Joel Smith played in the backline... christ our coaches have no idea.   A scratch match and they dont even play him forward.

Joel Smith will definitely be traded at year end. He will ask to be traded imo. 
 

Baker and Rivers must play v Saints. Need them to match Hill and Jones for pace.

No one other club is going to trade for Smith when they can just pick up a delisted free agent.

Even if he asks for trade, no one is going to come banging down the door. Billy Stretch and JKH also asked to look at trade options last year and both barely got a nibble. And both made far more impact then Smith.

In regards to Baker, I am fan and in the boat that he needs to start getting games. Goodwin needs to stop this idea of Vandenberg being a winger because its not working. Hunter and their outside mids exposed him on the weekend. Hate to think what Hill will do..

He’s kicked 1 goal in his entire career.

This kid leads up well and would create real scoreboard pressure - to the backline he goes.  Modern coaching, i dont get it

That is only the majority view. Goodwin prefers to do his experimenting off a four day break against the top side.

Didn't he kick 4 or 5 in the pre-season game last year with the groin injury, when we inexplicably left him on and rubbed him out for the year?   

Weird that they just abandoned that experiment.

I think he got 4 against Brisbane in a practice match, but the way some carry on you’d think we have Allen Jakovich playing in the back pocket.

FD don't have an idea they shouldn't have been on  the list to start with let alone play forward.
