Past #8: Nathan Hrovat - won't be offered a new contract - thanks Rat

[shinboner magic]

Will be a good player

 

[TwentyNine]

No there wont be, we have our flag, our minds now are totally at peace. Seriously I reckon the rat will be great for the Roos. He is a seriously talented footballer who just needs some luck to stay fit to show what he is capable of.

I mean a laugh riot, as in we here on the Northboard would find it very funny.

I wouldn't be surprised if you guys had a little premiership hangover (I'm sure Loose Libba will be nursing one!) but I can't see you missing finals and I can't see us making finals.

Been a big fan of him from before he was drafted, so fingers crossed he can make it big at the NMFC.

Someone claiming BFNAAK on his last Instagram post. Can we confirm?

Essendon I had thought. Could be wrong though

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Geez, hope you're not as premo with the ladies mate.

 

[ozzyoslo]

Good to have a wog replacement for Michael Firrito

WOT ?

 

[Page8383]

Pretty happy with this.
Hopefully Nathan can get to the next level with us - I'm more impressed with his character references than anything else - is a fair barometer for how far a guy can go at AFL level.

Only seemed to get dropped this season after putting contract talks on hold - and this after coming back from ankle surgery.

Hopefully 2017 a step up in output for him and us

If that were the case, the club should get Boomer back to officially hand over the guernsey. It will give the club some positive PR out of a situation that was handled badly at the time and it might also give Boomer some mental closure on his career.

He invested some time into the Rat pre-draft, so the kid obviously looks up to him as a role model.

Win-win-win.

We'll probably have a fan sprinting against a tyre instead.

Worst-case scenario for this deal is we drop 17 spots in the 3rd and 4th round. But at the same time, we'd have picks one and 19.

 

[Roozee]

Be a ****en riot if we finish higher than them next year somehow.

Yeah, exactly what I was thinking if the picks being traded are correct.

While it's still a good get for us regardless, I also get a feeling of cockiness from it from the Floggies like they are expecting to go back to back and us to be wooden spooners.

We need to do this to them.......




BTW, welcome Nathan.

Welcome Nathan

Has some limitations but once he gets over some of these niggling injuries, he'll be a good player. Fell behind Hunter, Daniel, McLean and Dunkley over the past two seasons while he struggled to get on the park. I'm a little disappointed we couldn't get more out of the deal but I'm happy for Hrovat, seems like a really good guy, so hopefully he can get on the park and kickstart his AFL career again.

Not the first time I've heard that about him.

Pretty sure we're after Williams for the same reason.

Either way, I'm liking this deal. Well played, North.

Lol at giantroo taunting David King on Twitter about this deal.

He responded too.

 

[tazaa]

He responded too.

Lol is he making it out like Dale is worth a number 1 draft pick then?
Hrovat was rated as being a pick in the mid40s range.
Add Dale and that's what Goldis worth?
Kingy looks even more like a turnip.

 

[gangsta deluxe]

He responded too.

Wish he was your list manager! Your real one has done a number on us.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Earning their keep well and truly this year I reckon. Really rate how we're getting talented players in for almost nothing in a time where we couldn't look like a less attractive destination.

 

[RobZombie]

Like this deal. I'm thinking a Patch Adams type?

 

[nelroo]

with better skills and more agile. Sam Mitchell like.

 

[kangatragic]

WOT ?

I'd like to see a few more wogs in the side. WOTS wrong with that.

 

[Bren]

Welcome aboard Hrov!

 

[stefoid]

s**t sandwich for us, he is a quality person and could end up being a decent player. His problem at the dogs is he is a poor mans Caleb Daniel (strengths and weaknesses) and you cant field too many of those guys. We wish him well.

You guys better finish bottom 4...

[GarnerSmash]

Welcome Nathan.

I went to school with a Hrovat. She used to eat vanilla slices for breakfast. Well not so much eat as inhale. Well not so much inhale as open her mouth and smash the slice into its general vacinity.
