    I found this nugget of information tucked away in a Hun article today.

    Category: | Herald Sun

    SYDNEY shocked Essendon by securing SANFL ruckman Michael Knoll in the mid-season draft, with the Dons barely disguising their frustration at missing the former college basketballer. One of their stated reasons was because of uncertainty over the future of back-up ruckman Sam Naismith, who hasn’t played since rupturing an ACL in March last year. He required another arthroscope in March this year, but Naismith has finally started putting training sessions together and should be back in the last six weeks of the year. He played 15 games in 2017 and looked to have spectacular talent but hasn’t written his season off.

      Yup.


      Ive heard this about McVeigh for 5 years now. I think our defenders of Mills, Allir, Rampe, Lloyd, Jones, Melican etc and few others have been in the system long enough to not need nanny-mcveigh out there pointing for them.
      Again.
      Feel my temperature. There's something wrong with me.
      Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
      Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

        I would have thought so too. But when I saw him coming straight back in, without doing a week in the 2's it got me wondering - is he going to be offered another year as well?

          Hope not.
          Kizza and Smooch can go as well.
          Thanks boys for giving us your all, but it's time.

              Smith hasn't played this year. A bit unfair to write him off just yet. Having said that, I could see him never playing for the Swans again.

                What is the actual injury of Smith and what is the extent of it? He has been out a long time and there does not seem to be much indication if or when he is going to return. Do any of the RWO's know?

                  Smith tore his hamstring Round 21 last year. Eventually had surgery, then started running in off season, but could not get past running in straight lines. So had more surgery in early May to relieve scar tissue.

                  From this article seems doubtful that we will see him at all this year.

                  Swan's season could be over after more hamstring surgery - AFL.com.au

                      Thanks Meg. After reading the article I can sadly envisage another retirement at seasons end.
