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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
