Analysis Naitanui - someone taught him how to take a mark!

Phenomenal number of repeated efforts in that clip from Nicnat - I was puffing halfway through just from watching it - only for Masto to fail to finish off the hard work.
MASTO SCORING TALLY FOR 2015: 0 goals 7 behinds

Masten has stepped it up this year but his goal kicking has been so bad considering his 2012 where he kicked 19 goals.

He may have had four but his continual dropping of sitters is unacceptable IMO
It's just so damn bizarre. Surely there is some specialized marking coach out there in the world somewhere?
Surely the NFL would have them.
Surely!
If you have a look he often has serious tape on some fingers and thumbs. May be an underlying issue here that isnt publicised
Sandilands drops them every week

Small steps homeboys. A couple of those contested grabs were vintage 2012 nicnat. I saw the pies game as a big step to him regaining his marking confidence. Come finals time he'll be clucking them like Jack Watts.
Reckon that would be for the hit outs ?
He can take hangers, but misses pretty basic ones that fall to him.

His marking isn't an issue for mine
If he's in a pack ..say a down the line kick from defence. He might not mark it but I rarely see anyone else mark when he's in the contest. (Does that make sense?)
Means our midfielders know it will come to ground if Nic Nat doesn't mark it. This is vital,
Also if he doesn't mark it he lands and on his feet and is still part of the contest by either laying a sheppard or by laying a good tackle on an opposition player if he gets it
This gives him two bites at the cherry in the contest. Nic's kicking needs work in my view ...his goal kicking is ok but he kicks with a bent leg. He can't hit a pass to a leading player either. For mine I'd rather see time invested in his field kicking rather than marking ....he's never going to be more than 4 marks per game anyways.

I think to summarize, you're saying "If he doesn't mark it, at least he's always creating a contest and bringing it to ground..."
Never see opposing ruck men marking the ball against him up forward or in defence.
Realistically the only thing he can't do is go back and take defensive marks like Dean Cox in pressure situations.

Yeah but with him in the middle, it doesn't go backwards of centre so it's no problem.
Hmm, 6 contested marks from tonight's game.
Looking pretty good for the season ahead.

Tom Lynch won this stat last year with 51.
If he has improved his marking Naitanui should aim to be no 1 in this stat for the year.
