Making a comeback from a knee injury, which kept him out of the 2019 AFL season, Naismith was a shining light in the Swans Marsh Community Series loss to the Greater Western Sydney Giants.
The 94-point loss marked the former Gunnedah Bulldog's first senior game for the Swans since the 2017 semi-final.

Ongoing problems due to the 2017 ACL rupture kept the 206 centimetre ruckman on the sidelines for much of the past two seasons.
But his performance gave Swans fans plenty of hope he will be a regular fixture this season.
The 27-year-old took on the majority of the ruck duties during the 121 to 27 loss, only receiving brief assistance from Callum Sinclair and Michaell Knoll.
Naismith will be hoping to add to his tally of 13 career games when the Swans begin their 2020 season campaign against the Adelaide Crows on March 21.
