I think Smith shows something, but at the moment he's trying to impose himself and it's not coming off due to his physical limitations and lack of experience.
He was a very highly rated junior and is worth persevering with, given time to find his feet we might have a player.
At least he backs himself which is always good to see in a young player.

He needs a lot of work. But he is really young.

Indeed.
Cripps showed nothing much in his first season.

Cripps looked like he could play from day 1. Had he not broke his leg, he would have played a lot more.
Mind you, he can still improve, but he does have the sort of things we need: poise, strength, the ability to get the ball, etc. His kicking is the next thing that needs work: move over Casboult, you're about to get a partner or 4 in the goal kicking training.
Live Long and Prosper!

Cripps needs a rest(yound body and all that) , murph looked sore, don't want to overwork Krooz after a long lay off.

They are all legit reasons for some more list management.

You mean apart from the broken leg?

There was that but in his few senior appearances he didn't look anything special, on the other hand I saw him play a VFL game last year and it was obvious he was a class above that level.
I'm not suggesting that Clem Smith has the ability of Cripps but he's a first year player who's played a handful of games, we'll know a lot more about him this time next year.
This time last year I thought that Nick Graham was a VFL footballer but I've reconsidered, hopefully Smith will cause a few people to do the same.

Why all the hate on Smith?

How many Pick 60s play football in their first year and don't look like a deer in headlights?

He is way ahead of schedule.
