I have noticed a few negative threads about Dylan Smith over the past couple of months.
l however believe he will become a great Roos leader. He might not be the quickest player over 30 or 40 metres, nor have the longest kick, but this kid has got some ticker. He definately knows how to get the hard ball, is football smart, can take a strong mark for his size, and is not as bad a kick as some say. Dylan was superb during a training drill on Friday. Smothered, tackled hard, and won the ball from the opposition a few times. ln a pack situation he has surprisingly good burst of speed.
His problem to me seems to be that he puts so much preasure on himself, his always aiming for profection. l always notice him slapping his side and talking to himself. He is always going at a 120%. l believe this often can have a reverse effect on your skills.
He needs to get a little more balance in his approach to training. Give his mind a rest occassionally.
Dylan and harro would be great interchanging together this year.
They are both very simular players(in and under) and would make an awesome combination. l don't believe Harro has the endurance to play out a game quiet yet.
