    Agreed. We've taken measures to improve our defence over the past few years in drafting a key defender, mid-size defender, and recruiting mature versions of each, yet the claim was we haven't prioritised our defence.

    You could also argue we drafted Darcy knowing he could swing into defence as well as he's developing.

    What does that look like do we think G?

    I know we take the mick out of pressure acts, however I think this is his bread and butter.

    Tackles, pressure acts, link up play.

    If he snags a goal that's the cream on the cake.

    I was trying to think how we would spread the Libba load - you've pretty much nailed it I reckon.

    Was thinking Caleb or Weightman (after training reports) maybe might pinch hit?
    I would like to see Naughton have a few centre bounce appearances as I think he could add a real difference in critical games.

    Good opportunity to try it.

    That's left field, never thought of that before have to say it's a reasonable suggestion. He's like a cat when it hits the deck.
    Love the idea, doubt very much Bevo would go for it though.
    He'd be all right as a follower type ruckman scrapping for that second ball.

    I would love it if we turned Naughton into a ruck, just for the laughs around here!

    Kicking a goal or two and not missing it would be a huge help for him. He just needs to game where his natural attributes shine a bit.

    The other day Granty mentioned he felt sorry for Essendon. I respectfully informed him that attitude might get him a two week ban from WOOF
    While Naughton into the ruck would generate some traffic for us I'd prefer we don't go there

    I suspect that Grantysghost meant as inside mid rather than as tap.
