Late to the party but love the Naughton news. Gotta pay market and you build teams around key forwards. The prospect of a long term with Marra is tremendously exciting. In my memory it would be the first long term pairing of genuinely star key forwards we have ever had.
SEN: SYDNEY ADMIT THEY ?HAD A CRACK? AT NAUGHTON
Dang it! Sydney had really big plan this trade period.Quote:
Sydney Swans general manager of list strategy Kinnear Beatson admits the Swans had a crack at luring Western Bulldogs forward Aaron Naughton to the harbour city.
Naughton recently signed on at the Whitten Oval on an eight-year extension through to the end of 2032. That deal was signed off the back of intense rival interest from the Swans among other clubs.
Reports following Naughton?s re-signing suggested Sydney tabled a deal worth more than $11 million over 10 years, and Beatson did concede the Swans certainly ?had a go? at recruiting the 23-year-old.
While they missed out on Naughton, Beatson said the Swans simply had to have a look at bringing a player of his calibre into the club.
Update 12/Oct: Sarah Olle and Josh Gabelich on Trade Radio reported Swans offered Naughton a 10y contract offer and forced our hands with an 8y one.
