BIOGRAPHY

March 9 - debut vs Gold Coast in Round 0.
PRE RICHMOND
The former Sydney ruckman was thrown a lifeline by the Tigers after they lost Ivan Soldo to Port Adelaide during the 2023 trade period.
After being delisted by the Swans at the end of 2022, Naismith joined VFL club Port Melbourne in 2023 and showed enough to attract interest from several AFL clubs looking for a readymade ruckman.
Previous AFL club: Sydney (2014-20: 30 games, 3 goals).
Draft history: 2013 Rookie Draft NSW priority zone selection (Sydney) No. 59; 2015 NAB AFL Draft rookie elevation (Sydney); 2023 delisted free agent (Richmond).
