No footage of him kicking, deliberate perhaps?

[Yze_Magic 3]

Its old footage anyway

From early last year I think

[olgreydingo 51]

Wait til something is up on YouTube

[Demons 32 235]

Dees fans...... bow to your saviour!

[Cards13 9,117]

that was a year ago too... I like the presenter's comment too.. "one of the best prospects in the next 5 years" huh? Must be some super 12 and 13 yr olds out there

I lolled

*edit*

watched the vid. Still looks a bit awkward kicking and handballing but his work rate around the ground is good and his first couple of steps are definitely more explosive than your run of the mill ruckman.

Didn't dominate the few hitouts they showed like I thought he would (considering how much he gets talked up) and needs to learn to direct his taps better (only the last really went to anyone) if he wants to be a ruckman

I'm not so sure anymore.

We need KP players...and we certainly need at least 1 more ruckman. But I worry. We've taken an athlete who looked great, and without being a born footballer has turned out being just good in Green. Will his athleticism last? Will his skills take a long while to develop?

If he's another O'Hailpin I'd rather we look elsewhere. We don't need more frustration.

That footage is pretty old and does not show how good Naitanui is, Although that footage doesn't show his kicking that is one area that he has improved alot, and his kicking has been very good so far this year, And his taps have been exellent.

He has also grown about 5cm since that video and would be atleat 198cm now.

He is probebly the best ruckman in W.A.F.L and he has only just turned 18.

And one of the reasons his potential is so great is because he hasn't been playing footy for that long, Wich means he has so much improvement left in him

Iv'e said it once and i'll say it again, Passing up on Naitanui would be a HUGE mistake and we would end up regreting it!!.

Here is another pic of Naitanui.(for some reason i like posting pictures :D)

I've decided lower level ruckman are all pretty slow learners

[Adzman 2,154]

Nice footage of his SMASHING Kreuzer in the ruck. FREAKISH leap. The thing i like about this kid, is that he is so humble and appears willing to learn. Good attitude for an up and comer.

I am 100% sold on this kid, Naita over Rich for me!

Compared to our current ruckman it looks beyond good and his tackling skills are awesome. Imagine Davey, Wonna and him charging round the field laying takles...

[Eastie Boyz 0]

Wouldn't you prefer them charging around the ground getting kicks?

[red&blue&true 0]

Wouldn't put it past them :angry:

[dreamin' man 0]

naitanui in carlton's rooms now. just reported on radio. everyone's schmoozing w. this guy! (Port had him in the rooms two weeks ago).

[Sir Why You Little 36,965]

Get Him in Red And Blue!!!

[dreamin' man 0]

Bruce Almighty: are you also a Royal Demon? I can't go to the Swans game but will be there next week to assess Daniel Rich's claims on the No. 1 crown.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

The best part about the Blues win. They're a step closer to not getting their hands on anymore good players.
