‘Got him in the wrong spot’: Bulldogs dealt big blow as star forced out with concussion
The Western Bulldogs ’ Aaron Naughton was forced off the field due to concussion after what looked to be a relatively innocuous bump late in the second quarter against Port Adelaide .
The incident occurred when the Bulldogs had the ball on the left boundary and close to the 50 metre line.But just as he tried to nip in front of the Port Adelaide defender, Zerk-Thatcher accidentally caught him with a swinging arm.commentary team revealed Naughton had been substituted out of the contest with concussion and was replaced by Joel Freijah.“A swinging arm got him in the wrong spot.
As a result, Naughton will miss the Bulldogs’ clash against Carlton but would be expected to return against Geelong on July 20.The forward recently returned to action after sustaining a ligament injury in his right knee in a loss to the Sydney Swans on May 23. There were initial fears Naughton suffered a season-ending ACL injury but thankfully for the Bulldogs it was only minor ligament damage.
