As the AFL season reaches its pointy end, The West Australian takes a look around the country to see which WA products are having the biggest say at their club.

Aaron Naughton

The Bulldogs’ spearhead had managed only 19 goals through the first half of 2025 as the rise and rise of giant father-son product Sam Darcy took the league by storm.

But the Rockingham product stood firm and has sent a potent reminder of his depth of talent, matching his 19 goals from the first half in the past four weeks alone with three bags of five or more.

Naughton again filled his boots against injury-riddled Essendon on Friday night, kicking a career-high seven goals in his side’s monster 93-point victory to remain in the top eight.

Daniel Curtin

The former top-10 draft pick has established himself as a regular for the high-flying Crows this season, so much so that he got a run in the middle against Port Adelaide.

In a 98-point Showdown massacre, Curtin collected 22 disposals and four clearances, with the 20-year-old showing off his strong frame.

The most exciting thing? He has a brother in this year’s draft who is also tipped to be a talented AFL footballer.

Arthur Jones

Speedy midfielder/forward Jones is doing his best to put his hand up for selection at the Bulldogs as they fight for finals.

Playing in the VFL against Essendon, the boy from Mt Barker was a dangerous presence, kicking two goals from 14 disposals and four marks.

Koltyn Tholstrup

After kicking a career-best two goals against West Coast in Perth earlier this year, Tholstrup appeared keen to get back among the Demons’ senior ranks for the rematch while playing for Casey.

The wingman looked sharp around the contest, using his hands to feed the ball out from his seven clearances before getting back into the action with 20 touches and a goal.
