Senior 7. Jagga Smith

[Ninja Worrier]

Posted last September I wanted jagga, just assumed it was a pipe dream...pinch me

 

[skadoosh]

Extremely happy to have Jagga.

This kid has a good footy brain, and will be a delight to watch next year!

We were between a rock and a hard place with so many quality mids to choose from, but wild horses couldn't drag us away from our choice in the end.
Gimme shelter in the stands of the 'G, or for that matter, from my voodoo lounge so that I can allow this guy's footy skills to start me up.
I'm quite sure he'll never be our beast of burden.

That first goal against the tuggers.

Yeow

Jaggers stat no.s are insanely good. Compare his no.s to Lalor and O’Sullivan and you have to wonder how we got him at 3. Sorry just needed to be said.

 

[Malifice]

To the draft watchers, what's his defensive pressure, tackling and chasing like.

Elite. Smaller frame hurts him, but the rest is all there. No worries defensively.

Best tackler for mine is probably Lalor (aggressive tackler).

Does he use his agility to shut down space for opponents if they get the ball?

Yes. Probably the best at it in the draft.

Seriously, his only flaws are his attacking game needs work (but he's already shown he can do this, with him getting feedback earlier in the year about poor meters gained and immediately improving in this metric in his next half dozen games) and his light frame.

His decision making, endurance, evasiveness, follow up work, defensive running, footy IQ, professionalism, coachability, consistency and character are hard (read: next to impossible) to fault.

He was the best available at 3. In every metric he is better than the blokes taken at 1 and 2, its just he lacks the 'impact per possession' match winning turn of Lalor (who is a genuine bull, along the lines of De Goey or Dusty) or the high ceiling of FOS (classy, skillful but laconic).

About as sure fire a 200 gamer AFL player as you could want.

Plays and moves like Butters (or a Walsh/ Nick Daicos hybrid). Has the potential to be as good as any of those three (and at a bare minimum a solid A grader)

 

[El Topo]

Skinny mid with a bogan name - plus those comments about proving the doubters wrong at VFL level - our boy has a healthy sized chip on his shoulder

The Stones references are nice, but I always preferred the Fab Four...

Go well Jagga - the number 7 awaits, we’ll wait the domination.

 

[carlton_99]

He's the most impressive 18-year old I have seen us pick up in terms of the way he talks/carries himself

Cez has copped the short straw here

 

[Revenant1995]

Well spoken. Talented player. Excited to have Jagga at the Blues.

We’ve done a major robbery here can’t believe we got Jagga!!!

Hairline just hanging in there at 18.

Cincotta haircut incoming.

I often really pour over the stats of players. Height. Weight. Speed. Endurance. Leap. Possessions. Contested. Goals. Whatever I can find.

Don’t need ANY for Jagga. After watching every peace of footage of him on the internet….

My eyes told me he’s just one thing.

A GUN footballer.

Love him already. Welcome to the Big 7 young man. Crippa, Charlie, Tom, Sam, Weiters and Harry are waiting for you.

And I look forward to Windows’ first training report with you featuring.

will be fighting for a midfield spot against each other else will end up as subs. Just incredible.

Jagga will be for sure in front of them by round one.

Happy with this, just need to get the black and white filth off him, and give him time to do his thing.

Anyone coming from east of Nicholson Street...

 

[Blues90]

we actually got the best player in the draft.

I watched the game where he had 50 and 17 clearances. Kids ELITE. Does it against men already

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

Go well Jagga - the number 7 awaits, we’ll wait the domination.

Gotta say, I used to love the old days when the young recruits got something like number 54, and you'd have to paw through your footy record to work out who the **** it was....

Can't believe he slid to our pick

That's better than the actual haircut Cerra is sporting half the time...

 

[Bale Dup]

Welcome Jagga [emoji846]

You will be a huge part of this great club's return to where it belongs imo.

Thought there might be some happy people tonight and rightly so.

Absolute gun.
Great selection.

Couldn't be happier!
If I knew how to insert a gif to show how happy I am, I would do it, but seeing as I can't, you'll have to take my word for it.
