Important Read!!

We just need to continue trying to win games and developing a winning culture.

IMO, this is the bottom line. This is more important than any number one draft pick, and it needs to reverberate all through the club - from board level to the guys who take the field each week.

For far too long, near enough has always been good enough for the MFC. We have had a terrible culture.

As much of a freak as Naita seems to be, I'd happily pass him up knowing we're going to get a talented kid anyway, a kid who is going to come into the club knowing that not giving 100% each week is not good enough.

Provided we have the good enough men in the coaches box, whoever we draft should turn out to be a player.

That is spot on. Create a winning culture and the support/marketability will follow. Geelong are now highly marketable because they are number one. And their most marketable player is a shortish, balding white guy in Garry Ablett Jr. Why, because he's a superstar. The way I see it, we need a star forward to really take us anywhere. If Naitanui can be this player then take him or if Watts is best suited to it then take him. I have a lot of faith in the current football staff with where we are going and am confident they will make the right decision.
