Recommitted Aaron Naughton [re-signed for EIGHT years!]

[Cotchins Hair Piece]

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.

Makes complete sense when you look at each club's needs.

However it is very rare that emerging key forwards get traded

 

[Milanista28]

Now these are the rumors I like to see

 

[_007_]

Jackson to Freo
Naughton to Melbourne
Lobb to WB

Everyone wins

 

[Cudi]

Is this the rumours board?

 

[rgauci]

Can’t believe we getting both Naughton and Jackson. Clear the decks

 

[BG32]

Can’t believe we are getting Naughton for Jackson. Clear the decks

 

[weltschmerz]

Love a good rectally sourced rumour

 

[Duskfire]

Bulldogs wanted two first rounders for Dunkley, what are they going to want for Naughton? 4?

He is contracted for a couple more years I think? To pry him from Bulldogs would require an astronomical amount of picks. Key forwards don't come easy.

Straight swap for Lobb…

How on earth does that make sense for the dogs?

Because they bringing lobb in. Long terms Darcy will be a forward. Norts, juH, Darcy and lobbe don't all fit into that forward line

 

[WWSD]

There’s a better chance of Tom Boyd coming out of retirement and playing for the Bulldogs next year then there is of Naughton being traded.

Naughton is a better forward than Lobb and Darcy has been playing kpd.

Thatd be a s**t deal for dogs.

Heard the same

Wants to move closer to his dealer (Too Rack)

No doubt it's a s**t deal. I really don't think the deal is on the cards but stranger things have happened. Let's pretend it is real, dogs could have told nortz they plan to shift him back as he has previous experience there, he may have told them to shove it and go to Melbourne where they are screaming for a key forward

More likely they'd just continue to play darcy in defence.

Would certainly spice up the trade period though

I honestly think Darcy down back is a really short term option. Apprenticeship of sorts. Game is in front of him and can play his own game without getting beaten up.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Being involved in a 3 way swap to send a WA KPF to another Melbourne club instead of us would be peak Freo

 

[Superstar swan]

The chance of a 3 way player swap is extremely remote. Not too many player for player deals gets done anymore
