I think he’s overrated as a forward but would love him as a kpd. I don’t think pick 3 gets it done tbh I think it’s a little more than that but I would do it given his potential fit, upside and age with our build. blanck naughton Sicily weddle impey Hardwick Mitchell looks a good and balanced back 7 to me. What does that mean for DGB, Bramble, CJ, Scrimshaw would become really interesting, assuming they let BMac develop over next few years and frost Morris would be gone this year or next.
The bloke could end up being a better defender than forward. Like Knights, Sicily et al
IMO Naugton is never going to reach the heights of a gun key forward which is how he is rated by the footy world generally. At some stage you have to deliver more than just the occasional great game. And so I judge him on that basis as a key forward, and hence wouldn’t give up pick 3. If he could not get that consistency whilst playing in a free flowing decent side for the last 5 years, he isn’t going to get there.
Putting aside the cost to get him, there are countless examples of players switching positions and being much more successful. We have one of the best in James Sicily - very few thought that would work and here we are. It’s also simplistic to say as it hasn’t worked at the dogs it can’t work elsewhere, again players change clubs and do better all the time. In addition the dogs are absolutely terrible with the inside 50 kick and as highlighted this week the forwards don’t separate, so they constantly have multiple forwards jumping creating huge packs where it is impossible to mark. I’m giving my opinion that I think he could make an elite defender and I would love to have him. Even as a forward partnering Lewis he’s a massive upgrade on anything we have or likely to get at pick 3 (again in my opinion).
I'd pay that too. Anyone who wouldn't, just watch this game. 19 years old, against the best side in the competition. He's already worth a lot but he showed in this game that he can still go to another level. Genuinely unstoppable.
Is there a chance of a bid for Walter at pick 2? I'd imagine North would be all over him. Also I just presume the draft order will stay the same, but I actually watched North against Essendon this week, and they'll certainly bank a few more wins this year if they play like that. Wardlaw, by jove does he look the goods.
Yes a good chance. Suns academy kids not doing them favours by playing well. That said they are not in trouble it’s just about maximising their haul. Worst case they can trade their first to crows swans dees for 2 first/seconds and get all 3. The art is how do they get ahead of Walter bid and still get enough points to get all 3. Watson on top of their 3 would be amazing. For hawks we would need to acquire another second round pick. Then trade would look something like:
McAndrews has serious “DH issues even for the GC”. Starting from a way back to make him an Alir for example. However I like you’re thinking, depends on what we do with CJ.
What size is Andrew, and I can’t see us giving up pick 3 and our 2023 2nd for Pick 8 and Andrews.
Just read that this is Doedoo's second ACL. Should avoid him then. Georgiades I'd take the risk on. He'd be close to fit at the start of next season.
We should have picked him in the draft lol
Keep Andrews we want GCS 2023 First rounder and F1 for pick 3
Yuk. No thanks.
Naughton... And no club is thinking twice
I don't know where this idea he isn't consistent from, he hits the scoreboard most weeks, competes well at ground level. Is probably the biggest areial threat in the league and one of the best of all time. His goal kicking is definitely not amazing but outside of that he is everything you want in a modern day key forward.
No thanks, the cost of trading up from 8 to 3 would be huge. Andrew has not shown enough as of yet for me to be comfortable with that and the off field issue as well.
