2008 national draft, and the Demons have the first crack at all available junior talent.

One kid stands head and shoulders above the rest in terms of pure ability, athleticism and potential. Its obvious that this kid has the capacity to wreak havoc on opposition sides like no player before him.

And for the record, that player is not Jack Watts.

Huge blunder by the MFC recruiting staff, and now the fans must suffer for the next decade.

Naitanuui, Scully, Trengove, Grimes.... the greatest starting centre set up in the history of the game. Multiple flags guaranteed through midfield dominance taken to a new level.

Too bad it can only be a dream.

Amazing what some conclusions amateurs will come to after one pre season game. Who did Essendon play in the ruck ?

And there I was thinking it was Morton.

Thats irrelevant.

Look at the tools the kid possesses.

Nobody will be able to stop him.

It's like the 1984 NBA Draft & a team passing up on drafting Michael Jordan.

Naitanui played against Bock , who is a rookie ruckman. And Bellchambers who isn't a ruckman.

We'll see how he performs against a proper ruck outfit.

Gippy

Sounds like someone needs their ego stroked

I was watchn the game last night and knew this thread would eventuate. I`m just a little surprised the great Y_M would return with such a naive post. I wouldve thought an uneducated schoolkid may have started this thread. Great to have you back nevertheless, you`ve been missed, seriously!!

You should have stayed away.

Now my IQ has to drop everytime I come online.

Also I hear they have treatment for prematurity these days...

As good as he was, he had loads of clangers. He can jump and tackle but can he really kick as well as Watts. Who cares, he would have been high risk, just as likely to run back home to mummy.

Yes Naitanui will be good. We went for Watts. He also will be good. We could have gone for Naita but we didn't, and if your aunt had a **** then she'd be your uncle. Forget it!

I'll stop being mean when you stop polluting my brain.

I wasted a whole minute reading and then fighting the urge to reply to this nonsense, only to fail and spend another minute trying to control just how mean I was going to be to you.

As well as Naitanui played last night, he is still an average kick at this stage. He looks to handball at every opportunity because he has little confidence in his kicking..No doubt he's a terrific prospect, but Jack will be a star in his own right, and possibly better given 'TIME'...

Watts 'will' reach Riewoldt's level in time & clowns like you will be made to eat their words. He will be a premier KPF in 5 years time, but I guess that's too long for the goldfish brain crowd to wait..

Yze_Magic, you could fit the amount of football knowledge you have onto a savoury biscuit mate...and that's probably being generous.

No need for personal attacks.

Watts wont ever reach Riewoldts level. You can bookmark that.

I was the guy who supported Sylvia all the way through while every other MFC fan had given up on him.

And look how that turned out.

I will also be right with Naitanui/Watts.

Agreed.

Look at the bigger picture...you're dismissing an 18 year old after 3 games in which we were belted?

We would've been crazy to pick any other player than Watts in that draft, he dominated the under 18s.

Best of luck to Nic, I'm sure he'll be a fantastic player...maybe better than Jack. But far out, at least wait until Jack matures and has a few seasons under his belt before writing him off.

Posted

havent been on for ages..

Nic Nat will be good, so will Watts...Time it will take with Watts..so i wont regret not picking up Nic Nat..Cause we got Jurrah who is just as athletic and exciting

Anyway...didnt u retire from forum posting YM? Word was you were getting drafted into the AFL?? haha

YM, whilst I dont always, in this case I agree with you 100%.

Make no mistake, passing on naitinui will go down as one of the biggest draft blunders in the history of the game. He's like nothing the AFL has ever seen, and he hasn't even gotten started. Watts may end up being a good key forward, he may even end up being a great one - but naitinui will be a bona fide, sport changing legend. And we could have had him..

And by the way, I resent the statement about every other MFC fan going off sylvia! I was always behind him and proclaimed he would be a superstar, even through the 'bad' years - as older posts of mine will show ;)

Posted

I don't think going for Jack Watts over Nic Naitanui was a mistake. The simple fact is that one is from Victoria and the other from Western Australia. Imagine Naitanui got homesick? It would be a disaster. I also think Watts is incredibly talented and full of class. Melbourne could do with a player like that, someone with a hint of arrogance about them. What I really want to hear is that Watts is working hard. Naitanui clearly has really pushed himself over the pre-season and I felt really happy to see him perform.

Naitanui played against Bock , who is a rookie ruckman. And Bellchambers who isn't a ruckman.

We'll see how he performs against a proper ruck outfit.

ps: Welcome back YM!!!

We saw how he goes against a proper outfit when Jamar dismantled NicNat last year. I was embarrassed for him.

That said, he will be a gun...but who's to say Watts won't be as well?

Besides, with Spencer showing promise and Gawn a prospect, how many ruckmen do we want?

I agree. His performance against the Dees last year was farcical. It was great to see a kid work really hard and show his potential. That's what I want to see from Watts -- just working really hard and getting the best from his talent.

It's funny how short people's memories are..

Jamar, a 'mid-level' AFL ruckman absolutely destroyed Naitanui. It would have been truly embarrassing for Nic if he hadn't have been a 1st year player.

Funny how no one made a big deal of that..but apparently Watts is a hack after 3 AFL senior appearances, so go figure...

KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
