I get that but personally I'm not too bothered about the AA stuff. A Norm Smith, Best Player in a Finals Series or a Premiership medal... now that's a different storywhats even better is that people are singing his praises now, allowing for him to get noticed more for AA
Some wag criticised Naughton for his lack of second efforts and lackof game awareness last week.It's his ability to absorb the main defender, the second efforts to bring the ball to ground/harrass and tackle, provide the link up target in between the arcs and from what I've seen he's hitting targets across the park (especially inside 50).
He may not have got the chocolates but Naughton is the reason why our 2nd/3rd talls are now finding the ability to damage the scoreboard. Bruce is taking the 2nd defender (often who wants to play a more intercepting rather than accountable role) and then English who is getting mismatches every time he goes forward.
His work rate is outstanding and I had him as one of our better players tonight. He really is the key plank inside 50 for us.
Oh, and the 167 points we scored tonight was the same score we achieved when we belted Richmond by 115 points in 2006.

LOL
That Naughton effort today was Biggsian.
At half time? Pretty sure it was still Joyce. Might've been somebody else at full time.I went to that game. Left at half time. Who was the coach then?
Will Gardner's injury now mean Naughton moves back?
If it was my call I'd be tempted, especially against Brisbane but I don't think MC will do that.
I don't think they will they given the chemistry that appears to be developing amongst Naughts, Bruce and Timmy. Whoda thunk we'd have a fwd line that has chemistry...and 3 marking talls. Having said that, it's an option if a couple of opposition talls with regular supply are getting hold of us during the course of a game. Conditions (wind and rain..or both) at Ballarat might yet determine if we replace Gardner with a tall option. If it's good conditions, I'd say we'll go with a tall that isn't Naughts. Hard to pick which one though. Bad weather conditions that don't suit Brisbane's talls and we may opt not to go tall at all.Will Gardner's injury now mean Naughton moves back?

Haha I wish they had a mic on Libba for a whole game as some of the stuff he would say to the opposition would be a pissa. The guys a legend!!View attachment 1092630

Libba, a legend. Ziebell, worst captain 5 years running. You love to see it.
im more for players that under most circumstances, dont flinchThink we all love the freakishly skilled players, but I also love those who are composed and never panic and Bailey fits that bill.
Play of the match about half way through the first. Camera zooms into a mum in the stands who screams excitedly in baby/toddler's face. Kid gets a fright and slaps her fair across the face! Camera cuts off and noone says anything!
It was Joyce, and he was sacked after it. Lost by 87 to Brisbane in Brisbane round 1, 131 to North round 2, then goneAt half time? Pretty sure it was still Joyce. Might've been somebody else at full time.
