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.

Nudges rumours are more plausable than this thread.

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

My post isn't for us.My post is into the mix

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.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
