Jumping Jack Clennett 1,825 Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 Nick Smith really impresses me at the Swans. It seems to me he's not really given the kudos , responsibility or promotion he deserves at Sydney. He has a defensive role seemingly in the full back line, where he always seems to do a good job. I think he shows the strength, skill and discipline to be a midfielder. Any chance Roos could tempt him across?

Gee I thought you were referring to 4to6 who played for us and last heard of playing for Balwyn in the EFL!
Jumping Jack Clennett 1,825 Posted September 22, 2013 Author Posted September 22, 2013 He's the opposite of 426. He plays every game.(and plays them well)
Old Man Rivers 326 Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 426 retired from the Balwyn Tigers a premiership captain after the 2012 season.
Jumping Jack Clennett 1,825 Posted September 23, 2013 Author Posted September 23, 2013 Are there any readers out there who agree with my suggestion that Nick Smith(no.40 for Sydney),could become an inside midfielder?He's not overtly fast, but he's strong ,creative,and has excellent disposal skills.
dazzledavey36 56,334 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Id be more looking at Craig Bird. Tough inside mid who got subbed out on the weekend which i thought was bit strange.
TGR 1,367 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Humble kid. Anyone that knew him at SKevs (Year 7) and Scotch would say he hasn't changed a bit. I'm sure he'd be thinking about returning home now. I reckon he is the Lleyton Hewitt of the AFL. He aint blessed with talent, but how he can blanket your quick small forwards amazes me year after year. His kicking hits targets, and he would lead the Swans for shepherds/blocks I reckon. Solid character and has 4 years left in him. Roos would know if he had what it took to play on-ball. I don't think Swans have ever contemplated using him there. Whether that is because he is so good as a defensive small, or whether he aint got the tank etc....not many know, including most of us.

He certainly thinks he can: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-09-14/smith-staying-put-
Jumping Jack Clennett 1,825 Posted September 29, 2013 Author Posted September 29, 2013 I guess Roos would be well aware of Smith's potential(or lack thereof). Does anyone know his contract status? Ï suppose Sydney would also be well aware of his potential as an inside midfielder, but they never seem to take him out of defence. ps "Demoneyes..".....sorry to wake you, please don't waste your valuable time reading this.
Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Wasn't this the kid who smashed Rioli in the GF last year?
Jumping Jack Clennett 1,825 Posted October 6, 2013 Author Posted October 6, 2013 I hope this is right. No doubt Paul Roos has a high opinion of this guy. See my thread on him in this section, which raised little interest.
Demon3 2,541 Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Serious question - in what capacity do we need him. only 5 games out of 98 with 20 or more touches (21 his best)?
Demonland 74,431 Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-10-07/trade-winds-monday The word is that the Swans are considering doing a deal with a Melbourne-based club that has a high draft pick, possibly St Kilda or Melbourne - clubs with links to the Swans.A deal involving a package of players, including at least two premiership heroes, is the suggestion. It is no secret that Nick Smith has strong roots in Melbourne and the pull home always lingers. Smith has been touted as a future captain of the Swans and he is certainly a backline general.However, the Swans may be willing to cut their losses if the reward is high.
drdrake 3,203 Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 The AFL website says a package of two players for a pick in the top 5, have to say don't know much about Nick Smith to get that exited.
Young Dee 1,303 Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Is that all you are going on? a trade wind? You got me excited.
Dr. Gonzo 24,468 Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Small defender it says on Swans website, not our most pressing need at all - if he was packaged with Parker or someone I'd go for it but I don't really see his value at this stage. We need midfielders goddamit!!!
pantaloons 2,019 Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 So will we become the beneficiaries of Buddy's move? Dan Hannebery, come on down!
ThreeOneSix 954 Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Smith ain't much chop, I hope this is a p*ss take.
drdrake 3,203 Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Small defender it says on Swans website, not our most pressing need at all - if he was packaged with Parker or someone I'd go for it but I don't really see his value at this stage. We need midfielders goddamit!!! Luke Parker and Nick Smith, that is something that would add to our list and I would be happy with giving up pick 2 for these two plus Sydney's second round pick. We don't have a strong defensive small defender adding Nick Smith to our backline would be a good thing
Machsy 2,858 Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 I don't think getting Smith will have anything to do with pick 2, unless another player is involved like a Luke Parker or a Tom Mitchell. Smith would be handy, but there's no way he's worth pick 2.
