Naughton averaging 80 is one of those picks you either pay for or spend all season watching from the outside wishing you had.
The Numbers
80.1 SuperCoach average — 11.8 disposals, 5.4 marks, 2.6 goals per game. At 26, still in his prime. Consistent output across multiple scoring sources.
Role & Opportunity
Western Bulldogs build their game plan around Naughton, and nothing we’re hearing from preseason suggests that changes. At $478,400, there’s an argument he’s underpriced for his output.
From what we’ve seen at training, Naughton looks sharp. Leaner and quicker than last year.
SuperCoach Verdict
Consider — talent is there, price needs justifying. At $478,400, you need him to hold his average to justify the spend.
Betting Angle
Naughton’s disposal line will sit around 12.5 — worth tracking early rounds when the market is still settling. Goal markets are interesting too given his dual-threat role.
