Could be it. But I distinctly remember the part H2F described about Beatson saying he'd take the piss out of the speculation if it were false.

I think Beatson made the comments on Gettable in 2023.

 

[Callipygian]

I spoke directly to someone who certainly knows and they said that the club never met with Naughton or his manager and no offer was ever tabled. I specifically referenced the fact that Beatson had suggested otherwise and they insisted the club had not. I infer Beatson was merely conceding that he inquired. I trust my source speaking to me privately over what Beatson said publicly.

JJ gets a nice wrap in the Mongrel.

The Winners and Losers of Round Two - The Mongrel Punt

Plenty of winners, and plenty of losers to get through in Round Two. Let’s not beat around the bush. We’ll jump right on in. THE WINNERS JOSH BATTLE How do you think Josh is feeling about his decision to move to Hawthorn? He is sitting in a back six with James Sickly and Tom Barrass as his...

There is no reason for Beatson to publicly fabricate that we had a crack at Naughton.

Unless your source is Tom Harley, them not having knowledge doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Bucks on Syd v Freo. "Low-scoring, enthralling game of football from start to finish."

First five minutes:


Fun fact. Champion Data bloke Hoyne's weekly question was: which team has scored 1 goal in the last 10 minutes of the last quarter in its last 5 games?
Answer: Freo has kicked 1 goal, conceded 74 points in that period
Starts 22:25

A little drive by mention at the end of this article relating to clubs that could use Bailey Fritch if he leaves.

Rivals tipped to pursue "clinical finisher"

"He is, in many ways, emblematic of Melbourne's decline."

Was very close to Joel Smith in more ways than one , we don't need those types like him and JUH if that's okay

Plenty of our young lads and ladies get up to similar things tbh

Does that make it Good ? They sign massive contracts that lays it all out and not many have what JUH has done , Wayne Carey like

Working on hearsay and gossip in JUHs case. I haven't even bothered to go down the rabbit hole to acquaint myself with what you know. I'm assuming it's drugs based on the comments in here. Why haven't there been drug suspensions so far. I'm assuming he's being tested. He wasn't saying it was good but perhaps you shoud take it easy on the lynch mob mentality and understand that its a young person with a lot of expectation and not a perfect human being.

Far from perfect , it's nothing to do with an Alistair mob mentality. Maybe he can't play because of testing
Would've been so happy to have him 2 years ago , but no way know

Yes so he stops kicking bags on us

May i ask fairly , what do you think is a bag ? and what are his totals against us and probably since he's been there we might've won more games than them

Fair call Bedders. Just the one bag of 5 whilst averaging less than 2 over 10 games. 6-4 to us in the head-to-head.

Great get LaV!
The quality of questions from Gerard and Gary goes up too. Brilliant.

I mentioned it yesterday on GD , it's fantastic

His last 3 games against us he’s kicked 12 goals win or lose. It’s probably why some feel as though he has played well against us.

He's very sneaky smart rather than an elusive runner or high marker or pack crasher. Needs someone like a clamps or JJ who will have laser-like focus on him to the exclusion of all else. Wicks? Not sure. Roberts is big enough.
