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.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
