Probably just rewording of the other articles, but oh well.

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.

WEST Coast coach John Worsfold remains non-committal on the imminent debut of Nick Naitanui

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

Don't beleive me? check this out

Coincidence? i think not

I giggled.

Something on Naitanui on channel 10 at 5:40.

Hopefully footage, hopefully that boundary goal.

they should have played him against Geelong, they had nothing to lose and everything to gain from the run, but they better play him this week

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.

 

[lewigie]

True fact. That did happen.

 

[Hodges]

Haha, thats quality.

Get him in the team Woosha!

 

[Nicholas Naitanui]

Thanks for the kind words.

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.

I still see a future as a forward. He can't be that bad of a kick.

that video is awesome i would so love to see wanna of those tackles in his first game specially the last one

 

[Prem87]

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

 

[WCFaithful]

im not into gangsta tunes myself but I thought the music seemed to fit quite well. Each to their own i guess

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).

What an awesome video.

Come on, everyone loves Roy Jones Jr

 

[Forrest Gimp]

Thanks for the kind words.

Good luck... (if selected)

 

[Hodges]

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

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

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

 

[Carnthe]

Can't wait to see this bloke play.

 

[Juddy88]

this kid will be a superstar

No pressure on him or anything.
