Thing is we've got to go back almost a decade to see Nic Naitanui in his brilliance. After the Eagles bulked him up full of muscle, he's become prone to injuries and become lacklustre. Sad really.
What can u say about the Big Nic, His Athletically the BEST Ruckman the league has ever seen, The game has never seen a guy like this before, A Ruckman that moves faster then most rovers, He has the highest vertical leap then any player and 9 times out of 10 the guy can follow up his own hit outs and score a goal, Im sorry but you cant teach that fellas, Thats all class, he'll get even better as he matures in age.
All this coming from a kid who didn't grow up playing the game ( if I'm not mistaken). He's picking it up quick. Within a few years, if he stays healthy, I think this guy will be the most dominant ruck in the game.
one passage of play highlighted what we want west coast to do gaff, to shuey who breaks the line and puts it to the advantage of nic nat, thats perfect.
Arthur Ashe? Jesse Owens? Kim Thorpe? Jim Hines? Bjorn Borg? Tiger Woods? And let's not leave out THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME - MUHAMMAD ALI. To call Nic Naitanui who was an outstanding athlete "the best sportsman that's ever lived" has to be one of the worst comments ever.
"What a star he" and "What a star he'll be" are not the same statement, you can see that, yes?. You can write in english, I presume you understand it too and are not just using an online translator. In the original footage, one commentator says "What a star he'll be", THEN another adds, "What a star he is!". It's a great moment. I know it's hard on the internet, but try and avoid commenting on things in which you lack understanding.
If he stayed healthy he would’ve had Morrish meal ,1 Brownlow, 4 club best and fairest , 7 years all Australian, 3 goals of the year, .....most tackles ,marks,by a ruckman 6 years, most goals buy ruckman/ forward 5 years, 2 normsmiths , 2 Robert rose awards, 3 marks of the year, 2 herald sun of the year and will be the most exciting player in history then game has ever had.... the perfect player 2.1 meters in height and 110 kgs, can leap like a kangaroo, can tackle like Robert Harvey, he’s running game was insane....for his height. He is the perfect player....his Athleticism... his grit and second efforts..His ground control,, slick hand balls , his fierce tackling, he’s enormous leaps, his mindset and ability to see the game and control it, his goal kicking was so good ... full clutch Player, just his presence and the way the smoothness and graceful style and with those dreads........ the coolest, yet destructive player ever.... Bar none... ever
He's not the greatest kick, considering his height and his ability for speed. But with his speed, agility and creativity he may as well be considered a tall midfielder. A group of AFL players that win the Brownlow very often.
i bet if they make the grand final this year and its a close game, he will be the one who gets the eagles over the line. pull out some insane goal from nowhere to win it
nic nats worst ever game would be better then jack watts best ever game nic nat is ruthless goes hard at every contest and jack watts just pussy foots around too scared he will stuff up or get hurt
cox is a great player. he should've been the all australian ruckman, natanui shouldn't have been on the all australian team, and pavlich should've been the other full forward. also, look at natanuis hitouts to advantage compared to his hitouts, very poor. thats why i think the role of the ruckman is overated, cause hitouts don't mean your teamates get the ball.

Its awesome to see a legend like Nic be recruited from my local footy team :) legend!

Awesome compilation love how you kept the original commentary - would love to see a natanui 2012 highlights!
He is a godsend!
Watch his contested marking in 2012.
What Nic natinui cant do, cant be done!
Brilliant compilation, Wheldo, but I can't believe you didn't let the last clip run long enough for the commentator to say, "What a star he is."
what a star he is
that last goal... omg
the sheppard at 6.48 is just *italian chef gesture* mmwaa

FIJIAN BEAST !
As a Hawks supporter, I'd almost be willing to trade Nic Nat for either Cyril or Buddy. In 5 years time I reckon it'd be a definite yes.
5:23 "oh yeah' loves it.
GOD watta a player
thank god, a highlight video without some generic rock song playing...
thanks for sharing. he was pretty average tonight aswell
4:33 ---> wow
you obviously dont watch footy do you? Dont even reply, what you just said proved to everyone how much you know about footy
Jack what's his name?
What a gun hell win the brownlow in 2 or 3 years
naitinui honestly reminds me of the PREDATOR (arnold schwarzenegger movie)

Nic Naitnui you legend
if this guy ever did a preseason with roids... he'd beat teams single handedly
i bet if they make the grand final this year and its a close game, he will be the one who gets the eagles over the line. pull out some insane goal from nowhere to win it
Look at 59 secs watch the guy who try's to take the ball ;)
just say 0:59
Talk about exaggeration by the commentary at 3:11...
Did anyone else see the guy steal the footy at 1:00 ??????
nic nats worst ever game would be better then jack watts best ever game nic nat is ruthless goes hard at every contest and jack watts just pussy foots around too scared he will stuff up or get hurt
Brayden Plumpkin lol
guy at 0:58 steals the ball haha
1:00 watch the ball, tries taking it hahaha!

Firsst
HELL NO!
Nic Naitnui is good coming from and eagles supporter, but not cyril or buddy worth good

You obviously haven't played footy before. Stick to the PC mate.
LOL brownlow! mybe not hes does not know how to play the game. Hes can do some flash stuff but realy not that good
