Player Watch #15: Atu Bosenavulagi - Pies trade Stevo, Atu, R2(39) for R2(26),R2(33) & R4(70)- Welcome to North Melbourne R2

[The Filth Wizard]

the way I put it will sound cooler in years to come and why let the truth get in the way of a good yarn?

Hey, we managed to pull off having a rising star from two years ago as steak knives for a bloke picked in the 70's as an NGA

I suspect R2 was seen as gettable earlier on. Looks like jaiden was a case of being in the right place at the right time with the right amount of salary cap.

 

[The Y Factor]

I like this pick.

Cost nothing, plays our type of footy, fills a gap as a quick attaching small forward that can pressure while still kicking goals, young, fun to watch and has already had a taste so should work hard preseason.

Boom or bust I guess but if he clicks - hell be fun to watch!

Curious about this kid. Had never heard of him and thought it was a made up name when he was first mentioned.

Has anyone watched his games in entirety or had any awareness of him pre-draft?

If he can even match a 2014 Nahas role I'd be happy enough. We've had no swooping opportunist types since Robbie and LT.

Not me.

The length of his contract will be interesting.

I saw his first (?) game for the Pies where he looked pretty exciting. Was very quick. The follow up games weren’t as good, I think I saw one where he just didn’t seem to get involved.

Most skinny 18 year old kids are at least 2 seasons away from playing regular AFL, much less taking on all the strategic crap that comes along with it.

Yeah he was promising but could go either way. He will always be quick though and that’s a bonus for us.

AB: I want to have a big pre-season and prove myself here. I don’t mind where I play. It’s a great club with some great young players.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Reinforcing that Atu was the earlier target and wrapped up separately, sounds from that.

So The Other Stevo was steak knives.

Looks the part.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Cunners-like with that expression.

 

[InFineForm]

Looks the part.

I've got the faith with him. I've just got a feeling he can be way better than steak knives. Having a mate who's involved in the International footy I saw his name & watched his first game. He's got plenty of dash, and I reckon he'll just get better & better for a couple of years yet. Here's hoping anyway!

 

[Twinkletoes]

Looks the part.

Has the stern look down pat already.

Had no idea we planned this a fair way out. Interesting.

Also, he’s the ice man.......super chill. Wasn‘t buying into the Treloar garbage.

 

[Engimal v3]

I'm all for injecting a bit of speed into the side. Hope he goes well.

 

[Caracas]

He certainly does have the Tristan Xerri

I can't tell if he's happy to be at North or hasn't realised he's at North yet.
