Harry smith kicked 90 goals last year and missed 20, with one game remaining he’s kicked 86 goals and missed 51, he’s missed 30 more goals than Jake Clifford who’s missed the second most in the league. I can’t see an assistant coach leaving being such a big reason to drop off so much as people say but I do agree about pressure being on him more often than not this year, and the criticism he’s received at times is very unfair because the rest of his game is very good and maybe with Keighran taking the boot off him for next year could see him excel even more in that aspect.

Can’t feel anything but pleased for Smith today. He looked relaxed as could be popping them over. Maybe he’s been trolling us all!

Maybe the break has given him chance to correct a few things and refocus. As you say, NK, he seemed a lot more confident and relaxed today

I've heard, not sure how true it is tho, that Briers did a day with the lads in the week. Maybe he got the boots out with Smith?

It seemed it. He stroked every single kick, where he’s been snatching at stuff before. If that was down to Briers having some time with them, then he’s a genius!

He's been working with Paul Grayson hasn't he?
