Can't wait for the Matchups

Naitanui is a matchup nightmare for opposition coaches when up forward.
You would expect him to get the no 1 key defender while resting up forward.
This will take the pressure off our key forwards.
I can't wait to see how opposition coaches approach this .
The Hawthorn example was interesting.
Fun times are a comming.

if he is in the forward line ide play Davey on him and make NicNat9 chase him all day, but i hope thats not the case

If you did that NN would get put in the goalsquare and the F50 left empty.

Absolutely Marlin and at every occasion we would give Priddis the ball to deliver it into the 50 with his up and under kicks so it lands on Naita's head.

Brown, Kennedy and Naita... all athletic, all good below the knees (Kennedy prob the worst but still good), all can kick multiple goals (Browny has it in him), all can work inside the 50 or outside playing a lead up CHF role. Brown can go back and help out in defence, Brown and Kennedy can interchange between CHF and FF, Naita can ruck in the forward 50 and can play on ball.

And then theres Notte....

As far as tall forwards go we are pretty blessed. We dont have a Franklin/Roughhead, Brown/Bradshaw combination just yet but we have 4 blokes to choose from and allot of flexibility.

Add LeCras to that who can mark like a tall forward, is also a great lead up forward and can crum goals with the best of them. McKinley in a FP also deserves a mention.

Just need to clone LeCras and add a true HF player (Ebert) and our forward line is set for the next ten years.
