Here's hoping he comes in within the next couple of weeks for a downgrade from tapscott/darling/matera!
i'll be sticking him the mids. get rid of those GC boys swallow and harris, + open up multi-pos support
+1 911HS. Am currently stuck with Krak and Prestia in the forward line with no way to get either of them into the midfield to upgrade/downgrade. Smith/Mzungu/Winmar if they show something, will be very welcome.
It will be interesting to see how he fits into the Docker's list once Barlow returns (if he returns). If Barlow picks back up where he left off next year, he could be an interesting unique pick.
Spud...most of the chatter has been that Poop is ready for a run and done very litle wrong in the 2nds, but that Smith, according to the BF boys of Hawkland, has been so-so and most likely not ready just yet. Your thoughts on this news of both coming up this week?
Question answered in a dual thread by Spud already: Truth be told, I'm more confident of Pup holding his spot once in. Has been up there each and every week for BH and has looked great when I've managed to catch the games. Smith is definitely worth a shot at senior level, if for no other reason than it will show him what is needed to play at the top level. However he has had a tendency to go missing for large parts of the game which is somewhat concerning. He may simply be one of those players who thrives in the big game and steps up to the challenge. Put simply - I'd be confident about bringing in Pops before he has even played a game, as I reckon he fills a hole for us, and his ability to play forward and back should keep him in the side for quite some time. Conversely, I would want to see Smith(potential sub eraly?) play his first two games before bringing him in. (but gee, would love the F/M link asap!)
