The excitement generated by young gun ruckman Nic Naitanui during West Coast's crucial, break-through win over Essendon at Subiaco Oval on Friday night was quite extraordinary.
The 19-year-old was sensational with his ruck work at the centre bounces.
He had the crowd leaping out of their seats on several occasions when he gathered his own tap outs and exploded downfield to send the Eagles deep into attack.
No wonder coach John Worsfold compared the excitement surrounding Naitanui to the glory days of Chris Judd's arrival at the club.
It's a massive compliment.
Naitanui is expected to be the round four nominee for the AFL's coveted NAB Rising Star award.
An announcement will be made tomorrow (Tuesday) morning.
Despite playing 10 games in 2009, the Swan Districts product is eligible for the NAB Rising Star award.
But only just.
To be eligible, nominees must be aged under 21 and not have played more than 10 games.
The Eagles produced the 1996 Rising Star award winner ... none other than Ben Cousins, who went on to win a Brownlow Medal and play in a premiership side.
