will naitinui take massive specky in his first game

This guy is amazing. It's scary enough how high he can jump but even more scary how talented he is when he has the ball. Every time he went near it I was worried.
 
Love this pic on realfooty

Big boys, big hair, big expectations: top draft picks Nick Naitanui of West Coast and Tyrone Vickery of Richmond clash at AFL level for the first time.

Young Tyrone was good first up, but was slow, needs more game time to pick up the pace... Mushroom head Nat was impressive.
 
Have no doubt that Spida Vickery will grow into a quality ruckman forward, he's got the talent and balance, just looks unflustered and in control of what he's doing.

Nicnat, OMG! This kids a freak. Power, cat like reflexes, a monster leap. Jumped all over Gus in the ruck late in the game and scooped up the ground ball as soon as it hit the deck.
He's raw but a couple of seasons in could see him brutalise a few sides.
One possible flaw.......................Weight. Nicnats 19 and looks to be over 100kgs already, he's massive, looks to be easy 10 / 12kgs heavier then Spida already and would be 20 plus kg heavier than the Bullies Cordy.
With his leap and weight he could put a huge amount of stress on his hips and legs by early to mid twenties.
 
Yep NicNat looks to be a future gun. Something that hasn't been mentioned here is his pace. He was deceptively quick when chasing in the game last night. This along with his monster leap and evasive skills for a huge kid = something special.

Good luck to him.

Will be raw for a few years, but will be an ABSOLUTE monster in 4-5...
