Still only 19 from memory, I think he has a some genuine Upside….. didn’t he miss virtually his entire first season?

A pity he didn’t have another 10 games under his belt as we basically lost getting half a season of experience into him by playing Short over him. Anyhow he’ll get a decent go next year now that Rioli is going.
Kid has been injured alot since his draft
We rated him higher than green so hope the kid has a great pre season

Was rated more as a foward though and now looking like a Rioli replacement

Smith was drafted as a half back, although went forward out of necessity late in the year in the seniors. He played all his footy in the VFL at half back. I thought he trailed off the longer the season went, was playing great footy early in the season. Would be nice to see him raise his game over the summer because he is a good kick, has good speed and not afraid to sit under a ball in a marking contest.

Green himself could also play half back I reckon if Smith doesn't come on. His first game he hit 3 lace out passes with his first 3 kicks and has good attack on the ball and good speed. Would not be against seeing what he was like behind the ball, has a touch of class about him.
