      Perhaps his injuries or maybe a go home factor, Naughton wanted to come to Victoria and I think he can play both ends of the ground

          Man I was hoping for Fogarty. Well it’s all history now. But gee he looked awesome.

              Can I ask why? It's not exactly an area we lack numbers in.

              All of Trengrove Adams Cordy Roberts Young Collins and now Naughton are competing for 1 or 2 spots (against Morris for one probably).

                Someone should have taken a punt on Liam Ryan last year.

                  I can't believe the quality of the players still available. Weak draft? No way

                      Morris could retire at the end on 2018 so that opens it up a bit down there. I think we have a good number of forwards now Boyd/Schache will be great to watch. The injury factor as well opens up some opportunities.

                            Adams may play forward, Morris could fall away, Young is still only potential and Collinns and Roberts probably are only depth.

                            If Naughton is as good as some think then theres easily a spot for him in our side over the next couple of seasons.

                                I suppose it comes down to how much more you rate him compared to others available because there is definitely room for anyone who can kick a goal in the team regardless of who falls away.
