West Coast coach John Worsfold this morning revealed that highly-fancied recruit Nick Naitanui is in line to make his AFL debut against Richmond on Saturday.

Hmmm.

Just play him please. :)
 
See it's a little known fact, but a famous movie franchise was based on seeing Nick Nat play and his hunting of the ball was the inspiration

Anyone got any footage of his tackling blokes lately? I watched part of his game last week, he really tackles hard. One of my mates reckons a guy he tackled came off spitting blood - he looks like he just loves crunching people.

Cant wait for him to play, is going to be an excitement machine. :thumbsu:
 
Yeah, we got to play him against Richmond. Keep it low key, name him on the extended bench. Fly him over as normal and play him out of the Forward pocket and give him two shots at the ruck.

Ive no doubt with Naitanui we will take a different approach what Melbourne did to Watts. Allot of pressure of Naitanui to perform given Watts effort.

Looking at that video he has put on quite a bit of size, i really cant wait for him to scare the Sh*# out of the opposition (especially the smaller players) when he chases and tackles them.

I really want him to tackle Jake King..who reminds me of of a little annoying hyena..i can imagine Natinui the roaring Lion hunting for blood...

Pity about the accompanying music :o
 
unfortunately the hype surrounding his debut will only esculate each week he isnt picked, and therefore the pressure will mount for him to make an impressive 1st game too. We all saw Jack Watts last week, and i just hope that if NickNat only gets 6 touches on the weekend and a handful of hitouts these boards dont go into meltdown.

I also cant wait to see his attack on the ball for such a lanky fella, and many ruckman types can be pretty soft at tackling. But like a lot of debutants theres a pretty good chance he will get a bit overawed by the experience and struggle to pick up the tempo of the game. How often do you see high priority draft pick players say how quick AFL is compared to VFL/WAFL.

Anyway, im just hoping he gets a few touches and remains injury free by the end (poor old Shuey cant take a trick).

That chase and tackle at the end is so much fun to watch. :D

It really is...

What would be more enjoyable is watching this sort of tackle on a Steven Milne or Josh Carr and making them bleed! Or perhaps even Cuzzy:D
