Player Watch #16 Josh Smillie

[Groupie_]

how come he didnt play a game last year ?

 

[TJTIGER]

I get your point but they can play VFL and get picked up later on.
I think the comp has matured massivley with that mindset over the past 10 years.
Look at our most recent sucsess.
There was some hits and misses but:
Lambert, Broad, Stack

From memory Lambert & Broad were both mature aged recruits. Or am I missing your point?

What are we the Richmond day care centre? Just because some kids struggle with the move from Junior football to an AFL environment, that’s no reason to hold back kids who can deal with it. If you draft a kid who struggles with the rigours of AFL football drop him back if necessary, give him time and hope he comes good. After given every chance, he’s either up to it or not. If not bye bye.

No the Richmond Day Care is next door to the heroin injecting room, right?

Correction: It is Richmond Primary School

I'm still concerned he is too tall for the midfield, but I hope not!

He genuinely might have to play wing at this rate

Taller than him though

 

[Infamy]

Taller than him though

I know you may tell your wife/girlfriend 2cm is significant, but I really don't think it means the difference between being able to play midfield or not

Nice try socialist.

Nothing wrong with that.
Once you get to a certain age, you’re either a socialist or a c*nt

 

[Tiger1974]

are you guessing or do you know something?
To me he seemed the most professional out of all the draftees when we drafted them.
He was touted as the #1 pick for a few years. That dosnt just happen

Yep people making up stuff based on thin air. So he had some off field issues and mental health issues according to two posters.

Might have a lazy $100 on a multi.. Joshy winning the rising star/Tigers to make the 8/Lynch for coleman.

Optimist, I like it!

Yeah, good title.

Pity the song isn't as good as the title.

Just give me the $100

Makes sense for Smillie to start off in defence and ease him in to midfield rotations ala Lalor & Hotton in the forward line. Has excellent kicking/disposal skills along with great decision making, was in the U16 AA side playing defence.

I can’t stand it when people make things up or quote from a source that can’t be substantiated and is very likely just plain wrong. If you don’t really know what’s going on, STFU as you just may be creating a problem yourself with the post. Especially looking at Mods who should know better getting involved. Some footballers or their families sometimes read these posts.

he just needs to get his head out of the clouds, literally, hes had a growth spurt.

How tall is he now?

 

[Drunken Wookie]

How tall is he now?

200cm

 

[TJTIGER]

200cm

Josh's height is starting to look like a bidding war?!
