Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2025 Part 2

[Boohemian]

**** sakes. Just announce the entire team already. You're not going to steal attention time away from the Ashes in any meaningful fashion anyway.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Can we play Naughton as a defender?

 

[ioppolo]

Brad Hill, because there's no one else better who's willing to play?

Can we play Naughton as a defender?

Taylor and Barrass would have the key def posts (if fit) youd imagine

Freeing up Naughton to play as an intercepting third man, a position I can't believe the Bulldogs refuse to try him in.

Not completely against it

But he finished the season on fire up fwd this year. Last 9 games averaged 14 possies 7 marks and 4 goals a game

Supposedly he was the one who complained about playing as a backman and wanted to play as a forward.

 

[RookiePick]

Ridiculous that the Bullies aren't playing their 60 goal forward in the backline.

Bevo is a dangerous man I tell you!

Good on him now but that was back when he couldn't kick a goal to save his life and they had Darcy + JUH in there.

Considering they brought back the ghost of Liam Jones to play as a KPD, and how they've desperately tried to trade for one, it was a bit of a n-brainer to play him there instead of having 3 KPFs.

 

[Truckosaurus]

The last few years they've had tall forwards coming out of their ears and a desperate need for a quality KPD - not that wild a suggestion to take their least reliable set shot, who played as a backman as a junior and is a fantastic contested mark and see if you can rob Peter to pay Paul.

 

[Bender_]

Trucko just wants Bevo to play Naughton back so Busslinger can continue to not get a game and we can finally swoop in and grab him.

They were bereft of tall forwards for so long too - basically Chris Grant era until now

Remember when they brought in Barry Hall?

 

[ioppolo]

Two blokes not being able to budge his choke hold at all is still too good.

Kicking him in the nuts would've done it.

 

[mattyc75]

BigFooty wasn't on the banned u16 sites... will we be flooded by young whipper snappers?

Ahh i remember the Alphy days

Needs some more Mids. Hopefully development pathways start selecting and prioritizing Mids because thats where WA will lose it.
