I feel that Smith will have more chances to play as an inside mid in year 1 compared to Walsh due to size at this stage as well as likelihood of starting as an inside mid. The blues will give preference to Cripps, Dow and Stocker to play inside, while I believe Walsh will play wing predominantly in year 1. As such, Smith will probably have more of a spotlight on him as inside mids tend to get noticed more than outside mids unless the outside mids are very exceptional. Over time I see Walsh moving more into the inside when he puts on more size.How will Bailey Smith have more immediate impact? I see Jye spending bit of time in the 2’s but Sam to play straight away
That’s the real mystery. Who will be better player in the long run out of the 3. Interesting you saying will be reversed at later stage. Could all happen as you say.
In addition, Smith can be moved to a half back flank depending on match circumstances, which gives him a chance to rack up bigger disposal numbers.
