Have that same empty feeling from when Dale broke his leg against the same mugs.

Re: Clay Smith

Thought it would be the worst news just hoping for good. Gutted for him.

Re: Clay Smith

Worse thing that can happen to a young player, hopefully he gets back to start the new season.

Re: Clay Smith

Gutted. He gave us plenty this season, really thought he was finding his feet as an AFL player. Developing into a real weapon. Hard, aggressive bullocking play not unlike Mitch Hahn with a dash of that traitor Callan Ward's good traits for good measure.

His best performances were across the HFF as well which for a kid is a tough gig IMO. Hope he has a full recovery.

Re: Clay Smith

Ouch. Poor Clay.

I really enjoy watching him play. I think crunched about two players on the weekend just through his aggression and his kicking on goal has been quite impressive. Will be missed.

Re: Clay Smith

A lot of oposition players will breath a little easier knowing they don't have to try and get past this bloke. One of the best tacklers seen at this club even after just two seasons. Hope to see you round 1 next year Clay.

Re: Clay Smith

All the best for a speedy recovery Clay, the side will certainly miss you!

Re: Clay Smith

Can't wait to see the damage this guy will do when he gets back after 12 months in the gym

Re: Clay Smith

Broke my heart, this bloke bleeds for the club already, might not be pretty but how good could he be as a future captain?

Re: Clay Smith

Good luck with your rehab.

He is growing on me due to his 'bully' like traits around the ball, but his kicking ( except for goal) is still an area of concern... Seems the type of character who will do all he can to improve so hopefully it rings true.

Re: Clay Smith

One of the things I like most about Clay is when he is in one-on-one with an opponent going for a ground ball, you can be very confident that he will with the contest. Similarly, if he needs to apply a tackle, they just don't get past him without being held up.

Competitive beast. Can't wait to see him back playing after the rehab.

Seems to be 'made of pretty good stuff' as the coach likes to say.

His improvement as a tagging type recently plus his ability around goals has certainly added some strings to his bow, plus he is good fun to watch around the ball. Definitely a guy who'll leave no stone unturned to improve. His kicking will never be elite but he certainly is beginning to win me over. Hope he gets back for round one next year.
