Nathan Blee (born 7 September 1990) is a professional Australian rules football player at the Port Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He was recruited by the club in the 2011 National Draft, with pick #51. Blee made his debut in Round 20, 2012, against Hawthorn at York Park.^[1]

Nathan Blee drafted East Perth with \ with Port Adelaide's last pick in the 2011 draft (pick 51). Mainly drafted as a KPD depth player. Named in the WAFL team of the year as a fullback in 2011 prior to being drafted. Experienced glandular fever in his first pre season with Port Adelaide Nathan Blee started the year without making a fuss, playing his role in his SANFL side (North Adelaide) but not excelling to any degree. Around halfway through the year North Adelaide (SANFL) coach Josh Francou decided to play Nathan up forward and on the wing, where he excelled kicking numerous goals and finding some good form. This form was justified with a debut into AFL against Hawthorn in round 20. Not standing out in any of his four games, only averaging 6.75 disposals per game. Showing some signs of class that showed why he was getting picked but also some questions of his courage have risen after not being 100% committed to a few contests. Next year the expectations on Nathan would be to become a fitter stronger player, by getting in a full pre season and then probably pushing to play 10+ games next year.
