Tim Smith doesn't appear on the MFC website player listing.

Does that mean he doesn't really exist, or maybe in a parallel universe he does exist.?????

 

He is in the 'Rookie' Section. https://www.melbournefc.com.au/Team/players/rookie

Not comforting that we are bringing in our big guns in the hour of need 

Disappointed that they didn't give Keilty a run - he deserves it.  Tim Smith is a very average VFL player who plays a couple of very good VFL games a year.  His skills are barely up to VFL standard.  

They are our depth and we need them at this point in time who knows, Tim is due for a blinder .?✌️?!!!!!!!!!!!

Tim Smith has a red hot go, which is more than I can say I have seen in most of the team this year. 

 

His forward half pressure will be import t to our structure and one of our main issues re ground ball gets and he can lead up and take a contested mark

Tim is big and strong enough he can take contested marks and knows where the goals are. Although he has played a handful of games l think his majority of games are against the Tigers and played ok. I think Tim will be important to give Gawny a rest when needed.

A good hard footballer who gets his chance and  will give his all. You cannot ask for more.

Skill?

28 yo Bull from FernTree Gully - don't mess with him.  He'll be told to throw his weight around.

I wonder if Weed will be 2nd ruck and Smiddy sticks to the fiddy?

I think we should ask our skillful players to provide the skill and our grunt players to provide the grunt and our running players to provide the run.. then we might look like we are playing as a team.

Disappointed they didn’t pick [rookie listed VFL player], who is obviously vastly better than [other rookie listed VFL player]. Fair dinkum.

Tim Smith flies for the ball expecting to mark it in one grab. The Weid flies but does not look to be taking the ball lately, just touching it. Tim is a crap kick when in the ones or twos it must be said, whereas the Weid has a fantastic fluent motion and doesnt miss many.

A  goer with mental toughness is better than skill and Tim Smith has mental toughness. He will have a  HONEST RED HOT GO unlike some others.  Football is more than  SKILL. Don't you agree?

Yes.  But you did say "A good hard footballer who gets his chance and  will give his all. You cannot ask for more." I'd like skill as well.

Tim Smith played two really nice games for us last season, before getting injured.

If I recall it was in our two biggest wins of the year too. He was getting plenty of touches, laying heaps of big tackles and doing the ruckwork in forward 50.

 No idea what he will do tonight but I like that hes back in.

Gee Nasher, you don't think one rookie listed player can be much better than another. For example on Pies Rookie list Brody Mihocek and Max Lynch or Giants Mumford or James Buckley or Saints Callum Wilkie or James Alabakis or Roos Zurhaar or Tom McKenzie. You don't think one might be taller and better to help out in the ruck, as well as either attack or defence. You don't think one might have better form than another. You don't think one might have earned a chance while another hasn't. You don't think people might be disappointed that the bloke they thought was coming isn't.

Fair dinkum.

I could definitely handle another game for us like that Carlton one.  Might get our percentage back to somewhere over 50%.

Virtually Lol.

Didn't get that at first.

Great work by The Bull - another three quarters virtually like that would be bloody awsome.

Anb's front and center was perfect then didnt hand it off but still, signs.

Why isnt anyone standing up for stretch?poor.
