List Mgmt. Eagles must re-sign Naitanui now - and they have

[Prem87]

It's a strange one, he doesn't have the same outwards aggression as someone like J Brown or Cousins, but I feel just as confident that he has it in him to destroy teams in September.

Naitanui has a much more controlled anger that makes him go hunt the ball.

Would love to really see him fired up and angry and turn Super Saiyen.

I thought he was getting his speed back on the weekend. Seemed to have that acceleration again when he chased down players. Looking good.

 

[KevinTaylor]

I get the feeling he is absolutely going to tear the finals series to shreds.

I have absolutely no doubt that he will lead us to the flag. I will be betting as such.

 

[Natho]

Gee wizz seems like nics really hitting his straps come the pointy end of the season. He's a scary prospect when he's winning taps and hunting the ball at ground level. So glad Melbourne didn't draft him!

NAB Cup WCE v Essendon. Game 1 Feb 2010

Commetti: Can you have a superstar, the making of one, in the first half of a NAB cup match, game 1 of the NAB Cup? We are seeing something special.


I thought I would never see him play another game as good as that one. It has taken this year to see him get close. He is almost at the cusp of obliterating the opposition.

I have tears thinking about this. Tears of joy.

Dominant, despite us being towelled

I was thinking about my absolute highlight of Naitanui's career and it came down to either his mark against Carlton, his mark and goal against North or his goal against Geelong in that final.
Now I know we were out of the game by that point but his skill to get to the player, spoil without impeding, compete with three players on the ground, control the ball and split the middle from a split second snap was incredible.

Destroying Fremantle and making Sandilands look pedestrian in our 2015 Grand Final victory is my favourite Nic Nat highlight.

He's played better games than that IMO.
2012, Rd 18 v Brisbane
2012, Rd 12 v Carlton
2015, Rd 9 v Geelong
2015, Rd 15 v Adelaide

I actually just rewatched that 2010 game (highlights) in the last 10 minutes.

And it's funny how memories / time sneaks up on a person.

I stand corrected, his game has gone way past that 2010 game. His tap ruckwork now is now on another planet.

Happy days


Time for Nic Nat to hunt.

So is he!

I have visions of naitanui being so aggressive during a final that he tackles ballantyne, lifts him off his feet and throws him over the boundary line into the fence like a rag doll.
