True. There's something about Ely I've always liked in the limited things I've seen so looking forward to seeing more and hopefully he's up to it.
He was a late first round pick, selected after the then perceived drop off of genuine first round talent.
I’m hoping Bailey plays predominantly wing, with Ely potentially playing a relief wing role, while spending the majority of his game time on the ball.
Suns are tweeting. Nowt from us (shocker).

3 Joe Daniher 4 Callum Ah Chee 6 Hugh McCluggage 7 Jarrod Berry 8 Ely Smith 9 Lachie Neale 10 Dan Rich 11 Linc McCarthy 14 Grant Birchall 15 Dayne Zorko 16 Cam Rayner 17 Jarryd Lyons 18 Keidean Coleman 21 Tom Fullarton 23 Charlie Cameron 25 Dan McStay 30 Eric Hipwood 31 Harris Andrews 33 Zac Bailey 35 Ryan Lester 36 Rhys Mathieson 37 Brandon Starcevich 40 Jack Payne 42 James Madden 46 Oscar Mcinerney
Well the Suns are doing alright in that regard of updating their fanbase on the match so maybe Brisbane could learn a lesson or two about social media engagement with this matter
Given where the club is at and what we're expecting from the year, yeah something would be nice. It's also the first hit out for our 'vfl side'. Don't need a play by play but sell a bit of hope...
