Hi people's,
Springvale Champion Shayne Smith won't be returning to the club or VFL football In 2005 the guy hasn't been scene since November & he's body wasn't up too It either the 190cm-100kg big Full-Forward who kicked 470 goals in 8 season's 28 for Sandy & around 440 for Springvale along the way passing Keith Robinson's club record of 362 has gone a sad story :( a funny man In he's own right alway's made people laugh pretty popular @Scorpland but hated by other supporters Ex:Sandy etc etc!!!....but alot of people will miss this guy he was a true player & about winning one thing about Smithy he hated losing & always wanted to be a winner.
Shayne could win a game off he's own boot in the late 90's a stalwart who kicked 106 goals in 97 (something Nick Sautner hasn't done yet) Smithy was the last player to bang home a cenetry,he was always great watching I could never wait watching him on Tv in the late 90's with he's long blond hair a charcter with class...Smith who turn's 30 in june has called It a day the body not up to It anymore it's said people's he will be missed :( ...
Shayne Smith Springvale's winning Goal-Kicker from 97-2002 & he's last season was ordinary...but Graham Wright didn't give Smithy much of a go..I never liked Graham for that I always thought him & wright didn't see eye to eye...look that's my view anyway.
Smith the guy is all class!!! :D
Shayne alwas enjoyed a drink & a nice bloke was a star with the chicks too.
I think Smithy has an obsessed fan.
I should get Monica Seles to give him a call.
As much as i hated him when Port played against him. Shayne was a very good footballer and i doubt we will see another player kick 100 goals in a season for a while.
He even played a couple of AFL games for the Sydney Swans in the early 90's!
good career, good luck for the future
Shayne Smith will be playing at Dingley this season/05,
Yes Paul Amy from the local rag wrote up a fine story,hoping people won't remember smithy for he's poor effort In 2004 where he struggled to get a kick & the coaching staff Wright etc didn't have any faith in the King Full-Forward...Smith played 153games Kicked 470goals,played 4games for Sydney(94),Sandy he played 17(96),97-2002 Springvale Scorpions he was a real player he was always trying hard finished 3rd under Kenny Sheldon In the B & F,but left because of money to Chelsea & came back to Scorpions hoping to get he's senior spot back but struggled because of reason's & now Shayne has gone. In 2004 Smith kicked only 6goals in I think 9-10games :( ....
Everybody I would all hope we remember Shayne for what he did with the from those 6years & all the goals & behinds he booted home for the Scorpions,He loved having fun & people loved him :D ...at 21 he almost gave the game up before the Scorpions changed that.
Shanye Smith U will be missed :( ...I need people to come & speak about smithy on this topic,
A talented player that never really produced the goods due either the big head and petulance he had or maybe just plain lazyiness.Could have been a handy AFL player if he had knuckelled down.
Very true
