it doesnt look to me like watts is the type to line players up and clean em up. if thats what you mean by physical or tought then maybe he doesnt have those things.

but it doesnt look like he will shirk a contest, he can use his pace and agility to evade instead of needing to crunch and has shown he is more than happy, and able, to take big marks in physically contested situations like packs.

why clean someone up if you can pick the ball up and step around them?

I believe that we will take Naitanui at one!!!

Last week.

A conversation.

A couple of the West Coast heavy-hitters were in Melbourne and were asked how they thought the draft would unfold. Without hesitation one of them replied "Melbourne will take Watts, because if they take Naitanui, we [WC] will have him back within three years."

WHo thinks Saint Nick is tough.... He is a great player without cleaning anyone up and I would love him in our side, I think Watts will be a similar player to him rather than someone like Brown

Yeah, i started writing a post to that effect before i saw yours.

It took Reiwoldt a few years to bulk up too, but he became a hulk.

I know this thread is not really Reiwoldt but I reckon he's the toughest guy in footy with what he goes thru and puts in. Tough is about what's hard to do and that's not taking someone out because they're better than you.

Watts a sandy boy

Oswald a Sandy Man

Oswald strangely decided to quit his post of two weeks as development coach for MFC

Something fishy is going on?

Perhaps Oswald disagreed with MFC on draft selcetions?? in particular number 1

:huh:

Suggest that you go out to your local newspaper repository and by a copy of the current edition of Inside Football which quotes Lee Harvey Oswald on Watts (twice). I think you'll find he's pretty happy with Watts and I doubt we're going to pick anyone else. Even if we do, it's not his job to recruit and if that's the reason for him pissing off (highly doubtful) then that decision is a great one!

SHAFTY i think you will find that he has a good grasp on the talent coming through champion....... more than most i would suggest!!!!

and i do think he would be sitting in on meetings to discuss draft choices..... yes!!!

and i do think that perhaps that he didnt see eye to eye with the current MFC recruitin/football dept.... hence him leaving after two weeks.......

Well done Goose. Never let important facts get in the way of idle speculation. :rolleyes:

I have never read nor seen any of the above.

No need to see it now RR, Goose gave you a preview. You said yourself. Never let good facts get in the way of idle speculation.

I did write a reply, but I think you're getting far too much of a reaction as it is.

Back in your box princess.

You are joking. Matlock like me is one of the few lawyers in the world to win every case.

Incorrect again Goose. :lol::lol:

I'm glad it puts a smile on your face champ. ;)

PS. If you put your a## on the line and actually backed it up with hard facts, you wouldn't face ridicule from fellow posters.

Moment of truth Goose, prove Naitanui is mfc's No.1 pick then.... ;)

Well HT my comments on Stephen Hill going earlier than expected and perhaps in the top three picks from my source over in the west wasnt to bad as it seems!!!

From the article: -

Fremantle has not commented on its selection so we don’t know yet if they are genuinely considering Hill or just leaking information to bluff opponents.

And bluff Goose.

oh and for the record i hope my view on natanui is wrong.. trust me i really do... i have made that clear!!!!! so much so i would happily cop it from you and anyone else if we do go watts!!!

Yeh right.....crystal clear. :wacko:

Name your source then, Goose. Still waiting..... :P

If I was in Goose's position I wouldn't name a source (regardless of whether I had one).

Understandable to cop flak for it though.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
