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

[koshari]

Welcome aboard. Where you shoulda been from the start.

 

[The Nostradamus]

give him Boomer's number 29

 

[ArjenTheGreat]

Was he the original boomer clone?
Then Caleb Daniel and Jade Gresham?

Bout time we got some of Boomers IP back to assist us.

 

[Shermanator]

give him Boomer's number 29

No pressure

 

[Kanga Glory]

Good get. Sure he will provide the goods . Will play seniors next year.
Hopefully not giving up too much

A correction to Hrovat to North news. Understand North will exchange its 2017 3rd & 4th rd picks for Dogs' 2017 3rd & 4th rd picks

 

[G-Mo77]

Excellent get guys. It seems all that is required will be a downgrade of picks so an absolute steal. Great kid, wish we could have kept him.

 

[koshari]

The mail is 2017 round 3 and 4 swaps with doggies. Could be upgrades!

Might be an upgrade.

I like that we are backing ourselves - but later picks not the end of the world either way.

Yeah I just read it's 2017 exchange. Pack of thieves.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Really not much risk but cold be huge reward.
I like

 

[trooroo4life]

Another low risk trade with potentially high reward.

 

[Roozee]

give him Boomer's number 29

No.

 

[Shermanator]

give him Boomer's number 29

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.

 

[speedy]

I wasn't keen on hrovat but I like the trade.

 

[kangatragic]

Averaged 19 disposal's, 5 marks and 3 tackles a game at 70 percent efficiency from 4 games this year in a injury interrupted season and we've got him for virtually nothing.

 

[TheKanga]

He played pretty well against us in our 2nd game vs. Dogs this year from memory.

 

[Heaps of fun]

North moneyballin' this trade period.

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Hope you don't mind me putting my 2 cents in.

He should be a very handy player for you guys if he can get himself fit. Something he finally managed to do towards the end of last season. He's a good user of the ball, not overly quick but quite an evasive and very smart footballer, your forwards should enjoy being hit lace out if he can get his hands on the ball forward of centre. He also happens to be a great bloke off the field and will do everything in his power to get himself right. I genuinely hope that he fulfils his potential at Arden street, he deserves a break.

 

[kangatragic]

Good to have a wog replacement for Michael Firrito

 

[remfan101]

The guy he reminds me most of in vision is the same bloke keeping him out of the team @ the Braves- Caleb Daniel. His awareness, composure and decision making in traffic are attributes we really need, you can definitely see why he was likened to Boomer in his draft year, maybe not as quick but super agile and a smart footballer. Could be a massive bargain, and at the very least we'll have 19-25 less blind hacks a game which won't hurt

 

[Spitter9]

Will be a 200 game player if his body holds up. Bargain. Welcome Nathan.

 

[muttley45]

Maybe he can teach our guys how to handball/throw the pill really quickly, but seriously, welcome to the Roos and good luck.

 

[GarnerSmash]

Nice to have a ready to go option.

 

[deano28]

Pretty happy getting Hrovat , watched him at the championships in his draft year which he was very impressive in . There's a fair bit of Peter Bell about him
