Does anyone recall a Sydney Swans reserves player named Brett Smith? Sorry, no specific details. I think he would have played in the maybe late 1980s or early/mid 1990s.
Might have been one of those guys invited to have a run with the ressies.

No. From around that era I recall Tony Smith (Former Sydney Swans AFL player Tony Smith charged over alleged unlawful detention of bank executive - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)), Greg Smith and Brett Scott. Sure you aren't conflating a few?
My opinion is objective truth in its purest form
It is possible. In the early-mid 80s there were a number of players who got reserves games but for whom there seems to be few records.
Yeah, that's what I figured. I was wondering if anyone had any old Footy Records or team photos that might have listed him.
Mostly curious. I'll have a look at my old Grand Final Footy records, as I remember until the early 90s they used to have pretty extensive team lists at the back pages.
Cheers though
I have vague recollections of seeing his name in the record but there was a Brett Rose around the same time so I might be getting confused with him. I'll see if I can dig out an old record.

In searching for Brett Smith I looked at our draft picks over the years (he is not there from 1991 onwards) and interesting to see how many rookies just never kick on. This said, our last 5 or so years have been productive, specially 2012. Can I assume that is down to Kinnear Beatson, his team plus the Swans structure of bringing players on?
I helped out with a lot of old jumper numbers a few years ago and there is a list of them somewhere on RWO. I can clearly remember a Brett Smith around 1990 and was number 50 from memory. He played in an era when basically anyone from NSW who knew what AFL was had a run in the reserves and under 19s.
I FEEL THE NEED FOR SPEED!!!!!
Good memory.
