will slot in and play 12-15.

Reckon he looks more like taylor hunt to be honest

 

[Royce Hafey]

Fantastic that he's a great-grandson of William Cooper and a ranga to boot. As a fellow "light-skinned Aboriginal" I applaud this (and up yours Andrew Bolt). For this, moreover, I forgive him the cardinal sin of having a great grandfather who played for Collingwood and the perversity of barracking for Melbourne.

Doubt it, our team is a lot harder to break into these days

Straight swap for petterd IMO

 

[unfoley926]

Really excited about him, got the body and the athleticism with a solid character it seems. I love that his indigenous so agility should already be in his makeup. I want him of the HB breaking lines asap.

Is Petterd really Starting 22 when we have a fit team?
He isn't IMO which means swapping for him still won't get him in the side

When he isn't then we know our team is better. He is a roustabout at the moment and plugs holes which means those other players need to be better/passed over.

 

[docko911]

A bit harsh on Petterd had a better year than Foley Conca Vlastuin Newman Morris Gordon Grigg to name a few. Also displays the aggressive traits half our team lack which has really killed us in tough games. For me he is best 22 as long as he keeps working hard and improving.

I like the look of black fanta though, reckon Grigg will be very concerned about the blokes we have drafted. His career could be in the balance very soon.

And that's my point he shouldn't be better than Foley, Conca, Vlastuin and I think Gordon was better than him. That's also not say he couldn't just fit in the team if it all clicks into place with other players raising their levels and they thrives.

 

[Toadvine]

Not saying fanatsy points mean your are a good player but Nath was one of only 5 players to average over 100 DT points in the TAC cup this year


And two of the 5 were top 3 picks

Looks like the boys really liked Nathan , Good to see

Not sure Toad but tell me what you think - Does he remind you of Taylor Hunt the way he plays or is it just me

 

[CHIMP MAGNET]

And Didn't we bid for Steele?

Norf bid for Steele but we bid Liam Dawson. We were rumoured to be very interested in Steele though

Ahhh ok.

Steele will become a good player, I was hoping that we might get him with our 2nd
But extremely happy with Menadue

 

[HeadandShin]

Just a little bored, so I decided to have a look at the combine test results.

They seem to have updated the current year results with the best ever results (at least thats how it looks to me). Gee, young Nathan's done alright, he's in the top ten of 4 of them....
Standing vertical leap;
Repeat sprint;
20m beep; and
3km time trial.

Plenty to work with there.
Welcome to Tigerland Nathan!

 

[Blinger]

Good luck Nathan, hopefully your football is as good as your athletic ability. If it is, he could be very exciting to watch.

 

[unfoley926]

Can't wait to see the lad play!
