Yep - and he's young so there is time for him to get it right. Jobe Watson is a good example.

Seen this mentioned a few times on here. Decision making (composure) was the major issue with him, rather then his actual kicking skills. Source - Kevin Sheedy.

On Smith I've been pretty critical of the selection, I thought we should have been looking for someone a bit more skillful (Crozier). But if his kicking keeps improving like on the weekend then we could end up with a potential gun.

Respect the kid enormously, but you have to be kidding about the kick ( at this point in time )
Hope he can sort it out because I love the other stuff he brings to the table.

Nope I'm serious.

You'll note I didn't say "he's a good/great kick", only that he isn't awful. If I've "got to be kidding" then you obviously think he's an awful kick?

As Smith gets more experience - I'm sure he will know how to work within his limitations better also.

I really rate the kid, and we are getting a terriffic return out of a (not even) second year player so far.

Season just started. See how he gets along. His ball drop last year made me wince.

Yeah I agree it looks terrible. Regardless of whether the season just started, I thought his kicking was ok last year too. Not great again, just not as bad as his style might make it appear.

He will be fine.

Some nice kicking here:
