Slated to return
Naughton (ribs) is slated to play in Round 15 against West Coast, according to head of sports medicine Chris Bell. "We'll monitor Aaron this week but remain optimistic that he'll be available to play the Eagles."
ANALYSIS
Naughton took a blow to the side in the Round 14 loss to Geelong but he only needs to keep up his fitness in training to remain available against the Eagles. With over 100 points scored in two of his last three full matches, Naughton can be a major play at forward.

Ribs hurt in loss
Naughton suffered a rib injury during Friday's 83-78 loss to Geelong in Round 14, according to Mitch Cleary of AFL.com.
ANALYSIS
Naughton can be one of the Bulldogs' heavy hitters in fantasy but he took a big hit to the chest on the second quarter siren. With over 100 points scored in two of the last four matches, Naughton is worth following as news on his situation develops.

One goal, five behinds in win
Naughton scored one goal and five behinds to go with 19 disposals (13 kicks, six handballs) and 13 marks made during Sunday's 93-65 win over Fremantle.
ANALYSIS
Naughton did well to set a new season-high in marks taken during a single game as he also tied his season-high in behinds. He's still scored over 100 fantasy points in two of the last three matches and could be given the benefit of the doubt as long as the Bulldogs keep winning games.
