NATHAN THOMPSON

Guernsey Number: 16

Big improver both as a marking forward and ruckman. A credit to himself as he worked hard to get fit and improve his pace. Boosted his confidence with a match-winning second half against St Kilda in which he kicked three goals, played well in the ruck against Geelong in round 21 and then kicked six goals in the last game of the season. Has good leadership qualities and is not intimidated. Can play as a leading marking forward or a mobile ruckman. Difficult player for the opposition to predict. Player honors: Norwich Union AFL Rising Star nominee 1999; pre-season premiership side 1999.

Brownlow Medal: 1999 votes (4); career votes (4).
