What a weird answer to the question.Small forwards have it over the talls at this point in time. I am biased and will say Dan Butler is the best of them all under 25. In two years time though, Max King will have the title.
What a weird answer to the question.
Yeh I hope he does wellThanks Richmond
Naughton way Overrated here, flip a coin on the king twins, ill go Ben.
Naughton is a freak contested mark but he still needs to work on his forward craft for mine. Has time on his side though.Naughton was handicapped by playing alongside witches hat Josh Schache in 2019 and still led contested marks in the comp after 22 rounds.
He's right up there.
Nick Larkey should be in the conversation. What happened to Mitch Lewis hawks fans? He looked good last year.
I think the Kings are more complete forwards at this point, especially Max. Naughton has the ability to go down back as well but I think he has holes in his game as a forward.Naughton to be the best player of the lot. Can play CHF and FF, taking contested marks up the wing or out of the goal square. Could have probably been one of the best of his generation as a KPD as well.
If it wasn't for him, either of the Kings will be generational in their positions.
Agreed to an extent but Naughton is the much raw-er talent forward-wise, he'll grow the position as time progresses. His contested marking is just about the best in the league, his mobility for his size is elite and has a very good ground-ball game. He has all the tangible skills to be the best, just needs to work on his craft a bit more but I have no doubt he will be the best of the lot. Completely subjective though, I understand.I think the Kings are more complete forwards at this point, especially Max.

Yeah like you said it is absolutely subjective, so you absolutely could be right but he is no guarantee to improve it.Agreed to an extent but Naughton is the much raw-er talent forward-wise, he'll grow the position as time progresses.

My point was more that Naughton will become the best player in terms of his versatility and his ability to dominate around the ground, not just inside 50. Forward-wise he is very raw but as I said before, he is extremely talented.
Yeah 100%. It's super polarising in the Dogs camp whether he should be playing KPD or KPF especially with the prospect of JUH coming in. Definitely not the worst problem to have.Yeah like you said it is absolutely subjective, so you absolutely could be right but he is no guarantee to improve it.
If Tim O’Brien could hold a mark he would be a really solid AFL player, unfortunately i have been saying that for 5 years.
I see no real weakness in either of the King twins and the leg speed of Ben is a real difference maker. Honestly wouldn’t surprise me if any of these 3 end of the best, I also wouldn’t be surprised if Naughton ended up a great CHB if the Dogs can find other key forwards (JUH) possibly.
I'm a fan. Moves very well given his height. Though it's annoying how North seem to be able to find good forwards with late draft picksNick Larkey ranks 3rd in goals per game this year, he's 22. He won't get the love of these other guys but has shown a lot in his two years of footy. In 2018 as a 20 year old he won the VFL league goal kicking.
King boys obvious options other than that, couldn't tell you enough of a difference between the two to pick one.
Ben King is infront of Max King at the moment but each game i think that gap is getting smaller and smaller ... honestly if either of these king boys played for one of the big 4 Vic clubs the frothage would be uncontrolable ... both are going to be out and out STARS of the comp
Agree with this. Would take him over Hipwood in a heartbeatNaughton was handicapped by playing alongside witches hat Josh Schache in 2019 and still led contested marks in the comp after 22 rounds.
He's right up there.
