    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

    could be our captain sooner than we think

    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)

    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...

    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.

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

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
