Nathan GORDON

2015 Digest:   Former Swan who worked his way into the best 22 as a half forward and will look to become a weekly fixture in attack in 2015. Done everything required over summer.

2015 NAB Cup:   Didn’t see much ball in two NAB Challenge matches then ran out for Richmond VFL at weekend.
