Bio
Recruited from West Perth with pick 24 in the 2004 National Draft, Nathan Van Berlo established a reputation as the ultimate professional during his 12 seasons at West Lakes. Possessing elite endurance and a fierce work rate, he developed into a disciplined midfielder capable of executing tight run-with roles while also winning his own ball. His dedication to training standards saw him elevated to the club captaincy in 2011, a position he held for four seasons as he helped guide a young list through a transitional period following the departures of several club greats.
Van Berlo's career hit a significant hurdle in the 2014 pre-season when a freak accident involving a weighted sled resulted in a ruptured Achilles tendon, forcing him to miss the entire year. Although he returned to senior football in 2015, the pace of the game and the emergence of younger midfielders made it difficult for him to hold a permanent spot in the best 22. He retired at the end of 2016 as a 200-game player and Adelaide Life Member, remembered more for his selfless leadership and defensive accountability than for accumulating high possession counts.
