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?

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.

Watch the gf again, Naughton also helped us become premiers

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.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
