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 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

Vickery is the safest bet!

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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
