Assuming Smith won't be back until mid season from his ACL, can we elevate a rookie until Smith resumes his position.

If so, who would we look at?

If not, delete the thread! :)

Jong would be the only chance at present you would think.

Greenwood seems to be miles off.

Austin & Redpath would only be a chance if we got a few injuries to key backs.

That said there are still a few in front of Jong so I don't see any need to promote him at the moment. If he impresses for Footscray then he may get a chance later in the season as there will most likely be someone else on the long term injury list by then.

How long is Smith expected to be out for ?

The only mention I found on the website is that he is regressing to schedule' no likely return date or anything.

I don't see a need to promote a rookie. Jong for me is a fair way off (albeit, with a huge amount of scope for improvement), while Redpath and Austin can be called in if KPF cover is required.
