Past Clem Smith

[OldCarltonKnows]

Really expected more of Clem this year.

Hasn't really fronted with the nous that was on show through the pre-season just yet. Soon?

No, won't happen. Hope he proves me wrong but...he's another guy with talent but not the work ethic.

2014 draft going well ( not).Boeky only one that looks to have a real chance.

Smith is the sort of case that makes the armchair recruiter scratch the head. He has done some really marvellous chases and smothers this year, a couple of which have directly lead to goals. However, he is still struggling to get more than a dozen possessions in a game and rarely has hit the scoreboard himself. Clem must have a highlights reel as good as anybody's. However, the meat and potato stuff just isn't there.
Is it work ethic? Or is it that he doesn't read the game well?
I don't know, but I can't see him being the answer at this point in time.

Actually that whole draft cohort is looking pretty ordinary, not just our picks. Going down to pick 19 didn't appear to hurt us very much at all. Thankfully last year's, which was supposed to be worse, has looked better so far (especially our picks).

I believe I saw he is OOC at end of year. Is he in danger of being delisted? I was high on him his draft year and am surprised at his lack of development (not that I'm a footy genius).

Good luck the rest of the season.

Was always going to be a struggle for him after being nominated the "steal of the draft".

He went late for a reason and it doesn't look good.

Maybe they should give him a go in the midfield or the back line. Getting a bit of the pill might do him a bit of good.

SF's tend to look pretty ordinary if their team isn't doing so flash as well. I've never really seen Clem to be that opportunistic goal sneak.
