Okay
Naismith looking good for either the sole third year rookie spot or senior upgrade.
Impressed with his tackle count, seems like he gets amongst it - and he's a NSW boy!
He definitely needs to stay. Hopefully onto senior list. We must be preparing for the post pyke era. It will be a battle between nankervis and Naismith for primary ruck in two years time
Stats are up on the Footy Live app.

Pretty impressive from Mills as a bottom age u-18s player, also had 4 inside 50s and 4 rebound 50s as well.
Encouraging that Naismith was named best afield, the initial write up on the website mentioned his athleticism which is reflected in his 7 inside 50s (most for the team).
Also a good sign that Davis is finding the footy inside 50...in the national champs he just seemed to have a knack of getting the ball both in the air and on the ground and creating scoring chances - that can't be taught. Pity his kicking boots weren't on!
Pat Mitchell must be the record holder for most consecutive games with exactly 5 possessions.
Oh he doesn't actually get them, the stats sheet is pre printed with 5 possessions as the default setting :-)
Let's see how much improvement over summer.
Highlights from 1:08-2:45
Must have been a cold day down in Canberra, at least 4 players wearing long sleeves.
It was absolutely freezing in Canberra just before we left for the Carlton game at about 2pm, so it certainly was a very cold day!
