JW Smith

[scottywiper]

I hope Andrew Demetriou was watching, having seen fit to put Shannon Hurn and Tom Williams above him in the rising star, and not even put him top five.
Close to best-afield in his second final...having fine tuned his own game after struggling a week earlier.
Barring injury, Smith could be our best player in 3-4 years, he is all class.

Hurn I could at least half understand, but Tom Williams FFS?

hahaha was it lincoln who said it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak up and confirm it... perhaps demitriou should keep his opinions on football to himself. what a moron.

How can AD even be on the voting panel?

Oh that's right he put himself there

At least he played at the highest level, what the hell was Adrian Anderson doing on the panel?

Great game by JWS. The first time this year he has shown some urgency without the ball, and it made a huge difference. It looked like last weeks game jolted him into action and showed him that he can't just float around and expect it to happen.

Same goes for wells too, there was a lot more willingness to get to contests this week.

Someone's got to make the coffees all round, and sugar and stir Andy's (and make sure it's not too hot).

No way!

They must have missed that minor detail

The AFL match report didn't have him in either.

Hurn is a poor man's Smith.

Smith id fantastic in traffic and under pressure for his age, but i think struggles when marking in defence man on man under the floating ball. Laidly should throw him on a wing, rather than try to match him up in defence

I've seen Jesse and his father down watching the Flemington Jnrs, under 14s I think it was.

Does Jesse have a younger brother?
Does he play for Flemington or one of the other WRFL clubs?

Robert Walls (who I dont always agree with ) had him BOG too.Couldnt believe the Age missed him out..
cant blame age too much tho..he only touched it 27 times, so would have been hard to notice

 

[Manbearpig]

JWS is the runaway winner of the player of the week from talkback callers on Mark Doran's show this arvo.

Good to see him getting some recognition.

 

[WesternRoo]

An absolute gun, cant beleive he has played less than 30 games.

Even when the camera panned across during the national anthem, he looked as cool as a cucumber.

Let's not get carried away, Hurn is a good young player and will one day be a super player but Smith has him covered pretty easily right now.

Demetriou is a fat plonker who has obviously been enjoying the good life since his big promotion. Has lost all grip on reality as a consequence.

If you want a laugh, check the polls Board ; some dees troll reckons nathan Jones is a better prospect than JWS.

 

[Bozz.Clunker.H]

absolute future star, imagine if he had last year 2 develop as well??
