Player Watch #16 Josh Smillie - Updated TBC

[Rubber Hips]

I said he could be a winger and it sent the board into meltdown

The board melts over anything and everything…that’s what I like about it…lots of drama…a few Karens…optimists…pessimists ….trolls…all good banter

…Smills on a wing would be something special….just needs to get 100% fit which he will in time

Rumours at punt road, kam macintosh is back in town to do some odd jobs at Josh Smillie's parents joint..... first assignment is to make all doorways 6 inches higher and remove all the ceiling fans

Wouldn't it be easier just to lower all the house floor's by 6 inches?!

More than comfortable with how the club is managing Smills…just thinking for his mental state, it would be good if he could get on the park at some stage in 26…

Is that a serious statement? Of course he will get in the park in ‘26. He’s had growing pains, now 197cm apparently He’s being managed for the long term benefit of both the club and himself individually. Will be a very very good player imo but patience required as he continues to grow into his body.

Murphy Reid is a player reliant on his footy IQ. Will he be star of the comp? Very well possibly. However, these types are the ones who blossom younger and don’t improve instrumentally. Not to say he won’t improve, but his athleticism isn’t elite, and is limited by that. Hence, he is reliant on his skill and IQ, which are already pretty elite. Smillie on the other hand could be a top midfielder based on potential. The key component for this imo is being able to absorb tacklers and distribute right at the coal face. Just like Cripps and Tom green

do. They leverage their height and power in clearence work. Josh needs to be exactly that, which I have not seen a whole lot in his footy at both junior and senior level. He cannot be a distributor or a sweeper at that height, it simply is not possible with all the demands of agility and speed. If he is able to learn to leverage that height and size he will be elite.

When Smillie gets firing and we are dominating again behind that 2024 draft class it will be oh so sweet.

Good luck with your recovery big fella, lets go.
