“If no one’s passing to Jamie we can always drop him to midfield.”

Okay, so I’m don’t think Nate’s motives for suggesting this back in 2x03 were entirely motivated by an understanding how to best utilize Jamie, but he was the first to suggest that our number 9 might play in another position. That, in combination with how they both spotted Colin being open in the lastest game against City… I am very interested in seeing how Nate’s to Richmond will jell with the team’s Total Football approach and Jamie’s new position in it.

Roy does say that Nate’s great at the things Roy is shit at, and back in 3x07 Jamie had to be the one to tell the coaches how to best use him in their new game plan. You have to think that if Nate had been there, Jamie probably wouldn’t have had to that, yeah?

Think there might be something here. Something intriguing.

#hmm hmm hmm #i'm still not super onboard with nate coaching richmond in the long run #though i am VERY invested in them all renconciling!#but i can't deny the potential here...#should i have thoughts on the actual football of it all?#probably not #but there's no one here to stop me #i also think that there's some unresolved tension with nate and jamie #mostly from nathan's side #him and jamie worked together well enough after nate's initial glee at the team giving jamie a hard time upon his return #but i think - without having much basis for it - that nathan never fully let go of the fear jamie had once instilled in him #it was managed but lurking under the surface the wound of the abuse never healed #and we never say jamie explicitly make nice with nate - he apologized to the team not to the coaches #yeah i am intrigued #nathan shelley #jamie tartt #3x11 #football
