An agile and athletic tall from Western Australia, Aaron Naughton was drafted to the Kennel with pick nine in the 2017 AFL Draft. Rated by scouts as the best intercept marker in his draft class, Naughton debuted in Round 1, 2018 and went on to play 18 games in his first season of senior football. Holding down a key defensive post, Naughton's outstanding debut year was capped off with a fourth place finish in the best-and-fairest count, winning the Chris Grant Best First Year Player Award and earning a NAB AFL Rising Star nomination. In his second season at AFL level, Naughton was flipped forward and emerged as one of the game’s rising stars. He slotted a career-best 51 goals from 22 games in 2022 to claim a third-place finish in the Charles Sutton Medal count.

The Bulldogs spearhead is hopeful the team can continue notching up the wins.
AARON Naughton will spearhead the Western Bulldogs' attack as Luke Beveridge's charges attempt to turn over a rejuvenated Fremantle for a second time this season.
The energetic forward says he’s more than happy to regain Aaron Naughton’s company inside 50 against the Dockers.
Western Bulldogs acknowledge that we work, train and play on the traditional lands of the Kulin Nation. We offer our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
