It doesn't eventually, but for 20/22 year old key position players it does IMO (unless they're complete duds).

Where would Jackson go if he was in the draft this year? How about Naughton? Guarantee you 99% of people (outside of those on Demonland who have now turned on him and are desperate for a key forward) would have Jackson going first out of the two.

Yes - but that is still a reflection of what his perceived worth is now. Not what was initially paid for him.

    Jackson - Pick 3, Rising Star winner, Premiership player, 20 years old.

    Naughton - Pick 9, 22 years old.

    I get it, I really want a key forward too and obviously people have 'turned' somewhat on Jackson on Demonland, but you guys are kidding yourselves if you think their worth on the market is the same.

    Jackson worth higher then Naughton?

    Sheesh.. I would say Naughton is every bit worth more then Jackson who realistically hasn't achieved the same on field output what Naughton has.

    Naughton Kicked 47.40 as a 21 year old playing as their main full forward in a grand final year. 

    This year alone as a 22 year old Naughton kicked 51 goals whereas Jackson was poor.

    His natural trajectory as a key forward is certainly sky rocketing towards being a 60-70 goal a year over the next few years. That alone is worth more then Jackson

    The big talented key forwards is what teams will pay more their worth over a ruckman.

    Guys like Naughton, Ben King, Max King and Harry McKay are gold nuggets that teams would happily cough up for a couple of first rounders as a starting point.

    Rising Star, Premiership player.

    Who would go first if they were being drafted this year?

    Rate Naughton very highly, but we're talking market worth here.

    I'll leave it at that, don't wanna back over it too many times. Understand if others have a differing opinion on Demonland.

    Out of interest, does chook have good mail on this sort of stuff? 

    I mean, I'm sure we'd have interest and have reached out to a number of forwards' managers etc. 

    Why has this particular one grown legs on Demonland when not a word has been said in the media?

    Jason Johannison would go first. Norm Smith, Premiership player

    Do you really think clubs add a premium based on those? Lewis Taylor won a Rising Star. Jacob Townsend was an impactful player in a Premiership side. Club BnF finishes would hold more weight.

    It's just an indication of the players worth on the market.

    Let's not take this to silly places now with comparisons based on awards and premierships, we all recognize there's more to it than that alone right?

    Anyways, we're not getting Naughton either way. I'm tapping out as promised.

    It’s grown legs because of wishful thinking. 

    we’ve lost Jackson and will most likely have to pay overs and trade a first rounder for Grundy and are desperate for a forward. Getting Naughton in many minds softens those blows. 

    never mind that there is no noise whatsoever about Naughton anywhere in the media. 

    his face would be plastered on every trade wrap and whispers story like Jackson & Grundy. there is nadda about him. 

    Mods should close this thread. It ain’t happening.

    Naughton is the best Under 23 Key forward in the game(better than both Kings),Bevo is a bit of a nutcase but there's no way he's leaving the Kennel.

     

    Naughton would burn out in 1 season putting up with Goodwin's idiotic,repetitive Long Bombs all day!!!

     

    Steven May kicks in to the same left flank all day,mids bomb the ball to the same spot all day.

     

    Hmmm,i wonder why we went 6-8!!!

    Naughton is a contracted FF who is 22. If we can give whatever we get for LJ to the Dogs for Naughton - we would do that in a heartbeat.

    Firstly he is contracted and secondly he is exactly what we need right now.

    Probably because the Trade Whisperer, ET, raised it. So it must be a done deal.

    One difference LJ was a positive Naughton a negative as he didn't ever threaten to score goals ( too far away from FF) like HD did early doors in replay at G in Round1.  Stevie May got him agsin with Tmacs help.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
