Lewis also did some Smith played most of the game forward so not sure there is a role for him. Not sure there is anyone really demanding a promotion though. Bugg and Tyson starred today, JKH was good too in horrible conditions Quote

Pennant St Dee 13,452 Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 Those calling for Smith need to take nite of him being moved forward due to them flooding their defensive 50. I don't mind him in the backline next week against the Dogs. Bernie only comes in for a run with role especially given the Dogs speed Quote

And the elbow at that only became a thing because Walters took a dive. However, he just looked off tonight. Fresh air kick attempts instead of trying to pick the ball up, a couple of missed passes, and there was at least one other bad free kick against. He's just OK right now, nothing more. 5 minutes ago, Biffen said: Since Queens Birthday our glaring weaknesses have been leg speed and defensive pressure. Frost ,Garlett and Smith are pretty quick. I thought Smith had a fair first half. VDB got 16 tackles in the reserves. Spargo goes alright but he has limitations. Lewis had another mistake riddled game. If Vince and Lewis aren't getting pushed out we are not moving forward. There is no way VDB is getting a game after one VFL game in 2.5 years. 4 minutes ago, Nasher said: I assumed Smith in the forward line was in response to the way Fremantle occupied our forward line, rather than our idea per se. It wasn’t going to be OMac, Frost, Hibberd or Jetta, so he’s th logical next choice. I can’t think of any other reason for it because he definitely did not look a natural forward. That's probably right. I still query whether we need Smith in the backline. But we absolutely should not be putting him anywhere near the forward line again given what he showed up there tonight.

Smith was doing SFA down back, needed to try something to get him into the game other than for tackling. 1 Quote
YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,823 Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 If Smith cant play down back he cant be in the team, he's not a forwards bum hole. ANB has he got pics of Goody's Missus or what? If he has i guess he's going to stay in the team but simon if he doesn't he has to go. Out: ANB, Smith(depending on match up) In: Anyone with as heart beat 1 Quote

Not sure who gets his spot, but I think a running player over a tall. Don't think it was his fault, the dockers clearly flooded so no point in playing 3 or 4 of our guys lose behind the ball. Thought he was pretty good early. No other team will play that way, so can't judge him on that performance, expect to hope the coaches show him what to do if he ends up there again 1 Quote

Wouldn’t trust he or ANB with a shot on goal if they were the last blokes on earth. Only player worse at that right now is big Maxy (but he more than makes up for it). 1 1 Quote
Watts Jurrah Dunn? 735 Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 In: JKH Out: Smith Need run on the 'G, especially with heavy legs after Darwin. Pedersen, Tim Smith and Tyson are not the answer. Quote
