Lucky to get a game in the seniors after 4 seasons so I’m one who thought he would have been delisted , As there has been suggestions that they may delist other players who play regular senior games the club must see more in him than I do.
Isn't that where we are at camboon. Reality year two rebuild of what will likely take 7 seasons to compete at finals level.
They should be delisting players who play regular senior games but are only so so and most likely have reached their ceiling. Keep em or delist em either way we are not going anywhere with them.
Smith while very disappointing so far has some good reasons to keep him. His attributes for a hb or wing role are great you would expect them with top 10 picks. A bit like us taking Algar he had great attributes and we could not leave him there at pick 58.
Also Smiths first two seasons with us, you can call it making excuses but they were basically ruined with injury.
Reckon WP hit it on the head when he said its his decision making and id say belief that he belongs, that more than anything is holding him back.
His ceiling if it all comes together is quite high imo hense we are prepared in just our second year of rebuild to be a bit more patient with him than in other circumstances and with others who have had a good go at it.
