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 ;)

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
