Looks as though he can kick both sides so thats always a plus.
The possibility of physical and mental collapse is now very real. No sympathy for the Devil, keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride.

I liked another tall kid from swans Dylan Smith. The one i would have loved for us to get was Marcus Adams from wp. Real good size and at 22 ready to go. The other was Hartley the best state league kpd in the country imo.
Was Jesse Glass- McCasker drafted also from swan districts another real athlete and lovely size at 196/92.
I see Sam Menegola got drafted at 66 good luck to him if state league form is an indicator he will do well this time around.

Glass-McCasker missed out, claw. Available in the rookie draft.

From the Richmond recruiters
richmondfc.com.au
24 November 2015


Playing as a dashing defender, Nathan enjoyed a strong season at WAFL level with Swan Districts, averaging 20 disposals in 20 games.

The 22-year-old also managed to shut down some of the most dangerous forwards in the WAFL competition.

Broad was a standout at the West Australian state screening in October, running 24.04 seconds in the repeat sprint (better than any player in the national Combine) and recording a third-best beep test (level 14.1).

Originally from Wubin (about 250km north east of Perth), Nathan relocated to Perth when he was 16 and attended Governor Stirling High School on a sports scholarship.

Having been part of the Swan Districts’ development program for five years, he will enter the AFL system as a ready-made, mature-age player, who has the athleticism and competitiveness to play on tall and small forwards.

Hartley was taken after our third pick.
