You just have to hear Naita on both occasions he has been asked publically about it. He says he very much wants to stay home. He didnt like the attention he got while here in melbourne for un18 final.

Cale Morton is different kettle of fish mate. He has his brothers here last year, now as he is perth, just celebrated a huge family function to farewell his parents as they are moving to melbourne now. So basically his family live in melbourne now.

So there is my proof. YM, again would you want to draft a player you know wants to go home as soon as he can?

Wait a sec.. you call that proof? :blink:

    Well im calling it something!

    When you hear a guy talk about the question involved he usually speaks his mind and you can tell if they are telling the truth?

    What else would you call proof?

    AGAIN i ask Y_M - Would you draft someone to YOUR club that will not be there more than a handful of years?

    No I wouldnt.

    Luckily Naitanui hasnt said he will play 2 years at the club that drafts him then go home.

    from the outset Watts doesnt have as much potential (as Nata) and isnt the best player at this point in time (Rich), so why the hell would you pick him!!!

    Clearly you would take Nata or Rich depending on your willingness to gamble

    All Watts offers atm is; vic kid and plays forward which melb needs as much as we could use dominant mids

    You say this based on what? Media hype? 2 mins of Youtube highlights??

    Unless you have watched hours of all 3 of these kids playing you can't make that sort of assessment

    So a 17 year old kid who wins the best player at the U/18 championship, and who grew up playing basketball as his first choice sport doesn't have much potential.......

    no he doesn't..

    he has A SHITLOAD of potential

    and also a bucket load of skill

    No i havnt watched them play since U12 and nothing is certain, that is the idea of a rookie draft. But with the media and scouting reports making these assertions, it is fair claim. Why is it that WCE and Freo have stated there interests in Rich and Nata respectively (and its not because there WA boys forever, thats crap).

    So every1 is on the Watts bandwagon just because hes kicked a game winning goal and the Larke medal. That definately earns him the spot light over the other blokes who have been heavily scrunized since last years U18 championships

    Nothing is known for certain, you draft based on potential and existing talent

    But has he shown he likes a contest. I hear not.

    MFC has a recent history of 'silky skills'. Give me someone who likes a contest, as well as some skills.

    very true.

    chris johnson isn't 'soft' but is used like an outside player

    Vickery is the safest bet!

    Jack Watts is definately firming stronger than Ron Jeremy at this point.

    Change the thread to jack watts- definite numer 1 pick. i'm willing to bet on it

    Watts won't play in 2009.

    Not so sure about that. He may just play more than half the season.

    I hope your referring to early Ron, towards the end not even viagra was helping him. He had to hold the base and squeeze to make it resemble firm. :lol:

    Now that we all know for certain that Jack will be picked up with our 1st pick, the next most important decision to make is what number to give him.

    The following numbers are avilable next season:

    4

    9

    13

    28

    34

    43

    I would like to make the call that he takes over the famous #9, even though the jumpers worn be champions of the club are usually retired for a year.

    If not Jack should definately then take #4 and the #9 should go to Chris Johnson.

    But number 9 is my preference.

  • Quote

    They should retire number nine for a season or 2 give watts number 4

  • Quote

    Give Watts the 4 IMO. He needs his own number...

    Then when Watts retires we will be debating who gets the 4

    very true.

    Sorry, but he's as soft as butter.

  • Quote
    Pretty sure Buddy and Jack are exactly the same height at DC and were both in 10th height position.

    So he did make a top 10 list ;)

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • 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.
