Player Watch #24 - Sam Naismith - Retirement

[Madtiger2006]

The way he was jumping in the vfl, he looks to be over his injuries and has a bit to offer still

Awesome little video on the clubs website of Naismith showing Steely Green how to do Pottery and just talking about life. He seems such an interesting bloke. Gee I hope Naismith gets a few games next year. Will be a great story and reckon he could inspire the young blokes.

What does everyone think is likely for his game time in 2024?

Soldo rarely used to get much over 60% TOG when we played the two rucks, so I'd say something a little below that (assuming Nank fully fit) would be a good rough guide.

Hopefully very little. If he's playing it means either Nank is injured or Samson isn't performing.

Thank you for your thoughts.

Just need THE_GUN to work out his F/S status!

Just watched the video with Steely Green. Super impressive guy. Will be fantastic for the culture at the club. Interesting how the pottery fits with mindfulness stuff the club has been doing.

 

[Madtiger2006]

He hasn’t played much in 5 years. Looks to be moving well and should be perfect for 2 years until Hayes Brown or Colina can take his spot

 

[Coach_Required]

Hope he can stay injury free, I like him and could be a good fit if Nank gets injured and we need a bigger body in the ruck while Ryan keeps developing physically.

Has anyone seen him training with the forwards just in case lynch isn’t ready at the start of the season?

Not a chance he plays as a forward. Balta and Kosi and/or Ryan will be the key forwards.

I really cant believe we are going down the "Balta as a forward" route again. Bit of a red flag for me, but perhaps Yze has a structure that will work better for him. Will let it play out before unloading

Im sure you will be here saying how you posted that Yze is a fool for playing him foward
But of course you will see how it goes first before posting that Yze structure made Balta a good foward (As you had told us )

Guessing it's due to potential for Lynch to not be available for the first half dozen. Ooze wouldve seen the impact that had on us last year and has made the move to hopefully set us on a course that doesn't start 6-0. Balta and Kosi is decidedly better on paper than Jack and... Pickett? LY. Wouldnt be surprised if Balta goes back again once the forward line settles down.

Or, i am saying i think the idea was awful under Damian Hardwick, but i am content in allowing the new coach an attempt to make it work first before restoring back to my original opinion. Balta was a fair disaster as a forward under Dimma- Killed the forward line and r*ped the backline.

To be quite honest, i am not sure i even have a single take of yours that I remember, so i guess i should be flattered your so familiar with my writings. After being away from this hole for a few months, i honestly have forgotten most of you

Agree with that. A few new pieces, including a new coach and assistants + Lynch missing certainly limits your options a bit

Why come back !!!

But the other point about being flattered - DONT
Your writing as well as opinion belongs in the sewer

Now maybe consider another few months away
