Sam Naismith
An ACL rupture and a long list of complications wiped out Sam Naismith’s 2018 and 2019 seasons, fuelling the hunger of the chief Sydney Swans ruckman for a comeback 2020 campaign. The QBE Sydney Swans Academy product is an excellent tap ruckman who’s shown promising glimpses since being drafted in November 2012, particularly as Sydney powered towards the 2016 Grand Final. The New South Welshman had always worn the number 35 before switching to the number 10 for season 2020 in search of a fresh start.

Sam Naismith
DOB: 16 July 1992
DEBUT: 2014
DRAFT: #Undefined, 2015 Rookie Elevation
RECRUITED FROM: North Shore (NSW)

AA ruck for 2018. D.Towers

Put your mortgage on it.
 
Even heeney can play out of full forward... we have plenty of options...horse just needs to be creative. As an opposition coach what would you do if we emptied the forward line and had heeney and rohan leading from the square and buddy up high

Great idea and would work brilliantly, just as well Hayward got some midfield minutes then on the weekend if he's not playing in the forward 50.

There isnt too many defenders with the pace to keep up with rohan on a lead and with all his faults, marking and set shots are not one of them. Heeney is heeney, we know what he is capable of.

We have an extremely talented team, we just need to mix it up more than we do. Find mew rotations, isolate certain players etc. Especially when we have buddy who commands so much defensive planning, there is no reason we cant have someone bob up with 3 goals every week, we just need to exploit individual matchups

Im in total agreement with you about Rohan and Heeney.

I was just referencing our debate on Saturday regarding Hayward playing in the midfield.

Haha yea i see that...i still dont see any future for him in the midfield but thats just my uneducated opinion and always happy to be proven wrong and you can easily swap his name out with heeney or rohan..point being our team is capable of so much more, horse just needs something other than "reid to defence"
 
I like Naismith. Probably won't ever be much more than he is but I think he's a lot better for our midfield in terms of competing in hit-outs and making them more pro-active. I still recall that stretch when he was rucking in 2016 when it felt like our midfield couldn't lose a clearance even if they tried. Obviously he'd want to be a lot more impactful around the ground but I haven't given up that little glimmer of hope that he can help us go back to that form.
