Good. Pay him a million dollars. No one cares. Tell yourself what you want, but you actually don’t really need him more then you need Masten or Duggar. Replaceable.14 disposals and 23 hitouts from 56% time on ground. I'll take that.

Naitanui is a generational talent.
There are very few players in the league who aren’t replaceable. The only players on our list who I would say aren’t replaceable are Naitanui, McGovern, and Hurn.

Naitanui a generational talent? F****** lol.
He is nowhere near Grundy and Gawn as a ruckman or all around footballer.
ThisCos theyre bogan losers who have nothing else to cheer for and so their mood/outlook/self worth is entirely tied to their footy team’s fortunes, like a 16 year old boy hung up on girls for the first time
If you didn’t have McGovern, you wouldn’t have won the flag. Same with Hurn.Naitanui is a generational talent.

Ross Lyon described some of the numbers behind Fremantle’s embarrassing western derby capitulation on Saturday night as confusing.
Emotional Dockers fans took to social media post-match with some more colourful words to describe the night.
In workplaces around the State this morning those supporters will have two figures in particular rubbed in their faces: 2 and 9. Two goals kicked and nine derby defeats in a row.
They are both numbers that are hard to get past for any member of the dejected purple army as they ponder a fourth consecutive season out of the finals.
Lyon would call that fingernail-deep analysis.
So let’s dive a little deeper and ponder some extraordinary other numbers that paint a picture of the 50th western derby as the perfect storm for the Dockers.
Fremantle’s tally in the 19.8 (122) to 2.19 (31) defeat was the lowest ever recorded in a derby.
The horror goal kicking improves slightly when you factor in that six of those behinds were rushed, although Cam McCarthy (1.3) and Brandon Matera (0.3) remain prime culprits.

It’s when you break the team’s score down further still that things become fascinating.
The statisticians at Champion Data assess every shot on goal taken in every match. They take into account whether it was a set shot or taken on the run, the angle and distance and how much pressure a player was under when he got his kick off.
The detailed analysis considers all shots at goal, including those that fall short or sail out on the full.
They are then compared to similar shots from similar positions in the database to get a guide on which goals should be kicked and how often they get kicked.
According to the stats gurus, based on every shot taken at Optus Stadium the Eagles should have won the derby by just three goals, 94-76. West Coast shot the lights out and Fremantle shot themselves in the foot.
The Eagles conjured 28 points more than expected by nailing goals from everywhere and the Dockers kicked 45 points, or nearly eight goals, less than expected by spraying their shots.
That deficit for Fremantle is among the biggest ever differences recorded between expected and actual outcomes.

West Coast sing the song after a 91-point derby thumping of Freo.
The Dockers kicked just two goals, from McCarthy in the first quarter and Michael Walters in the third, from 25 shots. Their shot-at-goal accuracy of 8 per cent is the lowest on record.
They are not the only numbers to do a Freo fan’s head in. Fremantle created 60 forward entries to 50 and remarkably, played 58 per cent of the game in their forward half.
The expected score analysis might give heart to Docker diehards this morning that the team hasn’t completely fallen apart.
But bad kicking is bad football and it will be cold comfort for those with long memories.
In Fremantle’s heartbreaking 15-point grand final loss to Hawthorn in 2013, the expected score based on all shots taken was 94-88 in the Dockers’ favour.
Fremantle had 29 shots on goal to the Hawks’ 24, including the last eight shots on goal of the grand final that resulted in 2.4 and two that didn’t score.
Six years on, Lyon remains one of footy’s most tortured figures as the only coach in VFL/AFL history to have twice led grand finals in time-on of the last quarter and not won a premiership.
Out of contract at the end of next season and short on wins ever since signing his last extension in early 2016, Lyon needs his players to find their kicking boots as badly as ever.
As a one-off it does. If it happens over and over it is probably not just luck.Amazing stuff really. The only thing that would have made yesterday's game more amazing is if it had have been reversed - if Freo were ridiculously accurate and WC stupidly inaccurate, that sort of 'luck' just doesn't seem to happen though does it.
