Looks good in a Demons jumper.

Both are ruck duals from this year.

He is averaging 22 hitouts, 1 goal and 13 disposals this year for Swan Districts so far.

dam i know i should not be saying this with rd 10 coming up but i really really want this kid!

Jeff White is on his last legs, Jamar although i like him a lot and i think he has been ok this year he still is not great and Paul Johnson well i think he is better in other positions on the ground.

Do you think this kid could play as a forward too?

 

see i dont know much about Rich but i think our midfield stocks are quite good?

Brock, Jones, Moloney, Grimes, Buckley, Valenti, ?:


We don't have a midfield jet. Rich is a jet.

Naitanui is an athletic freak with queries about his kicking and football smarts. I would rather a champion onballer any day, thanks.

I'd even take Michael Hurley from the Northern Knights over Naitanui. We could do with an A-grade key position prospect more than the aforementioned athletic ruckman with questionable kicking.

You can never have too many good midfielders.

atm i'm in Richs camp but there's still 4-5 months for NiKNAT or anyone to stake a claim.

Luckily for us we need a ruckman, gun midfielder and a KPP, so regardless of who we end up with we'll be happy.

with you , l reckon Rich is the go and l reckon he will be taken at no 1

We'd be mad not to take Naitinui.

There were 4 blokes who thought L. Franklin was suspect as well.

Yes Jarka, we are truly blessed :mellow:

Great. Who is he going to have to kick it to?

Take two bounces and have a shot.

They were always the instructions to the midfield whenever I played Full Forward!

Correct weight. :)

Yes, but none had queries over his football smarts or his kicking ability - merely over his temperament. All of them recognised Franklin's god-given talent.

I'm not interested in recruiting an undersized AFL ruckman with suspect kicking and suspect football smarts, regardless of how high he can jump or how fast he can run.

Yes Jarka, we are truly blessed :mellow:

Sorry, had my sarcasm level set to 'very high' when I made that post

I know...blessed are the dee-makers!

Does anyone have any footage of this Rich kid from youtube?

with you , l reckon Rich is the go and l reckon he will be taken at no 1

So we will then take Naitanui with our pick 2.

Does anyone have any footage of this Rich kid from youtube?

without being too facetious.. Google,..and Search..can be your friend!! :rolleyes::lol:

we need a ruckman?

we have:

white (I know probably last year or two)

jamar

johnson

meeson

we need another one? I'm gonna put some faith into Meeson being our number 1 very soon, for the lifetime of his remaining career.

We definately need a FF, and another gun midfielder wouldn't go astray. Judd would have helped, but we all know what happened there.


Essendon will have to make this decision not us.

They are looking worse by the week and we are not.

I go for Nat personally, for a myriad of reasons - some not football related.

But, as we can see with our future CHF Morton - you have a top 5 pick, you have a good player.

I've been on record as being pretty excitied about Natainui however I still want to see how they all go in the u/18 championships and remaining games before mkaing a decision. I'm just still shitty that abc2 are no longer showing the games from the west.

LOL - contender for comment of the year!

i am leaning towards rich or hurley. without having seen anything my judgement is not nessecarily valid, but i personally believe a gun KPP is the most important followed by a gun midiflder. ruckmen have their worth, but i think great mids make a ruck look better.similarly, mids have to have someone to kick it too.

i dont think our midfield is our weak point, and i cant imagine there being many more KPP ready over the next 2-3 years that arent snapped up by a new club...

I think giving your own midfielders 'first option' is highly desirable. The "freak" that is Naitanui might be a big plus in that regard.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
