Did laugh when he had a shot from 35 and ran out to thw right chasing extra distance on his kick!!!

Not his finest moment but he kicked from a couple steps inside the 50. Not 35. No need to exaggerate.

As everyone has pointed out, great offensive and defensive performance, just probably left it too late.

I really hope we don't ditch this bloke, has shown to be a very serviceable player who can come in and do a job. Just the players we need. Let's not do a hartung and get rid off the bloke before we really don't need him.

 

[shintemaster]

Trying too hard at AFL level now in some ways. He eats those shots up in the VFL. Feel for him, think he is a real goer, just 10-15cm too short, not big enough and not fast enough to make up for the previous 2.

 

[tazaa]

Play him as a midfielder. He can contribute and you never know.
God knows he has the hunger.
Not against him heading to the Suns and topping up his super if it’s not with us.

Yeah, they should just do a straight swap for Fiorini.

[scottywiper]

Not a shock. Seemed a ripper fella who just didn't have the tools to overcome his lack of size.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Does everything to an acceptable level.

Unfortunately, that's not conducive to an extended AFL career.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Can't knock him for trying, he really gave it his all and he seems like he's a top bloke. All the best Rat, you had a very decent last run of games to try seal a new deal.

Good set of skills, can corral an opponent very well, it's a shame his size lets him down in those areas.

 

[kangaspurs]

Talented, smart footballer who just doesn't quite have that point of difference to be a consistent, long-term AFL player. Good luck to him. He seems like a really good fella.

 

[Go_Roos!]

Good luck Rat!

 

[ozzyoslo]

Thanks for your services Nathan, you can always say you were an AFL footballer.
And there's no shame in that fact.

 

[Keith Ape]

All the best Hrovat. Hope you stick around in our VFL side.

 

[gokangas]

Good luck to Nathan - had a crack and should be a good bit of footy left in him. This decision was stamped well before today - why did we give him a run on Saturday? Seems pointless in hindsight.

There's an exodus over in Fremantle.....investigate it out.

 

[hilly]

Classy exit.

 

[Roo Beauty]

Thanks Rat. Superstar bloke, got the best out of himself I’m sure. All the best.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Can’t fault the bloke for his professionalism and ability to get the best out of himself.

He has been a fantastic clubman over the past 3 years.

A real shame he wasn’t 5cm taller!

Best of luck in the future Nathan.

Lotta respect for him fronting up like this in the face of news no player would enjoy to hear.

 

[Kangayroo]

Gave it a crack, wasn’t to be. Always had a soft spot for the little fella, and such a professional and gracious exit.

Godspeed, Hover Rat.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Best of luck Rat.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Kudos to Rhyce also for at least giving the bloke a crack before arriving at a decision.
