This from Lemmingmaster on Big Footy:

Nathan Stark - Glenelg / 180 / 71

Meat and potatoes styled player here, that with a little bulk on his light frame, I think could be a solid citizen. Not sure he is the most athletic player going around, he is certainly not the biggest player going around, but he will be found at the bottom of packs. The modern game is back to a game of contested style and I think Stark will excel that this style of game. He was listed at around 176cm for a while there, but having noticed that he is now 180cm, I have hope he may find a place on a list.

If you add some bulk onto his frame, then his game style will be even more damaging. Has a very solid handball, makes good decisions in traffic. Has the ability to draw a free kick as his head is always over the ball. His kicking is not a strong point, does not seem to have penetration, but I think he has enough tools to make it on a list.

Maybe Stark can be a poor mans Viney.

    Small midfielder who averaged 19 disposals in the under 18 champion ships for SA. Has good pace and aggression at the ball. Good pick from the Dees

    From Snoop Dog on BF:

    Nathan Stark (Glenelg / 177cm / 70kg / ’94)....
    I dont think he is quite as highly rated by others but I like him. At times in the championships I thought he was as impressive as many of the other kids out their and I draw strong links between he and say a Nathan Wright. Both probably more HB types but have the ball winning, pace and agility to be used in the midfield. Clubs will be drawn to him because he looks very coachable and he has some attributes that they value highly. Needs to add some bulk but he could be a handy selection this late.

    Suppose he will be stuck with either Iron Man or Eureka as a nick?

    How many AFL entry players weighing 70 kg make it? Seems to light for mine if the weight is correct.

    In my entire life I've only met one Nathan. I reckon each year the recruiters get together and ask "Have we got anyone out there called Nathan?".

    It nearly was!

    Nathan's a fantastic kid in that he does everything he can to be the best he can and he's got AFL all over him with effort, want, willingness to learn and preparation. The concern with him is his kicking but he had a really good state carnival where he had some good possessions and he played reserves for Glenelg and played well up forward.

    He could be a midfielder/forward type and maybe a run with player. Despite the fact he's never played that role I reckon he could do it because hes so strong, so competitive and loves to tackle.

    So his coach says

    Glenelg Talent manager actually.

    Which covers the Adelaide region and also Glenelg's zone is South East South Australia which includes leagues: MSEFL, WBFL, KNTFL.

    That quote is gold. Using a guy that's played 0 games as a reference point to demonstrate a player's ability is genius.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
