’s 2018 and 2019 seasons, fuelling the hunger of the chief Sydney Swans ruckman for a comeback 2020 campaign. The QBE Sydney Swans Academy product is an excellent tap ruckman who’s shown promising glimpses since being drafted in November 2012, particularly as Sydney powered towards the 2016 Grand Final. The New South Welshman had always worn the number 35 before switching to the number 10 for season 2020 in search of a fresh start.

Just the first few?

Please get fit.

 

[SwansProudly]

Must be getting closer to playing NEAFL

Naismith 217 cm ?

 

[Mick Oxlong]

Naismith 217 cm ?

I have no idea what you're talking about but I have it on good authority that this is correct...12cm shorter than Patrick Cripps!

So good seeing him move like that. Perhaps working on technique changes too as they did with AJ.

I hope he can get it all together.

 

[The King!]

Hope he has learnt to get a touch , take marks etc

 

[Voice of the G]

Yes according to reports he has grown a cm each week since the start of the season he is now 217cm

Sam Naismith has switched from number 35 to the number 10 vacated by Zak Jones.

Predicting how many more games he will play?

 

[scaryness]

Always a strange feeling when a player changes numbers after years of being in another one.

Hopefully that's an indication that he's expected to be a first 22 selection barring injury. It'll be nice having a genuine ruck in the team. No excuses for our midfield if we can't improve our stoppages then.

You are always so very glowing of your praise in our returning injured players Kingy. A breath of fresh air!

I know how many people hate the idea that players can be important for "structure" (e.g. Naisy, Reid, Melican etc)... and just want all our plays to get 35 touches at 85% and kick 5 goals each... But it's great to see the big guy back up & rolling and I believe he will be an important IN structurally when he manages to get selected. Looking forward to seeing him back dominating hitouts in 2020.

 

[mtooler]

We're better if hes in our 22.

Maybe not , a source tells me he's done for 20 with an achilles , the greatest player out of gunnadah might be done

 

[The King!]

Not sure how he has a longish term contract

Waste of money

Fair dinkum. His body just cant deal with the physical challenges of AFL.

Originally Richmond wanted him ahead of Nankervis so he obviously has a fair bit of talent.

He was also pretty crucial to our side when he was fit and running. Sometimes you have to take risks with these things.

Did Richmond want him? Got a link?
I don’t think he was ever crucial to anything

Time will tell I guess , doesn’t do enough outside of tapping the ball imo

Hopefully he can start impacting games around the ground , if he gets on the park

Bloody disappointed in this news. I was hoping that he was over his injury issues but this could be the last straw for him. He's got the talent, but his body can't handle professional footy.

Now we're left without a genuine ruck. I wonder what this does for our recruitment and trading strategy next year?
