Western Bulldogs key position defenders are just failed forwards. I present Liam Jones and Rory Lobb
There is a big elephant in the room (pictured below) at the Bullfrogs that both 22yo Jamarra and 21yo Darcy went past Astronaut this year. Not to mention Tim English is more than valuable...
The injury to Naughton in last nights game was not for anyone with a weak stomach. And the second I saw it I thought "Was that a hip drop tackle?".
I am not a NRL fan and only watch State of Origin, however I have heard of the hip drop tackle and that the NRL have outlawed it as a...
Unhappy at the Dogs and may be involved in a three-way trade between Fremantle, Melbourne and his current club which will see him at the Demons in 2023.

I can’t believe this guy doesn’t have his own thread! He deserves his own thread.
This kid is something special! I don’t think there is a better player in the league at marking the high ball and attacking it as he does. Yes he needs to get some specialist training on his goal kicking but that...
What a champ.
Can you imagine how hard the Saints would be taking this, considering they had two picks just before Aaron and passed on him twice?
Of course, some Saints fans still say they'd take Coffield over Naughton!

...2017 National Draft.
Who do you think is better and or would you expect to go on to have a better career ?
It's a difficult one because Naughton started off like a steam engine than suffered that unfortunate knee injury, and Oscar's last 12 months have been extraordinary.
It's a toss of a...
...I get the sense there are a few more in the same boat.
My reasoning is as follows:
Our forward line and back line both suck. If we move Naughton to defence it suddenly seems like we have a pretty decent back line. The forward line will be dysfunctional no matter who we put up there until we...
Boost for Saints but looks like Easton Wood, Josh Bruce and Naughton could be missing.

What do we know so far about Naughton's knee? I'm hearing lateral ligament. Have we ruled out ACL? I'm really anxious about it as I'm sure a lot of us are.
...central to both our game strategy in 2020 (and beyond) and to our recruiting strategy in 2019 (and probably beyond).
Should we play Aaron Naughton as a key defender or key forward?
I've been arguing we'll get more out of him long term as a key defender but I acknowledge there are good...
...those flogs look like DHs right now. Was on my yacht with the missus this afternoon telling her that if they had of kept Boyd and Roughhead, Naughton would probably be back in the 2s on current dreadful form.
Well done to Spud Naughton on joining John Butcher, Cameron Cloke, Taylor Walker...
Could catch a block of wet soap with teflon gloves on. The only chance teams have against him is to illegally block his run at the contest and illegally grab his arms...note the 'illegal' solutions. I know Razor is on Big Footy so take note Razor and spread the word, if Naught's isn't taking...
...grab him at 6.
Ok, Coffield? Pick 7, Hunter who?...
...Pick 8 (ah, the old smart @rsed, reverse order pick)...
...as I swigged the rest of my beer, and quite confidently announced to the world that with Pick 9 the Western Bulldogs would select Aaron Naughton.
Ah, what a day! Good times...
...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...
Promising young Western Bulldogs defender Aaron Naughton has extended his contract with the Club.
The 18-year-old, who has impressed in his debut season so far, will remain at the Bulldogs until at least the end of the 2020 season.
“We had no hesitation in working on a contract extension for...
How has this kid not received a Rising Star nomination yet?
He's holding down a key back position, he's only 18 and has played seven games.
Amazing effort and an inspired draft selection.
...Recruited from : Rockingham/Peel Thunder
Debut: Round 1 2018 (v GWS)
Bio:
An agile and athletic key defender from Western Australia, Aaron Naughton was drafted to the Kennel with the ninth pick overall in the 2017 NAB AFL Draft.
Standing 194cm weighing 85kg, Naughton played seven games for...
This kid is a jet. I have never seen a cooler first year bigger player. Very composed and already looks to be a lock for round 1 this year.
Excellent draft choice and a bloke that appears that the defence can be built around him. I hope Sam Power extends his contract immediately. It seems to be...
AFL.com.au Profile
In the space of a few weeks late in the season, Aaron Naughton's draft stocks soared like few others in this year's crop. And with good reason.
Following an impressive NAB AFL Under-18 Championships for Western Australia, which saw him earn All Australian honours, Naughton...
Thoughts on what he will become and where he will go? Still have this suspicion that he will bolt up the order from where people have him at the moment based off the back the good carnival results. IE. I think most people have him pegged 20 -40 but I suspect it will be in the teens.
Played for...
A PART of Melbourne dies on Friday - the Naughton's Hotel in Parkville is calling last drinks.
A mainstay to university students, political apparatchiks and Carlton footy teams, Naughton's - built in 1873 - was more than a pub, it was a part of Melbourne's fabric...
...late with this message, but for any Storm fans in Melbourne, you can watch the boys play at both these venues today, with no entry fee:
Naughtons Hotel, op. Melb. Uni. Carlton
(This hotel is now owned by 4 Storm players and all footy people are welcome....no discrimination about which...
