Senior 7. Jagga Smith

[windows1]

Well, we did spend pick 3 on him. If the comparisons were to Kane Lucas, I'd be concerned.

I still have PTSD from watching his first training session. People think “it’s only training” but you see an enormous sample size of kicks and ground balls etc at training and can see a lot go wrong….

It will be interesting to see how Jagga goes. Best case scenario, it will be a bit like Daicos or Ashcroft - the cream on top in a premiership push

Fairly certain this is exactly what Austin is trying to replicate

Devastating news. I was near interchange yesterday when Jagga was being assessed. Looked OK at the time.

Confirmed ACL

Devastated for the young bloke

AFL draftee’s year flipped upside down after ‘shocking’ discovery

Carlton were adamant ‘nothing too serious’ had happened - but their worst fears have now been realised.

****ing hell, such shit news.

Wow ****ing shit, ridiculously bad luck

In hindsight, don't know why jagga was still playing deep into 3rd qtr, on a 34 degree day, after copping a decent knock earlier in game in collision in marking contest with Harry McKay.

We rested Crippa for 2nd half.

Why not the same for the young gun????

Honestly, we are cursed. He was the shining light yesterday.

Jagga lasted one practice match ... a tad disappointing. Bum.

Jagga lasted one practice match ... a tad disappointing. All eggs in one basket n all that. Bum.

do you really think all our eggs were in jagga's basket?

I don't.

In the end it was very unlucky.

I do think it wouldn't of been a bad idea to build his body up so e more before exposing him to AFL bodies.

Whether it was planned or not, that is what we need to do now. He can be better prepared for 2026.

Bad luck for the young man, his family and the club. Expectations would have been skyhigh from all. Will be a long 12 months for everyone. Chin up, you still play for the greatest club in the AFL.

OK, Nick M. and Jagga S. out for the season. Not a great start to 2025, hopefully we're getting the worst out of the way now.

We just can’t have nice things!

Best wishes Jagga, hope the rehab goes well and get ready for an Ashcroft style Normie in the 26 granny!

Has Jagga ever done an ACL before in his junior days?

Pretty sure this is his first ever major injury. Possibly his first injury of any kind as well.

Can anyone supply us with an update on Jagga's rehab if at all possible.

Was indoors doing skills work with Greg Williams as of a training post from yesterday.
