He can reportedly leap tall buildings in a single bound but West Coast is determined not to rush potentially the most exciting player that will emerge from this year's national draft in number two pick Nicholas Naitanui.
The 201cm dread-locked giant, who is of Fijian origin, was the highest profile youngster leading into this year's draft after only his age prevented him from being taken at pick one by Carlton next year when he was first touted as one of the hottest teenage properties to emerge in years.
The 18-year-old, who possesses amazing agility for a player of his size plus one of the biggest leaps seen on a young player, has been named an All-Australian at junior level for the past two seasons and has already played at senior level at WAFL club Swan Districts.
And thanks to Melbourne deciding to take key forward and local boy Jack Watts with pick one on Saturday, it meant the giant teenager could also enjoy the luxury of pursuing his AFL career without having to leave his home state.
With the Eagles' just coming off their worst ever season in finishing in 15th place the exciting Naitanui will be viewed in AFL mad Perth as the club's saviour but coach John Worsfold is having none of it.
Worsfold said speculation the Eagles had just pulled off a coup by selecting the player with the most long-term potential in this year's draft was just that - speculation.
"That is out of control so we don't try to control it," he said of the hype surrounding a player who shapes as a potential crowd puller and a marketing man's dream in the years to come.
"All we can do is give Nick the best preparation we can to get himself ready to play at some stage and everything else we have no influence over and it's not a factor other to say that our supporters will be pleased that he is on our side."
As for the man himself Naitanui is just looking forward to now enjoying a lower profile for a while as he begins life as another young hopeful at West Coast.
"Hopefully it will die down a bit now," he said of the hype which has already made him a household name and a recognisable face in both Victoria and Western Australia.
"There are a lot of young blokes at West Coast now so it (the hype) won't be as bad as it has been (in the lead-up to the draft)."
Naitanui admits he possesses some traits which other young draftees simply don't have but equally says he has much to learn before he can step into the AFL and is looking forward to learning the ruck trade off arguably the league's best ruckman in new teammate Dean Cox.
"My ability to jump and my speed and my tackling ability has helped me so far but I need to learn a lot more about the game," he said.
"I am still developing as I go and it will be great to learn off someone like Dean Cox."
"He has been a role model for me so far and he stands out compared to the rest of the ruckmen in the AFL because he is a mobile, agile guy for his height and if I can learn off him then I might go far."
