He’ll get a go next week but he’d better bring consistent intensity across the whole game. Up to him, getting a game by default really.
Yep. Can't go any worse than the big Crawdad Naismith, but if the Samsung fires up he may even provide some forward structure and ability to go along with his assistant ruck work. Hardly gunna expect him to tear a game apart but he could be helpful.He’ll get a go next week but he’d better bring consistent intensity across the whole game.

I would play him as 1st ruck but that won't happen but to me he comes in anyway. Play Balta, Ryan and Lefau forward and Mykelti can play as a legitimate 3rd forward. Ryan as relief ruck.Yep.

How far away is the VFL to AFL??Time for a block of games to show his development, should come in for Naismith, but I expect the Kosi, Naismith merry go round will continue.
all our forwards have been resting for monthsRyan at least offers a resting forward option.
You are right I reckon. Such a big gap between VFL and AFL. U only have to look at Sonsie and McAuliffe VFL performances. Pies got lucky with Milocheck as he was a VFL defender and drafted to play there.How far away is the VFL to AFL??
Naismith was described as the premier ruckman last yr. Even Collingwood looked at him. He is worse then Griffens and Elton and he makes Vickery look like Kernahan.
Enough is enough.
Why do other clubs find Milocheck, Sullivan etc and Clarke comes back with Naismith??
Yet Samsung's a way better forward than Crawdad and we're desperate for some forward size n craft to support Liftmykiltup. Samsung also has the proven capacity to be a more than adequate back up part time ruck to give Nank a spell.But Yze basically said Naismith played cos he is a better ruck than Ryan.
Yep! What does bother me is we run a good ruck into the ground by overworking his body without giving him adequate support. We did this with Maric and we are doing this with Nanks so we need to use our burgeoning ruck stocks wiselyLooking ahead, if the club sees Ryan as a long term ruck, surely it’s time to play him now so by season’s end we have a good idea of where he’s at. Pump the games into him. Otherwise I can see a situation where Nank is nearing the end, Naismith is a backup only and we still aren’t sure about Ryan. That will be a real problem.
Highest bliss point. You know it, Redders. The question is - poooooffs or balls? I Switched from balls to poooooooooooofs last year and have not looked back. Higher bliss point IMO.Cheetos.
Would be a chance to preview the structure for when Lynch returns. And if Lynch does return, maybe the only chance to play Samson as 2nd ruck all season. (Maybe we rest Nank to give him a go at #1. Ryan/Balta combo is the future.)Will he play this week with Balta returning?
If Nank has a rest I’m happy for him to play.Would be a chance to preview the structure for when Lynch returns. And if Lynch does return, maybe the only chance to play Samson as 2nd ruck all season. (Maybe we rest Nank to give him a go at #1. Ryan/Balta combo is the future.)
They must've forgot to spa and rough him up before the game. Remember that preseason game against Dees when that happened. He started like a bull.Apart from rucking there was pretty much bugger all in the first half of the game, just stood around spectating a lot, no second efforts. Second half was much better, worked far harder n got himself properly involved. Keep pushing the ruck work into him with an occasional sneak down forward for a quiet sausage or two.
Not to sure that you usually get roughed up at a spa, that's normally where you go to get all polished up n smoothed out.They must've forgot to spa and rough him up before the game. Remember that preseason game against Dees when that happened. He started like a bull.
