Smillie hasn't done anything at underage level to suggest that he will be any good as a forward in the AFL. Too slow to be a lead-up forward, not strong enough overhead to be a contested marking threat. If you want a 195cm forward weapon with a cannon for a leg, then just take Armstrong. Same goes for those suggesting he can play off half-back, we would be much better served just taking Trainor, who is quicker, better overhead, and a better kick.Yeah but i see him as a bigger weapon forward. 195cm with a good set shot at long range which we dont have many of.
But for sure could see him at least starting off there and who knows. We probably need to look at much the same for Duursma until we up our i50 count as well as using the corridor more.
