    Re: AFL great urges Dogs to switch Naughton back as current mix ?can?t win finals?

    What is the downside to playing Naughton down back for 6 weeks?

    In 2023 we really struggled to win the ball back and 2024 has started off the same way.

    He's a shocking kick for one.

    I think that ship has well and truly sailed.

    Liam Jones was fantastic on Sunday. Adding Naughton down back won't change much when you've got players who don't want to chase or defend. Oliver outran half our side from one end to the other to setup an easy goal. It was the start of the 2nd quarter....

    I'm not sure about 6 weeks, but he was getting a bath from May in Round 1 so perhaps 5 minutes or so to get the ball in his hands and break up our structure, and try something different?
