The Bulldogs took athletic defender Roarke Smith from the Calder Cannons with their first pick in the 2014 NAB AFL Rookie Draft (No. 5 overall)

At 182cm, Smith brings pace and an impressive left foot and is known for his close-checking style.

Smith is an athletic, medium sized defender with a capacity to go into the midfield, that has a proven ability to play above his height.

An impressive vertical leap is a standout feature amongst Smith's attributes, and has shown he's more than adept at winning his own ball.

Smith was a member of the Calder Cannons' 2014 TAC Cup Grand Final side.
