Time to take eddies suggestion and move away from the smooth leather and move to a ball with dimples.In the 1970s and early 1980s, wide receivers and defensive backs began using Stickum, which was a thick, dark yellow, glue-like material that helped pull the football into their hands, like a magnet. Perhaps most famously, Raiders defensive back Lester Hayes was known to use so much of the substance on his body that Stickum dripped off him. Hayes intercepted 13 passes in 1980 and won the league’s Defensive Player of the Year award. “I could catch a football behind my back on one knee,” he later said. “It was tremendous stuff.” Adhesives like Stickum were banned the next year, in 1981. As a result, manufacturers began producing gloves that improved players’ grips on the ball. Technology has since improved to the point that gloves themselves – “sticky gloves” – have enabled receivers and other players to drop fewer passes and make more spectacular-looking, one-handed catches.
Why does there need to be an intermediary phase. The long-held view that smaller footballs directly reduced the number of broken fingers in women's footy seems logical and credible.
Dude, you need to give up, Smith is playing, she is one of our best defensive players, our leading tackler and is capable of playing into the middle and while her kicking is still a bit of liability, she showed a lot improvement last season. And Crocks loves her.Tripodi best team for mine likewise granville
Instead of smith and craven/shannon
However Granville missed last week
Tripodi played and was one of our better players imo
smith is a spudDude, you need to give up, Smith is playing, she is one of our best defensive players, our leading tackler and is capable of playing into the middle and while her kicking is still a bit of liability, she showed a lot improvement last season. And Crocks loves her.
Lol are you trolling based on an acl injuryRemember when you thought Campbell was better than Smith.
How did that go for ya?
Everyone in the league fumbles, I think it has more to do with the size of the ball than a players skill level, and she had only one more turnover than Eddey despite averaging more disposals per game. You are so rusted on to your initial opinion of a player you are incapable of noticing when they show improvement.smith is a spud
Fumble and turnover merchant
Lol are you trolling based on an acl injury
Campbell was better than smith and still would be if she didn’t injure the acl
One plays forward the other plays midI thought Campbell was okay in her first season for us, but she was perhaps the worst player to ever wear the Blue & White in her second, (20 turnovers from only 25 disposals) and if anyone thinks she is a better option then Smith they should never be allowed to comment on football ever again.

We don’t need a tagger every week, she can play the odd game when we doAmy Smith's best weapon is her ability to tag the gun mids.
The club have been very quiet about it other than crock mentioning that we are having one tomorrowDoes anyone know what time the intra club is on?
Not keen on dunking on a player who worked hard for North to make a point about how dull it is to constantly see another player being dunked on by another poster. Grace is at the Pies and good luck to her, and Smith will continue to be a regular in our side.Campbell was ******* s**t even before the ACL.
