To answer the question about Nick Natanui
Here are comments we found on the forums. He may make an appearance later on in the season I think. The club will nurse him along.
Quote—
The only really big concerns are that he was injured and so has missed some training and that he does not have enough “footy smarts” to play the game. Well, he apparently will begin full training before the season starts so with a few WAFL games in the first few rounds and at full training for a month I believe he could debut around round 4. And as for footy smarts what better way to learn?”

Marked,

Candidate for mark of the year at some point in his first 2 seasons. Hopefully his football smarts have improved if they have he will be a player likely to bring in big crowds.

Westcoast929406,

How far away is Nick Naitanui from playing? Will he be there first round? (dreamteam question)

The Eagles will be fine – The club despite its past problems has a rock solid supporter base – The membership waiting list is as long as ever.
The only clouds on the horizon are reduced income for the club and Coach John Worsfolds future. Previously thought untouchable Woosha will be under increasing pressure. If by mid season and no improvement from 15th position the scrutiny will increase. (His contract expires this season along with 6 other AFL coaches)
If you lived in Perth your singling out of the two negative points would be irrelevant.
