With Warnock signing on as a sanitation worker, Melbourne will take Natanui with the first pick in the 2008 national draft. In that, they get a 10 year ruckmen of the likes no one has ever seen before. The MFC is a boring club PERIOD. At the end of the day whilst Warnock would have been paid siginificantly more amounts of money at Carlton he has nominated them as his preferred club because of their exciting future. This is not just about Melbourne's need for a ruckmen, it is about Melbourne's need to be an eye catching club, we need to give ppl a reason to want to watch us. Taking Natanui is the start of an exciting dynasty at Melbourne.

At picks 17 we will take Cornellius and the next best midfielder at #19.

Lets face it next year we'll be bottom next year and probably won't win more than 4 games. Watts won't have nominated and Butcher will be eligible, let's take both those kids and marvel in 2010 how exciting our club is.

We should take Cousins in the PSD too.

Imagine this!

Rd 1 2009 MCG. Crowd 51,000. The match has been built up all week about the return of Cousins. First centre square bounce Natanui, McLean, Jones and Cousins all walk in. OMG! :o

Good to see you've got an imagination.

I dont think we'll take Naitinui. We just need to pick up a decent ruckman with Pick 17 or 19.

we can't afford to waste any of our top 20 picks. they all need to be successful. therefore we should NOT take a ruckman. they take 4 yrs to develop and are a big risk they will turn into nothing!

quality ruckman can be found late in the draft and in the rookie draft----

see Cox (rookie), Sandilands (Rookie), Warnock (pick42), Griffin (rookie), Jamar (rookie) etcetcetc.

No he won't, people can come in their droves to watch Jack Watts apply his trade from an early age. Nice imagination though Neita.......Walt Disney is funding a new movie their making, there after just these types of imagination for a new blockbuster! You can call them on 1800IMAGINE.

Im actually starting to like the idea of Naita.

To be honest im not so one minded like other posters. I would be happy with Watts or Nait, both will be great so it's a win-win.

Plus both players will take 4 years to develop.

You shouldn't let the marketing department make recruiting calls.

He's Fijian, has a leap, is athletic, and has crazy hair. Great.

If he doesn't develop into an A grade footballer it is a wasted pick, no matter the extra excitement he will bring for a short time.

Watts is a bottom age player who looks like he can play CHF, FF, Wing or all three (Richo). I have argued that Naita could do the same, but one is a great footy player and the other is an great athlete learning to play footy.

I'm gonna ignore the Cousins rubbish.

Turn our attention to Mundy, he can has one thing going for him than most our current players he can hit targets by hand and foot.

Yeah I agree. If we do set our sights on Mundy, lets chase hard.

Whilst I would have liked to get Warnock, it is not the end of the world if we don't. Spencer has come along in leaps and bounds and the club is very impressed with him. He is only 20 next year, I think, and has a tremendous upside. Jamar will finally convince all next year that he is a VFL ruckman, not an AFL one; Spencer to get a couple of games next year before getting a full gig in 2010.

Jack Watts would still make more sense at Melbourne, not Natanui.

Who cares about Warnock - The guy will def only be a 2nd rate ruckman at Carlton.

I'm not sure about everyone else but I think PJ showed us a lot this year. Furthermore, we have a few more ruckman in our arsenal like Jamar, Spencer, Meesen etc.

It's not all bad. Plus, who knows what the draft might bring. Not to mention the pre-season draft.

And Demons32, nice stab at everyone too with your 'not so one minded' comment.

How would you like it if someone said something like that to you?? Shame.

Natanui will be three years away from commanding the No 1 ruck role (if he ever does) at senior level. By that time we will have Spencer coming through.

You always sit on the fence.

Naitinui is doing fine at WAFL senior level. I think he would be preferred to Jamar in Round One, 2009 should we select him.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
