Ever bought a VK Commodore for $1200 to get it home, pop the bonnet and find a Ferrari 812 motor mounted securely within?
No me neither. The Western Bulldogs however may as well have in selecting Aaron Naughton with pick number 9 in the 2017 draft.
Described as an ‘athletic swingman’ (my old nickname), with a dour defensive mentality and an awkward kicking style it was hard to by excited by the selection let alone after watching him execute a ball-drop from hell with his first kick in the big time.
However in recent months, culminating in his performance last night it is evident that we have accidentally recruited the Bulldogs next Simon Beasley.
Beasley, the West Australian, blond haired, awkward ball drop....he was the last Bulldog to kick 100 in a season and turn his paltry Bulldog salary into many millions on a Tuesday afternoon at Flemington.
We all know what it is like to sell the farm to chase a potential key forward, even if selling the farm actually bought us a flag which it did.
But ladies and gentlemen, we have a potential Coleman Medalist on our list. Let him never step foot in the backline again.
