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

He’s 22. 

[Diamond_Jim 12,774]

Naughton in the scheme of things is rather good

[Sir Why You Little 37,459]

Naughton would be a Superb 2nd Forward. 
He isn’t big enough to be the Primary

[Diamond_Jim 12,774]

Close one at Geelong Gardens

[MrFreeze 2,055]

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 

[At Least I Saw a Flag 5,353]

That booing at Jee-long is doing my head in.

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.

Great topspin goal from Chol!

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

If every team would pay it, it’s not overs, it’s just his worth.

(Because I know what you were looking for was some pedant to nitpick on a single line of your post 😁)

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.  

[Sir Why You Little 37,459]

Has Gary Rohan had a kick yet? 

[ucanchoose 1,816]

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