Lets hope Naughty has a great game
There's his nickname! I was starting to get worried that he would have to debut before we could devise a nickname for him. Well done Gary.
And well done to Naughty as well on your selection. I hope you have a great debut.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs - Aaron Naughton
Is there a tech-savvy poster out there that can make a GIF of Naughton's dummy in the second quarter yesterday?
Sent three forwards AND the cameraman in the wrong direction.
19 year olds shouldn't be able to do that.

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs - Aaron Naughton
I was more impressed at the way he watches the ball off the boot in the second half. Just sees it before anyone else. Will be an intercept marking beast in time.

Agree 100% I also noticed this too. His ability to read where the ball is going is first class. His reaction was well ahead of those around him. This is almost impossible to teach as it is such an innate skill.

Dunno, Bevo was calling him "Ed" repeatedly in the presser. 😅😅😅

Reckon Bevo was thinking of Ed Norton from Jackie Gleeson's The Honeymooners.

Or potentially the famous actor of the last 20 odd years from Fight Club, Hulk, American History X, ad infinitum
I’m not sure too many people are picking up Honeymooners references anymore

Drop that phone
Sleep on the floor

I dunno. I reckon that Bevo was as likely to have watched a Honeymooners episode as he was likely to have seen a Hollywood blockbuster.
You'd never be able to use a line like "one of these days Alice... pow right in the kisser" anymore it seems like another world.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Bevo mentioned Fight Club after he said it
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

Re: Welcome to the Western Bulldogs - Aaron Naughton
In the Coaches votes, one of the coaching groups rated Naughton the 2nd best player on theground in this weeks Swans game. Huge praise as most didn't include him in the best players. Would be interesting to know if it was our coaches or Swans that rated him so highly.
