Nakia cockatoo

[nath8855]

I like this kid. Does anyone think he'll last till our first pick. Seems to be a good draft

 

[bullus_hit]

A lack of exposed form means he'll be around, just don't know if recruiters will jump on the back of one outstanding game playing for the Allies. I'd put him around the 15-40 mark, someone may take the punt early however, physically he looks like the real deal, his testing may have pushed him into first round calculations.

 

[nswtiger]

pretty impressive as far!
esp his game on grand final day
looks like he can find the ball!

I would be over the moon for our 2nd pick, Kid can play

Must be a relation to CCC at the Bummers in the 90s.

There were 2 Cockatoo brothers at North in the 80s, I wonder if Nakia is related?

If he lasts till our second I think we must grab him. Doubt he will tho but if he does....seriously seriously in calcs ( depending on others sliding).

He's firmed up as a top 20 pick. A little speculation that he will go closer to 15 with maybe one team prepared to take him earlier than that.

 

[Inspector]

I'd take a punt with our 1st pick quick & can kick good leap perfect forward/mid that we need!

Then take Sam Blease in the rookie draft.

 

[tigertim]

His coach gave him a good wrap. Said how when he couldn't play because of injury Nakia was still there giving instructions, still went to training, ran water.

 

[Herr_Tiger]

Looks a good kid, not sure if he is worth #31 let alone whether he'll last to there

If somehow he got to #49, absoflutely, but better odds of 2nd div lotto

Trained with North earlier in the season, could go to them with a first rounder, I suspect if we are interested then it's pick 11/12 or nothing.

I think that is correct

Is that one team us Gus...?

 

[mrposhman]

Anyone think he could be there at 23 if we trade for Trengove? Trengove and Cockatoo essentially for Pick 12 would seem like a great draft / trade period to me.

wasn't that the Krakouer brothhers?

 

[bigwow]

wasn't that the Krakouer brothhers?

Melbourne had 2 Cockatoo-Collins brothers at one point, Essendon had Che Cockatoo-Collins as well.

 

[tigertim]

wasn't that the Krakouer brothhers?

Nah, there were 2 Cockatoo brothers in the under 19s and reserves in the 80. Robert and Ronald(?) but it turns out they are Nakias grandfather and grand uncle!

Anyone see his goal from the rep match a week or so ago? Geez he is quickkkkkkk.

Yes, he has some serious toe about him. If by chance he slipped to 23 & we held that pick I'd seriously consider, reckon he has more upside than both Garlett & Menadue.
