His brother is out of contract too and the Dogs are throwing a heap of money at him apparently.

Mckay is worth more than Cripps imo

With the year he is putting together, I think so too. Clean up his kicking accuracy and he could be anything.

There is going to be several Victorian clubs after him. I reckon the Bulldogs would be a strong contender to get Ben.

Hes exactly what we are missing to be a flag contender.

lol what?

Bruce
Naughton

At present is McKay an upgrade?

McKay would absolutely be above both.

Guess I rate Naughton highly then as that’s who I’d take of the 3. Can kick bags and play defence. Yes please.

Needs a haircut.

If anything the Dogs are light at the other end for talls

they are talking about Ben

*, I thought this was the case but misread RPCB's post replying to you saying McKay is worth more than Cripps.

If they are then fully agree. Turns the dogs into an outfit with little weaknesses.

If Harry I’d query the need to burn draft picks when they already have key forwards.

Ben McKay. Haha.

We wont be chasing a KPF for a while with Jamara and Sam Darcy in the wings.

Im not sure about absolutely, be a toss of the coin between Harry and Naughtie for mine.

They are the two standout young key forwards just ahead of Allen i reckon

McKay has kicked 10 more goals with a lesser midfield giving him service.

Naughton is very good don't get me wrong, but I'd take McKay given the choice.

Not sure goals kicked is the best way to separate them as one plays closer to goal more permanently. Ones a bit of a FF while
the other is more of a CHF(or CHB depending on the situation). Im amazed at how well Aaron plays forward considering its only his second year doing it too.

But yeah I'd say myself its a real toss of the coin of you'd be hapoy with either.

This is a weird post. Are you not a flag contender now?

He also has less competition for forward entries than Naughton, who has Bruce and others..

Yeah fair point, though McKay only averages 0.5 more marks inside 50 a game. For a 1.4 goal per game more output.

Do have very similar goal assist and score involvement numbers though, so I guess Naughton does get more involved earlier in the chain.

The flipside to that is the opposition can put a lot more 2 and 3 on 1 focus onto McKay because he's only got Casboult and McGovern around him. Splitting hairs with the two of them

Not if Cordy is our KPD. We are one short in that area.

Reckon North have more cash to throw at him than the dogs haha

No doubt(but your cash isnt a great carrot most of the time), i guess we could also offer a position in a decent side too.

Worst case we'd get pick 2 in the draft I guess.

Yeah its a long way off having to worry about it but is he a restricted free agent?
