Naugton gets talked up so much, wouldn't swap him for any of ours. Overrated 

Beauty is in the eye... Imagine having him AND Ben Brown... that would be amazing.

    No thanks.  Can't stand the bloke.  Hardly any tricks unless it's down his throat

    IMO carltons ball use is poor

    They lack defensive running, but with more preseasons for their young players - this will come 

    And their backline is leaky - weitering is a gun but i don't rate their other KPD's and i dont think their rebounders are very accountable defensively

    Not Umpire bashing but normally free kicks even themselves out over the year. The dogs just get more than their fair share week after week. Either they are doing something right or something is very very wrong.

    I think there is a specific thread for this sort of comment 😍

    Yes but let's not that get in a good way of a rosy red and blue glasses..

    If Naughton was in Melbourne jumper and making this kind of impact at the Dees people like ucanchoose would be hailing him the next Wayne Carey..

    Naughton is a star and would make our forward line significantly better in a whole new level. He actually would have someone else to take the heat off him like Ben Brown unlike at the Dogs where he's copping the best defender each week and having zero support from the other forwards.

    Kicked 47 goals as a 21 year old last year and has already kicked 22. He's well on his way to kicking 50 plus this year.

    Can't handle opposite views old dazzle.    He only scores goals when it's down his throat.  System player for a team that chips it around.    He wouldn't be any good in our system of bombing it long and locking it in.   Back to the blocklist.  Can't understand why you came off it

    Surely you’re having a laugh! The guy is a star and I for one, would love to have him in our forward line.

    He looks to much like Michael Bolton (singer for you youngsters)for my liking

    Entitled to have  an opinion.   7 possessions and didn't look like getting near it in 2 of 3 quarters so far.

    Down his throat? Come on, you’re coming across as someone who’s never seen him play for more than five minutes. 
     

    He launches at everything and often plucks it when he has no right to. 
    A fair chunk of this seasons goals have come from crumbing, quite a few on his opposite foot. 
    His biggest knock is set shot accuracy. Again he’s 22 and improving. 
     

    Every single team in the comp would pay overs to get him.

    There's having views then there's this garbage there you tend to spew out half the time.

    Aaron Naughton being overrated is up there being one of the funniest things I've read on here.

    They are better than us of 2018...

    The area of weakness I see with them is their mids are not yet fully committed to the defensive part of the game and when they break even or worse on contested ball it puts the defence under a lot of pressure and they concede scores.

    We bat a lot deeper...but don't underrate them.

    Rubbish. 

    10 rounds in we were 7-3, had scored 100 more points and conceded 100 fewer points. That's including beltings against Hawthorn and Richmond. 

    They are definitely similar to our 2018 but suggesting they are already better isn't accurate.

    They're good but not better.

    Mate your garbage about Melksham getting picked in the teams thread was the biggest pile of garbage ever written on this site

    Two of his three goals today have been under pressure, one a snapped goal and the other a strong contested mark. If he’d kicked a little straighter, he’d have five goals. When he’s not marking, he’s getting the ball to ground for the crumbers.

    Enjoyable game,  bulldogs just a little too much.   Gold Coast had plenty of grit

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
