With Naitanui locked in at pick 1, how will the rest pan out.



Recommended Posts

Posted

Lets face it - not even the Melbourne Football Club is stupid enough to overlook Naitanui with pick 1 in the National Draft.

The chance is there to draft a freak of nature unseen beofre at AFL level, who also happens to be a fine footballer too.

Barring a complete and utter stuff up by oyr recruiting staff, Naitanui will be a Demon.

Which makes the rest of the draft very interesting. Obviously Rich will go to the Eagles at pick 2.

Where Jack Watts ends up will be the interesting one.

I have Freo taking Hartlett, and Port taking Hurley.

Which will allow Essendon to take Watts at pick 5.

Anyway, it should be very interesting. And I look forward to rocking up to Round 1 next year and seeing the Fijiian marvel blow the crowd away with feats never before seen on a footy field.

It won't happen YM. We are far more depleted in the forward line than the ruck, and that is why we will take Watts. I think the club fancy the kid Spencer to fill the ruck in the next couple of years, and Newton is not our answer up forward

Watts is average.

His stock will fall as the draft nears.

8 goals in 6 TAC Cup games is an abysmal return.

Vickery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come on, be serious brother.

We will get Watts. 8 goals from 6 games in the TAC cup is a very good return considering he was being played in the midfield.

Getting Naita will be a brainfade from the MFC recruiters.

BTW i know for a fact that if we pass on Watts and get Naita (shudder) Freo will snap up Watts. They are very keen.

I have a feeling it won't come to that. Either we will indicate that we're going to take him or he will hold off nominating till next year.

You sound pretty confident that Nat will go to Melbourne with pick 1. I think that is unlikely, but not because of incompetence at MFC headquarters, rather, the exact opposite.

What odds would you take/pay?

Watts played back and in midfield during TAC cup.

Did well midfield, not so great down back, by all accounts.

Is a star up forward. Should go number 1. Has no question marks like Naitanui does.

Stop obsessing and relax - any of those three are a good pick up, though Watts seems to be the general first choice.

I am so deadly serious brother! We have pick 1 and should'nt have to kill for him. Ha Ha! Vickery for me. I think everybody is caught up with Mr. Watts. His bulb is blown.

This looks like fun.

We will take Naitanui at pick 1, and he'll make his debut in Round 1 next year, quickly establishing himself as our number 1 ruckman, our premier midfielder and our full forward all at the same time. He will win every single ruck contest he engages in, and his general strategy will be to tap the ball to himself, so that he can run it out of the centre to the 50 metre arc, bomb it into the forward line and outrun the ball to take the mark in the goal square. Sylvia will constitute our entire backline and not a single goal will be kicked against Melbourne for the entire year; on the rare occasion that the opposition have a set shot for goal, Sylvia will take a 30 metre vertical leap to make the defensive mark (sometimes he'll even get his jumper caught on the goalpost, and they'll have to get a cherry picker to help him back down). The other 20 players in the side will be instructed to stand on the boundary line for the entire game so they don't get in the way.

Watts wont get picked up in the PSD; Geelong will take him in the rookie draft. Even then, they will come to regret it; he will go down as literally the worst footballer in history, and everyone who sees him play (in Geelong's VFL reserves team) will die a little inside.

shame you wrote all that...

cos watts will be number 1, and will be playing for this club for a v long time. and for you to insult not only him but geelong is very low.

That was fun, you get the 3 votes ahead of Y_M with 2 votes. Congrats!

Yes, he does. There's doubt he likes a contest (read hardness). I'm sick of 'silky skills' at MFC. Must have hardness to go with skills.

No such doubt with Naitanui or Rich, or a number of other skilled players in the draft.

What a hoot! :lol: Loved the bit about outrunning the ball. :lol: :lol:

How can you be sick of silky skills?? :o

It's not like we have an abundance of them at the MFC... and considering the game is getting softer and softer im not sure hardness is such an issue.

yes and no. hawthorn are in the gf because of lance franklin, lets be honest. yes their midfield is tough and great but you can't credit them being in the grand final without mentioning buddy.

Posted
If you took away Buddy imo they'd still be the second best side in the comp

Very true, Franklin is a gun but they have a very good even team with a smart coach. They also have a couple of other elites in Hodge and Mitchell.

No way that'll happen, Melbourne will go Watts. KP forward's don't grow on trees.
