Barrett gave Bevo and the team a fair roost on AFL Tokyo rose. Credit where it is due.

Re: We still love you Clay.
A lot of kudos went to Caleb Daniel, The Bont & JJ for that matchwinning goal and deservedly so. However it wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for Clay's crunching tackle inside 50 that won us the ball back.
So glad to have him back. We have more beast when he is in.Listening to Brahm's 3rd RacketComment

Re: We still love you Clay.
That sort of play is the main reason I've been itching for him to return.
He's far more than just a raging bull, he actually knows his to use his body position and his strength in order to increase his chances of winning the ball and this is a shining example of it.
He's an insanely smart footballer in tight.Comment

Re: We still love you Clay.
Just praying to the footy gods that his knees hold up for the next 3 months.
He's actually what our forward line needs. Manic pressure, physicality and some smarts around goal.Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.Comment

Re: We still love you Clay.
Basically a better version of early 2015 Honeychurch's role.
I was impressed with his kicking too. I've always thought he was a bad looking kick as opposed to a bad kick and despite cringing everytime I saw his ball drop he pretty much hit a target every time.I should leave it alone but you're not rightComment

Re: We still love you Clay.
Welcome return. He hasn't 'lost it'. Let's just hope he keeps it via a strong body.
Some of his efforts of pure desperation were incredible v Sydney. He's exactly what we need up forward, could be a very crucial player (touch on wood).W00F!Comment

Re: We still love you Clay.
He has this maniacal attack on the footy and an old school, truely tough, stoic demeanour. Could be your great grandpa. If it was local footy, you'd be genuinely scared to line up on the bloke, nothing to do with punch ups, niggle or any the Norf faux tough guy approach though. Just pure infliction of pain any time you managed to get to the footy first.Time and Tide Waits For No ManComment

Re: We still love you Clay.
Out and Out Gun.
I am so ashamed of myself, I totally forgot how good he is. I even said on this forum he would struggle to be best 22.
When players are injured for long periods the public / media tend to view them with rose coloured glasses and they become better than what they actually are - this tends to happen to 99% of players.
Clay Smith is clearly in the 1 %.
Here's hoping to ten more years of egg on my face....More of an In Bruges guy?Comment

Re: We still love you Clay.
88% game time first game back in. And that win was one of the best I can remember. Good lad.
Clay, Libba, CD, Luke D, Wally, Bont with cameo from Jake Stringer. That's an A-grade midfield.You don't develop courage by being happy in your relationships every day. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity. ― EpicurusComment
