I’m hopeful the time forward has been good for his development, he’s never been ready previously for a full time defence spot anyway so if this has been good for his development all good. Should be clear to anyone though if he’s gonna make it at the level it needs to be this role in defence, he’s an interesting one could make a massive difference to our season imoBuku looks so comfortable down back. Annoying that we’ve chopped and changed so many times. Just leave him there now.
Yep if we have Jones, Richards and Khamis all down there we have some great intercept marking ability to turn defence into attack.Buku looks so comfortable down back. Annoying that we’ve chopped and changed so many times. Just leave him there now.
With Ginny there now, do Hawks people wish they got Sanders instead of Watson?
We’ve been blessed with guys like Wood and Morris as third talls. I’d love Khamis to get there. Has the tools and is experienced enough now to exert himself.Can play small? Imagine a medium-size guy who's hardly played for two years ending up matched with a Pickett, Rankine or Cameron?
Players who can do that are a rare breed.

At the end of the day, leadership is far greater than the 3 hours in game day that we see. He’s not the captain so it’s not a big deal to leave him out.Tom Jonas 2023 vibes
I'd say not, Buss is a strict interceptor right now, his still very wirey. JOD has a very solid build and is suited to proper forwardsIs Buss an option if JOD is injured?
Then we've got a hell of a lot riding on the availability of Jones and JOD. If Jones goes down Naughts would almost have to go back. He's locked up for 83 years so he doesn't have to like it haha.I'd say not, Buss is a strict interceptor right now, his still very wirey. JOD has a very solid build and is suited to proper forwards
Yeah Jones going down is probably the only time I’d happily move Naughty to full time defenceThen we've got a hell of a lot riding on the availability of Jones and JOD. If Jones goes down Naughts would almost have to go back. He's locked up for 83 years so he doesn't have to like it haha.
Garcia was not named in either squad believe he's in the rehab group.Me again. Anyone see 2nd game? Bedendo or Garcia sighted? For memory one is injured again
No current season stats available
Watch the game yesterday? Naughty was probably best on and completely dominant. Blokes a forward and a bloody good oneI hate to raise it again however if we are a better team with JUH, Lobb, Darcy, English and Astro in the team with Astro playing back so we are to not top heavy up forward do we consider playing Astro back. Happy for Astro to play forward but not in front of what is best for the team.
I wonder if he’s in the group being coached in goal-kicking.Lachie McNeil is forward Brad Johnson reincarnate.
Naughton doesn't make us 'top heavy' - he's probably our best & quickest defensive forward when the ball is on the deck.I hate to raise it again however if we are a better team with JUH, Lobb, Darcy, English and Astro in the team with Astro playing back so we are to not top heavy up forward do we consider playing Astro back.

Yeah it’s a good point which often gets overlooked, he’s genuinely one of if not our best defensive pressure forwards - moving him out to fix that issue makes no sense. There was a great example yesterday when he nearly clunked a great mark but it just bobbled out and before he even hit the ground he was laying the tackle on the player it landed with. There’s just no one else who can do thatNaughton doesn't make us 'top heavy' - he's probably our best & quickest defensive forward when the ball is on the deck.
Now, Darcy and Lobb in the same forwardline is top heavy.
he coaches the goal kickingI wonder if he’s in the group being coached in goal-kicking.
