We picked the wrong guy. :(

[whelan=legend]

NOOOOOOOT

 

[Tulip]

It's all about Bruno but still NicNat=Palm Tree

 

[Supermercado]

NOOOOOOOT

I suggest going on the main board and reposting all the Watts threads with the names changed. Then sit back and wait for the avalanche.

I loved the laugh when he ****ed up the bounce.

I wouldn't go too hard though. Watts hasn't set the world on fire yet either. We need to realise that these guys are drafted for 15 year careers, not 15 days.

 

[Karl Pilkington]

What shits me is the way Natanui gets so much praise for doing literally nothing, or even making mistakes.

He has no idea where to run to, and is terrified of physical contact. HE can;t bounce the footy. He can't kick the footy. His first handball went directly to Cam Bruce. He ONLY looks good when running with the ball.

Mind you7, most WCE players looked lost today with all that tackling pressure, and he will be a gun, but he isn't superman and it will take time.

 

[MattDEEmon]

How good is a win, and how good was it to see Naitta suck balls

 

[davey_magik]

FFS.

Naita is in his 3rd game.

Can we be gracious winners rather than mocking a first year player?

 

[melbournemartin]

Check out my thread in the main board perhaps.

It's pretty hard to ask the guy to be the main ruck with only a punch hitter for support in his first year.

Much like we said it was hard for Watts to be a CHF in a shite team in his first year.

 

[Demon 86]

ummm Im pretty sure the point of the OP was to mock the previous thread where a bunch of imbeciles started moaning that our drafting decision was wrong after 2 games!

 

[melbournemartin]

True but it's on the back of a bad performance of NN, not a good one by Watts.

Fair play- but said imbeciles only take notice of a bad performance irrespective of age, and cannot see potential in a player even if its bleedingly obvious! So thread may be necessary to drum it in

 

[ExTasDeeMan]

I reckon we picked the wrong guy, we could have taken Leigh Brown.

 

[Karl Pilkington]

Um, no we can not be gracious winners. Football is way more fun when you make other people feel like shit over a game. It proves your superiority and their idiocy.

Natanui will be a poor man's Brent Grgic, at best.

 

[master bate]

Naitanui and Watts I think were the longest range picks in history for number 1 and 2 in terms of reaching their peaks. A ruckman who has a lot of work to do on foot skills and general footy skills and a key forward who is only 17.

I for one would never want to have to run and jump at Jamar!

I don't want NicNat to be a bad player but I'm very happy he wasn't great today because it really takes the pressure off Watts.

 

[ExTasDeeMan]

To be honest, worst case for nat is jared brennan. Freakish, but only on his terms.

Pretty sure he will kill it in 2 years.

 

[maggers]

Pretty happy NicNat's short-lasting bubble got burst by the team they turned him down.

No doubt he has ability, but extremly raw atm.

 

[Supermercado]

I hope nat kills it one day but I'm just glad that the *******s on BigFooty and elsewhere have seen first hand that you can't judge a kid on one game. Even before the match all the neutrals I was with wouldn't shut up about how stupid we were for not drafting him.

 

[melbournemartin]

Yeah. Some day soon Rich will have a quiet 8 disposal game with a handful of clangers and he'll be the next dud of the week.

EDIT: got a bit heated....

I came here to congratulate on the win but who would seriously take pleasure in seeing another young first season player play badly...... WTF??

Sorry most are being sensible but the thread is pretty unnecessary and could be perceived as reflecting badly on Demon's fans.

Whatever man. You are obviously not aware of what some of your fellow supporters have been saying in other threads. I think this thread is more about relief that the pressure (which is very unfair on a 3rd game key position player) has now been lifted of Jack rather than us having a crack at NickNat. Go back and read through the thread started by Wambat (titled something like Name Jack Watts illness) if you don't understand what i am talking about.

Touchy much?

Watts has copped it from every corner in the past month for playing badly, in the comfort of our own board, we can take our own pleasure from the media's pin-up boy having a poor game too. If you don't want to read it, don't bother coming onto our board. Easy enough.

As for "reflecting badly on Demon's fans", pah-lease

 

[Roos4eva]

Still absolutely gutted that Ziebell played worse than Rich when we played Brisbane.

May as well call his career off, I guess.

And yet why be relieved, I just find it strange to be relieved about this kind of thing being taken off your own player because it has been pushed onto another.

I think the abuse and bagging is ridiculous and am not happy it is happening to either Watts or Nat.

Also who cares about tit for tat. I mean what about Grandmaster_B (yes you too Whelan lol) and his incessant Nic Nat bagging which inspired those threads..... kind lame whoever is doing it.

In the end it's not all that serious but some bad comments in this thread and really I would think both teams posters would have more sense by condemning some of the stupidity that people post, in writing off both young guys than simultaneously ragging on either player.

But then that just may be me, I would rather Naita succeed than feel he looks better because another young guy is failing

 

[Bartram_Class]

Way too much PC talk for a thread with a Borat picture in it's opening post.

Can we get back to the bagging of Naita please?

Lol that is terrible, rollseyes is ultimate douchebaggery....

Can write whatever you want within the rules, I applaud the freedom to express your opinion, but I am just voicing mine.

The highlighted is pretty lame though and if that is the feeling from a lot of Demons fans and what you look forward to enjoying then to me that reflects badly, but that is just my opinion.

I'm not really touchy about it, it just seems strange to me.
