Player Watch #49 Kaleb Smith

[Grrr]

Needs more aggression, at the ball, running etc. Not a hard thing to amp up as he has some good attributes to go with it.

 

[tropicaltiger]

I like the kid.
Reckon he is tracking nicely.

goin ok.... his 20/30m chips and 15m handballs are too loopy, start drilling it with a bit of flatter trajectory please young fella.

 

[Lord of the Wings]

Another soft dud.

 

[prodigy]

Another soft dud.

Tell us how you really feel

 

[Ashman OG]

Some pretty harsh assessments of a kid who has played under ten games, half of them as the sub.

Thats normal around here

 

[Karp3_dm]

Another soft dud.

I thought that a little too until last couple games he’s put his head in the hole and taken some very contested marks

there is hope, underdog but hope

Yeah but he doesn't actually watch us play. He just watches Kayo mini matches.

When he is drunk and without his glasses

Has got the breathing room now of not having judson clarke breathing down his neck for his spot in the seniors.
Would love to see him get the month ( no sub) to feel secure and just play.
Really don't know how it will play out long term, but give him the chance to own it.

 

[Lord of the Wings]

The 3rd worst player in the AFL after Sonsie and Ross

 

[SumTingWong]

When you think it's a good idea to kick it to the center to Lobb with Sonsie on him from a kick out football is not your thing.

 

[DustinsGuns]

He just doesn't show enough signs. Seems way inferior to Trainor, Banks and even Short in the same role

 

[Danog]

Why aren't we playing Tresize over him?

 

[Baltastan]

I’m happy we’ve persisted with him thus far and I do think we need a dedicated small defender but my god his disposal and decision making is awful.

 

[beema limapep]

must be dropped

He can’t defend for shit either. Trezise is way better but even he isn’t good enough.

 

[THE_GUN]

Very Harsh on the kid

far from the worst

 

[el_simo]

Comically bad player. Waste of time

 

[Bird Man]

who would you rather Davidson or Smith?

 

[THE_GUN]

who would you rather Davidson or Smith?

In the Richmond team Davidson would be just as bad if not worse
pointless comparison

 

[Delorean]

He doesn't want the ball.

 

[lizard man]

He still has time to develop

 

[DustinsGuns]

An awful footballer. Turns it over, doesn't go hard in the contest. He's is playing the easiest position on the field and is invisible

 

[DustinsGuns]

He still has time to develop

He is too slow and nowhere near skilled enough to play rebounding half back flank.

Short at his best had an immaculate kick. Houli had pace to burn and saw the game better than most.

This guy has no assets.
