He nearly won the match for us and shows how important good KPFs are. A really good contract extension.
Just a massive fan. Sticky fingers, athletic, mobile, aggressive and a decent set shot. Just what you want in a Kpf. Hope Bev leaves him there.

For the love of god someone get me a highlights package of this kids year so far. His 3rd quarter was just immense. When he can do that for a full game watch the **** out.
Moore was a really good match up for him because he can match him with mobility and has the long reach to spoil but because Naughtys not strong enough to out body him yet.
The thing is in 3 or 4 years Naughty will absolutely ragdoll the Moore types who can keep up with him and very few players who will be able to match him for size/strength will be able to get near him.

Not many blokes playing AFL who can pack mark like Naughton did in the third. Was exciting.

He's already better than Weitering....
The next Wayne Carey is Aaron Naughton. But unlike the former the kid has brains and social values.

Was talking to Adam Simpson over the weekend and he reckons Naughton is the best young KPF in the league. Said the Eagles wanted him badly.

Did they view him as a forward during his draft year as then?

Naughton should return to the backline. And only pinch hit in the forward line as a last resort

At least until we can actually kick it to his advantage. We are 18th for converting i50s to goals.
Naughton was played as the deep forward today and was slaughtered by his team mates. Didn’t kick it to him or when they did his team mates got in the way.
Far better utilised at CHF like he was against Collingwood in the 3rd Quarter. He wasn’t helped in this regard by team selection. Persist with him at CHF!

We need another tall forward for Naughton to have an impact. Or at least kick it to his advantage. Praying either Schache or Toyd come good.
Naughtons strength is when he gets a decent run at the ball and can launch. There's probably only a handful of players in the league better than him in that situation. But to do so he needs another big guy next to him to draw defenders. He didn't have that today and it's why he didn't create problems for Carlton. Poor coaching by Bevo. If Trengove plays that second ruck/deep forward role today then Naughton is 100% more effective.
Right now there’s a danger this goes down the Weitering path (young gun key defender who can take marks so gets pushed forward, loses all confidence and has development stunted). Leave the kid in the backline to develop. Play Schache & Trengrove forward until Boyd is ready. Naughton in the backline & two key forwards in the team won’t harm our chances of winning games at all.
But if you 100% must play him forward put another ****ing talk bloke in there so he’s not solo against 2 key backs!!!

Except Weitering showed next to nothing as a forward and wasn't moved there for any other reason than they were desperately worried they had a flop on their hands. Relax, he will be fine.
