Naughton surgery a success
Naughton surgery a success
Emerging forward Aaron Naughton remains in contention for the Western Bulldogs’ season-opener against Collingwood next month.
Naughton had arthroscopic surgery on Saturday to address a cartilage concern with his right knee - the opposite knee to the injury he sustained at the end of 2019.
The minor procedure went well, and a conservative approach will be taken during the 20-year-old’s rehabilitation process.
Naughton is expected to resume running next week, before building back into football training ahead of the season.

I just hope that he comes back as the same fearless player that sees ball and flies for ball.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

That Tigers game last season comes to mind. What an unbelievable game he had.
