Player Watch #16 Josh Smillie

[SplintWhisky]

Concerned with his tank and his speed. Just cant see how he fits in at half back.

 

[Joker91]

Will win the rising star

 

[Ancient Tiger]

Great pick. We will have a brute of a midfield in a couple of years

 

[Crumpet_avenger]

Concerned with his tank and his speed. Just cant see how he fits in at half back.

Dermott said that about Dusty

Hope he says it this week on SEN

Guaranteed gun if so

Just dont see how he replaces Rioli or pushes Short off the half back.

Nobody said he had to
Let him be him
His skills are elite mate
Gunna go good

Lol, check his combine results.

 

[captain blood 17]

Was n absolute necessity. Fantastic selection

 

[Bojangles17]

Was n absolute necessity. Fantastic selection

Natural born mid that goes long every time , love it

 

[Ralll]

Don't mind it.
We have our inside mids sorted for the next 10 years, and with Hopperanto around for the next 4 we can ease Lalor and Smillie to 50 games and into the midfield full time without over taxing them.

 

[tiger_tough]

Round 1 starter.

 

[RichoLedio]

Very excited about this pick, remember reading an article mid year talking him up as the absolute stand out

 

[SplintWhisky]

Round 1 starter.

First bounce when he looks over at Cripps

 

[Bird Man]

will be better than tom greene ! great pick

 

[prodigy]

Has round 1 written all over him. Seems to be the type that won't rest on his laurels either.
Clearly has work to do on his tank but fortunately he has an AFL pre-season to jump into.

 

[THE_GUN]

Wow he got to pick 7?? Only catching up this is ****ing awesome!
I know a guy very high up at another club who reckons in his opinion when I asked him last week, he’s the best.

Well he was ranked #1 most of the year
Cal Twomet had him rated #2 behind ashcroft in August

 

[Burning bright]

Smillie my thoughts about this high end draft pick and what I see

the way he hits hard when the contest is required,

doesn't run around meaningless like a head less chook

the way he lingers at the edge to impose himself

not a sprinter but has time and power when play is in motion

just reminds me of a young Anthony Koutoufides

[Daka]

Concerned with his tank and his speed. Just cant see how he fits in at half back.

His endurance is really good ran sub, 6:30secs at the combine and his quicker than Langford but I think Harvey is more talented IQ wise.

You see I don't understand this given he was reasonably quick in terms of sprint testing (not lightning) and as above his endurance was up there with some of the better midfield prospects.

For comparison he is both quicker and has a bigger tank than Cripps did at the same age, while also being a better kick.

Exacory

I loved Langford and wanted him as a tiger but I reckon there’s a fair chance his life at afl is as a HF even HB ,,,a good one mind u with that marking ability

Ignore the guy. He's a troll or a moron
