1. Naughton wants to be the big dog up forward. I love his swagger and aerial confidence.....but ultimately if he can't improve his goalkicking by 10-15% then he's not going to be able to perform this key forward role long term, once Bruce is back.


There is nothing more deflating that seeing him take a massive mark in goalscoring range, only to repeatedly squander the ensuing shot(s) on goal. If he can't fix this, then he must move to defense once we have the personnel up forward. I'd much rather us use his unique talents to our advantage by having him at CHB.

That'll do for me.

It's the worst! I get so pumped when he clutches one and then, within a millisecond, I'm thinking "he's gonna miss!". Which, I assume, he prob thinks a bit also given he misses so often.

He should be unstoppable. Soon teams will start letting him take marks. He can have all the ball he wants in certain areas of the 50 cause he'll miss. It'll turn into a real liability.

Sadly I think teams have worked they out. Let Naughton mark , even. 30 out , 50% chance he misses ; so expect 1 point . Win possession of ball . Or kick to Naughton who does not mark and goal on the rebound

Do you really believe that opposition teams let Naughton mark the ball 30 metres from goal, on the 50% chance he misses?

Then Naughty goes and kicks a right foot goal from the boundary for not the first time either. He is a conundrum.
