    Re: Naughton to Fullback, English Full forward

    Naughton hits a lead against Adelaide that’s probably the best I’ve ever seen. Sprints up into the empty space slightly too early (call an ambulance!), only to double back around and bolt back to the goalsquare to mark a perfect touch pass from Macrae (but not for me!). I can only assume that sorta stuff is why everyone always raves about Carey so much.

    He’s a natural. We must persevere with him up forward.

    Re: Naughton to Fullback, English Full forward

    Given our midfield and the way we've structured up last year, we will play a mid as a high forward and push them up to the contest.
    Bont in this would be phenomenal - he plays at the stoppage whenever the ball is in our forward half

    Also heard that Naughts wants to play CHB but I don't know the validity of this.
    I find that difficult to believe. He seems to love being the big show in the forward line, has massive swagger when he's on.

    Had massive swagger wherever he plays, gave it to Daniher as a defender in 2018.

    Well, not with an attitude like that he wont!

    He’s at 59% set shot accuracy or his goal/behind ratio is 59%?
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Although his action is awkward I think it is quite mechanical and repeatable so I think he can become a fairly reliable set shot.

    No doubt he has to work on his set shot ratio (which I don't have). Can always improve.

    2020 15.6 from 22 shots (68.2%)

    Career 49.34 from 93 shots (52.7%)

    That's all shots though, not sure where to find set shot stats. Seems to have been an improvement though, be interesting to see if it continues next year with hopefully a greater volume of shots and goals.

    Is our defence really that bad? Most of our issues has been due to the lack of defending in the midfield.

    True but the net result's often the same, a wobbly backline under perpetual siege while our forwards rot.

    The luxury of seconding Naughts back as things dictate is an enticing one, especially if we can can fashion something that clicks forward of centre given more scope now to utilise Bont & English as targets.

    Going to be fascinating charting the Xs and Os of our forward setups in 2021. Doubly so if Jamarra puts himself in the mix.

    Re: Naughton to Fullback, English Full forward

    The only reason we will need a backline is to stop their forwards floating back and keep them honest.
    The ball won't make past Centre next year and after we win the flag the AFL will get rid of the 6, 6, 6 rule at ball ups.
