If I had to answer the questions the coaches did I would have answered Dangerfield or Hill... but I hope Naitanui can.
I think it's pretty clear that he'll win a brownlow or two over his career. In fact I called it in the game thread last weekend.
I know people get put off by how much hype he gets but the dude deserves is.

Everyname on that list is quality. I'm very happy to see him rated amoungst other great youngsters like Rioli and Hurley.
Exciting times ahead for our game!

that's what i thought.
as much talent as Kennedy has, and as good as he has been i'd be suprised if he ever got to the point were he was considered the best player in the competition. I'd love if he get there.
An All Australian guernsey or two is definately not out of JK's potential IMO.
if i was answering the question, i'd Say Kreuzer (has he played under 50 games??)... i reckon he is just top notch.

A lot of hype, though he seems very humble or level headed in interviews.
Would just like to see him improve steadily without as much of the talk (just don't want it to effect him), but he is a pretty damn exciting prospect.

Naita showed again why he will be the best in 2 years time.
Have you ever seen a ruckman rove his own tap, run through a pack burning off mids...shame he didnt shoot for goal..would have been goal of the year.
His break away from stoppages/packs is Judd like.

Indeed.
I don't think he has a problem with distance and his kicking on goal seems to be quite good, so as he matures would be nice to see him take a couple of those.
The break away speed reminded me a bit of Judd, but the strength and the fact he seems incredibly hard to stop when moving reminded me of Pav last week with a couple of his run and carry clearances.
Don't forget though, he is still young and showing glimpses so really they arn't direct comparisons, considering Judd was probably one of the greatest mids in his time at WC and Pav's composure is phenomenal.
Still good signs if we can even say he does things that resemble these players a little bit around the stoppage.
For me though, it's his speed of recovery at ground level which impresses me the most.

Pretty much the only reason I watch the Eagles is for this guy, will be literally unstoppable in a few years time, maybe even as early as next year 
lol Naitanui and Watson at the end of the game "keep those hands still". What a champ!

I don't.hate how woosha's doing the whole ruck-bench-ruck-bench thing with him, should spend some more time up forward
Rather see him manged well.
Sure he adds something up forward but if they are erring on the side of caution then so be it.
He's come a long way in his 14 games, no need to force the issue.

Him and LeCras in the same forward line <insert drool here>

Indeed, seems like quite the opportunistic goal kicker, or at least creates pressure and opportunities.
That said, if they were resting him then with the game pretty much in the bag, I won't complain.
wonderful young player and man.
