Errrr, bump.

Have opinions changed from people after the carnival?

Jarka, can you now see that Rich is far less risky than Naitanui?

You missed my point. Rich is still a risk, every player drafted is, but my other main issue was not making a decision too early. I've always said that it's best to wait untill the end of the carnival and season was over before deciding.

I haven't seen all the games yet and I still want to see how they play for the rest of the season before deciding

    Nicholas Naitanui shows clubs he's a true thoroughbread

    "It would be good to stay home," Naitanui said. "I will probably get homesick if I go somewhere else.

    "But, then again, I don't mind where I go because to get the opportunity to play at an AFL club is my main dream."

    The fact that being homesick was even brought up makes me a little concerned.

    Interesting comment by ex-filth captain Nathan Buckley over the weekend.

    By his reckoning he would place NikNat around # 5 in the draft.

    NikNat paddy-whack give a dog a bone!

    Interesting comments by Dennis the menace on the telly too. He seems to have the Vibe clubs arent exactly lining up for him.. Im not sure that its Naita not being good..as much as it is Rich, Watts and a handful of others are coming on quicker....all things are relative arent they ..

    Yeah definately interesting listening yesterday. Ox seemed convinced West Coast would jump on him, but there certainly have been a lot of doubts raised about how much of that potential will be realised. Brucey seemed to echo Cometti's thoughts that teams were hoping that someone else would take the risk first. Watt's and Rich are starting from a good football base (awareness-wise) and Nick Nat has been playing catch right from the start. The big question is will he catch up to the rest, and if he does, wil he surpass them. High risk, high reward? I'm still leaning towards Watt's.

    Having seen the game, and taped it, I plan to watch it again by the way, Naitanui does look a top 5 pick. Geez he can jump! He is a goer, and plenty of upside in him. The game didn't allow Watts to have a great game. But that's how WA planned it anyway. But what Watts did, he did do well. Mitch Banner looked good. Rich was lively, but not prominent, but credit must be given to his opponent...

    Look, this year's draft has great depth. The top 8 are all good.

    NikNat is a mad Filth supporter !!!

    I'm sure if there was a chance he could play for the Filth he would take back his homesick comments....... :rolleyes:

    • 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.
