Player Watch #16 Josh Smillie - Updated TBC

[Wrenny]

Looks like we should have picked Alix Tauru, the flying viking , before Smillie.

Another insightful and intelligent poster on here finally

photos aren't fair and its been a focus on running style, maybe rather than size (? is that confirmed) but here's a crack

Just me or does he look sadder each month? Compare first with last

Nah he's just progressively more hungover

He hasnt been keeping up with his botox

 

[kozi]

Didn’t he go to whitefriars? Grew up 10 min down the eastern from punt road

Should send this kid to my local Dr , he knows what's wrong before you even open your mouth , genius , I rate him highly
This has been farcical and a pretty poor reflection of all involved

Some of these posts are going to be great to revisit in 3-4 years time

Has he been tested for turf toe or glandular fever?

 

[Ancient Tiger]

Yes

 

[SleepingGiant]

Heard that his new GF also needs a conditioning block as the club feels she isn’t doing enough work and his hamstrings have too much load.

Phase 7 of 8 of his Conditioning Block will be ticked off by then

“We’re looking at Josh being available in 2026-2033”

 

[SMILLIE]

Not ideal reading

 

[copthat]

Pulling up sore? Does he have an injury or not? Lol

 

[Stylo]

**** me dead

It’s getting a bit ridiculous now. Hopefully more detail in the injury report

Edit - oh it’s out

“Unfortunately for Smillie, he didn’t quite get through training last week,” Serpell said.

“He is still pulling up a little bit sore, and as it turns out, he has succumbed to the virus that is going through the Club at the moment.

“So, he hasn’t been able to get through training fully for the last week or so.

“We aren’t interested in pushing him at this stage of the year, and we will continue to work with him over the next little while and try and increase his footy loads where possible and make sure we are doing the right thing by him for the long-term.”

Just as I thought, won't play seniors this year.

 

[Stylo]

Be surprised if he plays VFL at this rate

 

[rfctigerarmy]

He won't play VFL either

 

[Calcium Man]

Osteitis pubis

 

[Ctl]

surely he can play half a vf game or something if his conditioning is that bad, really starting to drag on now

 

[prodigy]

What's he pulling up sore from? I don't understand what is happening.
This is the most mysterious injury/non-injury I've seen at the club for a very long time.

 

[Ctl]

just keeping him fresh to win the 2026 rising star I suppose
