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:

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
