Re: Nath Is back
good luck to the kid, hope he enjoys life doing what makes him happy.

Re: Nath Is back
total crap will be back
the boy thinks being a builder is pointing to a wheelbarrow
good luck to him, but he will feel it when the club cuts the money supply
when the kid pays tax, works 12 hour days in the rain, we will see if the afl does not entice him back

Re: Nath Is back
If hes not happy being a AFL why cant everyone leave him to do what he wants to do?
Just because being a AFL player is your idear of happiness doesnt mean its his
Dont want to sound nasty or rude but IMHO we should just leave him be
Thanks and Good Luck for the finals (not that you need any of it!!!
)

Re: Nath Is back
‘JubJub’ is spot on! The gumpster is a scattergun merchant. She floats half-baked tales and when she lucks-in on one transforms into the forum blowhard yapping about how accurate her ‘inside’ info is. We don’t take her that seriously. Amusing though.
As for Nate, I wish him all the best. No one doubts his innate ability but it was rarely produced at senior level. On performance he was overrated IMHO. If he can’t commit 100% to us it’s best for all that he moves on.

Re: Nath Is back
Good Luck to him.
Played a very important role helping out Moons last year.
However, no longer required.
Foolish move IMO. But he should do what makes him happy.

Re: Nath Is back
I'd say this puts Scott Simpson's name firmly back into the mix. Has had a decent developmental season in the VFL, certainly enough to warrant another look.

Re: Nath Is back
Scotty would never have been out of the mix, surely? I'd say he is, and probably always was, tracking towards a senior game or two next season, pretty good effort for a 2nd year KPP in a successful side.

Re: Nath Is back
that depends I guess, he's now 4th in the KPP forward pecking order behind Mooney, Lonergan, Hawkins. I'm not going to pretend to know the mindset of the GFC, but I can't see them selecting more than 2 of those names at any one time, unless they shuffle some chairs in the backline. However if Egan manages to pull the boot back on I don't see it happening, and Geelong wouldn't want to select too tall as it would rob a spot from one of our many potent small forwards.

Re: Nath Is back
Sad he won't play again but good luck to him
He really mustn't have enjoyed playing that much

Re: Nath Is back
Well you are 100% correct, but by 'warrant another look', did you mean 'don't delist at the end of this season', because Nathan or no Nathan, couldn't see them delisting Simpson this season.

Re: Nath Is back
Sorry to see him go. I was looking forward to the Ablett/Hawkin combo in a few years to come. But if his heart isn't in it then no point in him going on. I guess all we can hope is a good CHF falls into our lap or develops in our drafted youngsters to take Moons place in a few years.

Re: Nath Is back
I think he did, just everything else was the problem. Unfortunately, in professional sport, the 'everything else' is just as important as the actual playing of the sport.
Re: Nath Is back
What a massive shame such a mouth-watering prospect will not materialise.

Yeah, we get it. Although proving forrrest wrong is more predictable than surprising
'if you can't handle the heat, then get out the kitchen!'
pretty sad overall, it would have been perfect with the brothers playing alongside eachother for years to come. but not to be. pretty gutsy effort by the kid to stand up for what he wants, hopefully it doesn't effect gary.
on a side note, good on him for releasing this now and not in three weeks time when we could be in a very threatening position for the 08 title.
