Welcome to Richmond - Kaleb Smith
- Thread starter Smoking Aces
- Start date
We need to be extra extra cautious with this kid
I really dont care if he plays many VFL or AFL games this year as its really a nothing year for thr club and its all about development of the young players.
Not sure if they could do play 2 and rest 1 game or just play him limited game time for the next 10-12 weeks and assess.

Kaleb Smith (21 disposals, 76% disposal efficiency, three marks, six rebound-50s, six inside-50s)
Morro:
“Really proud of Kaleb. He has put a power of work into growing his game over the past 12 months and is certainly reaping the rewards of that hard work. His cleanliness and ball use by foot has really stood out and he is stringing together a great month of football.”
This bloke gets better every week. Six rebounds and six I50s. Work rate. Tough. Classy. Composed. Contested. Quick. Quality.

Yeah he looks like he has everything to make a splash at AFL level.
One of our very brightest kids.
You going early again? We've played 36 blokes and he ain't in yet. Calm the farm.
Premature imagination running rife.
Going early? You wrote him off before he walked into the car park at Punt Road!
He had a serious injury last year. Club is slowly building him up hence why he hasnt played yet.
Will he play AFL anytime soon? Probably not based on the above.
But he has all the traits to an AFL player.
Come on Scoop you cant get them all right!
Another very solid game by Kaleb.
Beautiful user of the footy and so assured with ball on hand.

Looks like he'll debut this week in the Dreamtime game. Bring 'em on Tiges. Build the kids.
Written up by Tony Greenberg on the website so you would think that's a sign.
I think I am right in saying that if he does play there won't be anyone left on the list who hasn't played an AFL game except for the 2 cat B rookies and Fawcett who is yet to be available.
This season we have used 39 players. Only Smith, Fawcett, Bauer, Hayes-Brown and Colina haven't played in 2024.
maybe Smith half back, moving Rioli mid field during Smithy time on the field?
I'd love to see Rioli more in the midfield. I really think he could provide us something like Ed Richards is providing the Dogs, but we might not see it at its best until we get a proper midfield back.
I think you’re right. Always nice to debut players, but not like this.
It certainly looks like Kaleb is due to debut this week, mainly through good form but a little bit due to our injury list. That said, the lad has worked hard so deserves his chance

“Kaleb was one of the best on ground. It was a fantastic performance once again from him. He's growing as a player each and every week.”
Must be close..
