[Quote : Part of his attraction was that he seemed to do everything on natural talent alone. People loved that he wasn't one for training; he just wanted to play footy. That he could be erratic. That he wasn't one for the business or the enterprise of footy. He was somehow outside the system, never on the conveyor belt of the industrial complex that football was becoming, during his time.

No-one doubted his ability. But after a short stint at Hawthorn in 1982 he decided VFL footy wasn't his go. He disappeared up north........]


Quote from article posted by DF in the Age footy legend thread.

Does the first paragraph quoted sound familiar? Just read Nathan for Gary senior and you can see where Nathan is at. The second paragraph has a ring about it too except Nathan had a short stint at the cats.

I still reckon he is his father's son and will be too strongly attracted to the Sherrin to not have a second go. He will probably also walk out again at some stage - like his dad did. BUT if he does play I also think he has the potential to be a third high quality ablett (if not a great).
