Jack Watts looks a standout from his video.

Stephen Hill, Hamish Hartlett, Bart McCulloch and Jamie Sheahan also look impressive.

Sorry if this has been posted already.

Yeah Watts looks a clear standout. WOuld love to get him. Just hope we get pick 2 or 3 so we dont 'have' to get Naitanui

He has that basketball 'hang time' when he jumps for a mark. He's at the top of my wish list. If we get Watts and say a Walters or Stephen Hill with our second, I'll be grinning ear to ear.

After looking at the tape of both Watts and Rich...................i was more impressed by Rich!

Booming kick & tackling is impressive.

Would definately take him over Watts

Although that last pack mark from Watts was great

looks like Rich has a good brain & will be a star, but I think we need a full potential watts more.

dam do the people who have the final call on who we pick have some pressure on them, one of the top 3 this year will end up a mega star, and another 2 could flop badly!

On a horses for courses basis Watts would be better suited.

Maric, Grimes, McLean, Valenti etc etc etc can all play in the midfield but Newton aside there's not really anyone on the list atm that looks capable of being a 6'3" + marking forward.

Can't rely on the smaller guys to kick goals every week (which is why the Bulldogs are much better with Hahn returning from injury, Welsh and having Hudson/Minson up forward)

I know what you mean Bingo. However i think because of a lack of Tall forwards that we will target Watts.

yesterday I was leaning toward Watts.

But after weatching that Natanui video I am back on the bandwagon.

What a freak.

Just had a look at the vids again. Lewis Johnston looks amazing. Great kick, Great Hands I'm surprised know one has mentioned his name.

Watts reminds me of a young David Schwartz in the way he takes a mark.

But Naitanui is freaky...his reflexes and attack on the man with the footy are amazing.

.

If he is as good as the pre-knee 1994 Schwarz, the MFC rebirth will be well and truly underway.

I don't care if he can't kick. The fact that most people have Rhys Palmer as rising star favourite should tell you how much weight kicking ability holds at these boys' age. If you're a beautiful kick, well and good, but it is definitely something that you can improve in a season or two (Daniel Cross anyone?). Niknat is a NikNUT. A disgustingly good athlete for his size. Rich also looks impressive, but something about him screams SYLVIA (can't quite put my finger on it though).

Watts appears to have nice hands - that pack mark against 3 Vic Country opponents was a beauty. Seems like a contender, but at this stage, it's Niknat by a dread.

Nik Nat for me, there is no way that someone with that size and athletic ability couldn't be developed into an Adam Goodes or Buddy Franklin. I would love to see him take marks like Watts though. Rich strikes me as a bit of a Dylan Smith (former pick 6 who had stints at Freo and Nth).

Nik Nat also speaks well and appears to have a good head on his shoulders.

I was looking at McKernan also, he looks the goods, and has a good solid build already which may speed his progress up.

NikNat's attack on the footy and athleticism is impressive, Rich knows how to find it, but I'd like to see how quick he is as I think the Dees need a bit more pace through the midfield.

Watts looks like a solid option also. It's a tough call for mine at this stage.

Except both those were drafted with outstanding football brains wheres Natanui is coming from a fair way behind in that regard

Some points I took away:

Natanui!!! His attack on the ball carrier is breathtaking, like a huntsman spider attacking prey. Ruck tapwork is good, but his pace and agility look amazing, the new Adam Goodes, if he can just get his fundamental skills up to scratch he's gotta be a big shout for number one.

I'm looking primarily at the talls and was very impressed with McKernan's size, long kick, marking ability and pace. Almost the complete package there.

Watts does look good, but didn't see anything that put him clearly in front of anyone else on that video.

Rich is Libba with a Shaun McManus wig! Very nuggety but I very much doubt this kid's going to be picked in the top two. His size is a big concern for mine.

Sidebottom looks pretty mobile for a big man as well. Love ruckmen that can cover ground and take contested marks, looks an ideal replacement for Jeff White.

Wish they'd show more of the kicking skills of some of these players.

Here's my priority list

1. Nick Nat

2. Watts or McKernan (couldn't split them based on that evidence)

4. Sidebottom

5. Rich

If we could pick up two out of that list in the draft, I'd be thrilled to bits.

Did you make that list by watching 2 mins of footage?

I myself can’t wait to watch all the televised games on Wednesday

    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

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
