Liked the look of him at the carnival, I guess people were thrown off with the 189cm height which is wrong anyway.
2nd round for me, would like it if he's there for ours.

Yeah, he looks the goods doesn't he?Liked the look of him at the carnival, I guess people were thrown off with the 189cm height which is wrong anyway.

Noticed that at draft camp he's being classified as a forward, but he's more a tall midfielder yeah?

are there any results out from the draft camp as of yet that have been recorded in a leader board?
Not sure, haven't seen a lot of him. Some of the SA based people may be able to help.
But at the carnival he was pushing up the ground in a lead up CHF role. Thought he played as well as Johnston during the carnival, just 2 diff type of players
Yeah i tend to agree. He was on radio here, on SEN, and he said that he had a bit of a bug and that he didn't sleep much Tuesday night.
I'm not sure if he was just making excuses trying to take pressure off himself or if it's genuine, but it may explain his decent but not exceptional results.
Have some agility results been posted yet? I think it is an underrated test on these forums.
Naitanui jumps to it at camp
Emma Quayle, Canberra | October 3, 2008
ELEVEN years after he became Hawthorn's No. 3 draft choice, Trent Croad's little piece of history remains intact.
While Nick Naitanui yesterday equalled the running vertical jump record of 102 centimetres set by Brisbane's Jared Brennan at the 2002 draft camp, he fell five centimetres short of Croad's 83-centimetre standing jump record, set in 1997.
His thunder was stolen by West Australian teammate Stephen Hill, with the skilful wingman a likely first-round draft choice, completing the agility run in 7.77 seconds. He broke the record set by Danyle Pearce, picked up by Port Adelaide in 2004, of 7.79 seconds.
In all ways, though, Naitanui confirmed what the recruiters knew well before this week — that he is tall and quick, with a very big spring.
The best of his three 20-metre sprint times was 2.86 seconds, and he ran under three seconds each time.
He completed his testing under enormous pressure — with at least five cameras and about a quarter of the people in the Australian Institute of Sport's gym following him from test to test.
He had also arrived at the camp suffering from a virus and ran a repeat speed test on Wednesday night, running six 20-metre sprints in 25.10 seconds, equal fourth at the camp behind Ryan Schoenmakers (24.82), Sam Blease and Matt De Boer (24.97) and equal with James Strauss (25.10).
Naitanui was even rounded up by a group of kids at the end of his running jump test, and asked to sign some autographs.
Jack Watts, Melbourne's likely No. 1 pick, also proved that what he has shown in some quick leads this season was no fluke, running a 2.82-second sprint. He followed up with a 13.6 beep test last night, Eastern Ranges midfielder Rory Sloane posting the best score, of 14.8.
The teenager was the fastest non-indigenous player in draft camp history until Ashley Smith, who played for the Dandenong Stingrays in last Friday's TAC Cup grand final, notched a 2.80 run.
Tyrone Vickery was another stand-out in the speed testing — the ruckman's best time was 2.94 seconds, while Shaun McKernan, the brother of former North Melbourne player Corey, ran a 2.95.

Interesting that Malthouse said that other than the interviews and getting all the guys in the one place the draft camp had no bearing on who he would pick up as the Scouts should have done their work well before the camp. Makes sense.
Very impressed with Naitanui's repeat sprint effort
Surely if 2 players were rated bordeline that a more impressive draft camp would push one in front of the other?

on the issue of running vert leap test... my cousin was telling me he went to the VIC state screening in 2003 and there was a guy there who did 105cm!! Some guy from Northern Knights, didn't get drafted though. Name started with 'M', smallish midfield type. Apparently the pegs on the pole only went up to 100cm and they had to rejig it so they could get a register on his leap! so maybe Jarred and NicNat don't have the all-time draft camp/state screenings record after all??

Even if they were bluffing clubs would call it.
BULL****
So your saying, you not an athlete, and you run a better beep test than cale morton (15.2) and rhyce palmer (14.8)
you know that the beep test length is 20m?
I mean if it was 10m or 15m you were doing it off then yeh thats possible
otherwise you would be pro at athletics or even AFL....
I don't think AFL teams are in the business of bluffing.
If a club makes a bid they'd be happy to take him.
Did any body see paul roos and brett ratten having a little chat in the background of the McCarthy interview??!!!
Reckon they mentioned O'keefe?
