Player Watch Best young Key Forwards -Curnow,Hipwood,Naughton,McKay, King Brothers

[MickG88]

Bud, you didn’t make any points yourself.

Stating you “think” Naughton and King would be better than Curnow and McKay, isn’t a “valid point”… try giving some reasons why they’d be a better duo before criticising others for their comments.

Champ, my comment was an opinion. If you want to tell me my opinion is wrong maybe try and do better than "ha ha ha". Then I want feel the need to comeback with sarcasm.

 

[Some Idiot]

Naughton is better served playing the Scott Lucas/Robin to Batman type of role in all honesty.

Although he's quite good leading up on to the wings, he doesn't quite have the booming left foot kick that Lucas used to good effect.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

I don't understand the negative vibe towards Naughton, if he was at the Saints I would be stoked. Both him and King in a team would be unstoppable up forward. They would be a better 1, 2 combo than McKay and Curnow.

Naughton would be a centre half back at Carlton.

Playing second fiddle to Weitering ofc

Your “opinion” is just dazzling, how could I disagree with your valid “opinion”.

 

[Engimal v3]

None of them are very good unfortunately

 

[WilloTree]

Well, down at Freo our young tall forwards are so good they don't even need to kick or mark.

They just blow it through with Superman-style wind power.

Thanks for the acknowledgement. I'm glad you can see the light.

You guys really need one so that would be a perfect fit.

The clubhouse leader returns this week hopefully Still has a nice little gap on the others, but has his work cut out to stay ahead.

Rafa for the win!

Yep Larkey is back this week from suspension

 

[GroggSquad]

Larkey has really left Hipwood, Naughton, King brothers etc. in the dust hasn't he.

Crazy he couldn't even make this thread title.

He has but isn't he a few seasons older than King bros and Naughton?

Drafted a year after Hipwood, who is in the title.

Fair enough.

I just checked. Hipwood is 26 and Larkey is 25

King brothers 22 and Naughton 23.

Will be interesting to see the later 3 in 3 seasons time.

Larkey is younger than Curnow, McKay & Hipwood, so he falls comfortably in the middle of this conversation.

Naughton is 18 months younger than Larkey and was spoken about like the next Wayne Carey earlier in this thread. He's had an underwhelming 2022 & 2023 considering the hype. Needs to take a massive step up in 2024.

Agree with Naughton he seems to be the same player he was in 2021 now.

Larkey has been improving slowly every season.

Ben King had the ACL so it's hard to judge his output this year.

Max likewise with his shoulder but personally no way he would have kicked 70+ but think he could do it in the coming seasons.

 

[Juddernaut08]

thread title needs an update. a lot of these are no longer young

Think he was more exciting in 21 than 22/23. Naughty doesn't seem to leap and kill packs (or almost himself). I can only assume it's coaching for longevity in the game

Hipwood has serious competition in the Lions forward line though. Larkey has 71 and the next best is Stephenson on 26.

At the Lions

Cameron -53
Daniher - 51
Hipwood - 39
Bailey - 26
McCarthy - 23
Gunston - 22
Rayner - 20

Jye Amiss is promising

should be on the list. I'd take him over everyone on that list except Curnow.

 

[branedotorg]

probably time for a generation next version of this thread, just so we can exclude mitch lewis all over again

 

[TheBigHorne]

So uh, what constitutes as young here. Curnow is 26, he's been in the league for 8 seasons which would be around the half-way point of his career.

23 and younger imo. In terms of actual young KPFs it's hard to go past the King brothers, McDonald, JUH and Amiss. The order can be however you like but they're all top prospects.
