Freak of Naita excites Demons

Kreuzer wasn't playing against men in the WAFL like Rich and Nat, so it would be a pointless comparison.

Kreuzer kicked 32 goals had 223 kicks, 94 handballs, 91 marks and 406 hitouts in 17 games, but yes its not really fair to compare Rich and Naitanui to him statistically.

    Stats aside, matched up against each other Naitanui took the points over Kruezer didn't he? Think he was also selected All Australian ruckman last year ahead of Kruezer.

    Feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.

    I still think those stats are fairly reasonable for young kids playing in a mens competition, Naitanui's hit out stats are excellent.

    These stats are from the WAFL, so more impressive than they actually sound for both.

    I am wondering how quick Rich is?? Adding some midfield pace would be great for the club. That said, Naita is supposedly the most athletic ruckman of his generation, and he would be a smart pick for any club going forward.

    The way I look at it is, either would be a great pickup. Their stats will only improve as they get older, so I can see both of these guys becoming stars in a few years time.

    I saw one of Natanui's games earlier this season and reckon he lost two or three hitouts all day. Amazing athleticism, just jumps all over guys with much bigger bodies than his, and his reach and so good that he can still direct the ball to a teammate rather than just get a hand to it.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?
