I reckon Naughts is at least worth 2 first round draft picks, one of those being an early pick (1 to 5). I’d hate to see him leave us. Based on his positive demeanour I think he’ll stay with us for a good while.

I wouldn’t trade him for 3 top 10 picks. If we HAD to deal then that’s what I think he’s worth minimum.

Naughton shut down talk of leaving the Dogs for Fremantle after the intra-club match. The Geelong Addy picked it up.

He is a must keep at all costs player only 22 and already has 150 goals after spending an entire season down back. He's that good the Pies sent Moore back after Naughton towelled him up as a forward in Naught's first year.

He will become our greatest ever goal kicker.

The timing of this retirement is a bit strange. I wonder how long he wrestled with the decision?

Andrews and Neale will be co captains at Lions.

I really don't like this Co captain stuff.

Tend to agree but there are some times during a transition period where it makes some sense. Brisbane are in the window so I'm not as convinced it's needed but the players might prefer it.

Brisbane also included about 15 guys in their leadership group, including the mattress man himself.

Reminiscent of Sam Lloyd (although even deeper into preseason)

Had he been told opportunities to play AFL were going to be a bit more limited in 2023 - and decided to walk away

Or does he have injuries that require a lot of rehab in order to be physically able to play?

I can understand why someone might decide they've had enough

This kid Cam Mackenzie the Hawks nabbed from under the Saints NGA with pick 7 in the 22 draft is going to be an absolute gun.

I saw him in the champs and was praying he'd fall through to us! Of course, no chance.

I'm not as convinced on McKenzie but he should be a good player at the senior level. The Saints would have taken him at pick 10 and then given Carlton seemed to be locked on Oliver we would have had the choice between Phillipou or putting a bid in for Fletcher like we did before ultimately selecting Busslinger.

Looks comfortable at the level so far. Very neat, good size and has a heap of time.
