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 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
