Is NickNat back this week?

Heh, I don't think reserve games get too much attention unless there is a star playing in it, even then they'd probably just give updates.

Thanks for that Mitchzz...wishful thinking I guess.

Anyone know yet how Naitanui went today in the reserves?

flipping huge!

Naitanui finished with two kicks, five handballs, two marks, eight tackles and eight hit-outs.

He started the first three quarters on the ground, but came off at the 10-minute mark of each term for a rest.

7 disposals playing 30 minutes, plus 8 tackles, 8 hitouts and 2 marks.

Nothing spectacular, but solid.

Holy shit, what a beast.

Just good to see that he got through unscathed.

7 disposals in 30 minutes in the position he played was quite good considering that it sounds like the ball wasn't coming his way to often.
Combine that with the tackles that he made, the marks and hitouts, it was a pretty successful return.
Give him another reserves game before promoting him to the league side for a couple of games before he makes his AFL debut.
