Should Chris Smith be elevated?

[FootyEater]

reckon you're fairly safe there...

yeah i think so too. judging from what I have seen, i dont even think mourish, wants mourish to be elevated

heyh did anyone see anything of luke pratt this year? what is he like? what position does he play? does he look like a talent?

chrsco rates Pratt, which is a good thing. I trust chrsco's opinion, particularly of young swans players. Pretty sure he badly injured his shoulder about halfway through the season after he'd played just a few games in the seniors, then missed the rest of the season. But chrsco reckons he's a talented small defender, so hopefully they'll hang onto him for an other year to get over his injury and have a go at proving himself worthy of a senior spot.

Been smashed by Cossum in the 2nd half.

Hardly smashed any worse than the rest of the team , Chops.

Two goals - one a gem from out of the boundary and the other from a turnover .

He was still on Cossum's hammer at the death.

 

[Chops_a_must]

Pfft.

Nah, in that 3rd quarter where they won it, Cossom got loose and had many vital touches and clearances.

I'd say another go on the rookie list is about the right place. Can't see us making any rookie elevations, we're better off taking as many as possible from a strong draft.

The fact he is tagging at WAFL level isnt a great sign. You'd generally want a kid to be dominating the WAFL and then move on to AFL ranks where he would try out tagging if he wasnt finding enough of the pill in his own right. I dont recall any player tagging at WAFL level and then doing the same thing at AFL ranks. Especially in the day where a tagger needs to be finding the ball as well as stopping his man. I havent seen much of Smith but is he even doing that at WAFL level?

We had James Thompson who had a very good WAFL season playing on the oppositions best player each week. He had some awesome games on some very good player but it just doesnt translate to AFL level. Thats why we delisted him.

Looked a bit of a hack to me today.

Incredible that some on here want him on the main list ahead of someone like Farren Ray. Do you think Farren would be trying to tag someone at WAFL level?

But we'd actually have to give something away to get Ray, probably Campbell. Smith will cost us nothing.

Smith would still be too overpriced.

Just for interests sack. Ray was best on for Williamstown yesterday.

If Chris Smith wasn't already on our list would we even be suggesting it? I don't think so.Can't see the point in persevering myself.

 

[stripes]

He did ok on cossom and hildebrandt yesterday he swapped between the 2 and seemed to be effective in shutting them out when he was on them.

I have been wondering what we drafted this kid as and it seems it was a medium forward yet i have never seen him play forward at swans.

On the AFL website it says he kicked 13 goals in 3 games for QLD in the u/18's as a leading medium forward??

Was thinking about Swans and Conditioner, happens

Shampoo is better. I go on first and clean the hair. Conditioner is better. I leave the hair silky and smooth. Oh real fool, oh really..... Stop looking at me swan!
