I'd say it suggests that neither Hawkins or Stanley are in doubt:
- if Hawkins missed last week, the club may have deemed Stanley the best prospect at FF, and Smith is seen as next cab off the rank for the #1 ruck spot
- if Stanley missed, then as per above with Smith next cab off the rank to play the #1 ruck spot.
If the tall in doubt this week is Sav, it appears the club is looking at Fort or Abbott to slot into that role - second tall forward & ruck relief, and that's not really a role suited to Smith.
So not sure how Smith exactly has been screwed if the potential available role isn't one he's really suited too
