tbh Clem Smith shouldn't really be playing AFL this year

He 100% doesn't have the tank yet. Does a couple of good things with his attack on the ball but needs to build a fitness base. I didn't think he would play considering how he played most of last week and we couldn't risk an early injury and him having to play a full game on the longest ground in the league.

He was named the sub for a good reason.

Unfortunately for Carlton, they've had to bring him on in the first quarter two games in a row.

Needs time in the VFL though, plenty of it.

Shouldn't even be a sub. I'd be very worried if he gets selected in the 22 again next week

Yeah pretty much

Lol, how is Priddis only on 54. Has felt like he should be on a bit more than that.

Skin folds and beep test were horrible at the combine, it's the main reason he fell as far as he did.

I can't believe he is on 54 ... He is made loads and loads of clangers and been ineffective

Simmo is getting slightly shafted but it might be due to not a lot of meters gained with his disposal. He had a couple marks and 3 kicks that hit the target for like 7 points. Most of the kicks were lateral though

That was always the worry with Clem. Too tubby and no tank. It's showing really badly.

I thought 12 contested, 6 clearances and 4 tackles would have more than offset the 4 clangers. maybe not at 50% DE thought

I thought players got points for marks from the opposition ... I am shocked he isn't on something like 60 ... But practically everything he has had has been uncontested ball so perhaps the scoring is fair ...

Backwards kicks are worth less this year.
