Asking a lot from Kaleb but he did OK and didn't throw in the towel and worked all game. A work in progress and as our season is now shot, we have to keep playing him to get some experience in him

Welcome to Richmond - Kaleb Smith
- Thread starter Smoking Aces
- Start date
Grew into the game and we saw the confidence he has been showing in the VFL.
Liked his frist full game he grow as the game went on..needs to play the rest of the year either HB or even on a wing.
Thought he did very well. Showed the folly of Yze leaving him on the bench for 95% of his debut. Showed a bit of toe and used the ball pretty well.
There’s absolutely no point in not playing him for the rest of the year. Give him some real exposure to the top level. Drop Sheepdog Short and give Smith his role.

Loved his game. Started terribly, looked totally overawed. But bounced back well. The kick to Kamdyn was very classy.
His time of 2.88 seconds for the 20m sprint ranked third overall for all State Draft Combine participants, while his 8.05 seconds in the agility test ranked fourth and confirmed his elite acceleration.
Well said ts. Got more comfortable as the game went on. Some really nice plays. Play again next week.
14 disposals! solid effort from effectively a first gamer.
4th most metres gained for us - 372. Upgrade on Short on current form.
This. 372m gained. For a first gamer (essentially).
Made mistakes, went to ground, but once started to get used to the pace of AFL football found his feet.
That's why you keep playing these kids (especially that have his pace) when the season is done. 1 game here = 10 at VFL level.
Funny you mention short I was thinking that these crop of kids although there are probably 5 that Are similar types they make short look slow.
