Could be wrong but Smith was likely drafted with the view of eventually playing as a midfielder; hasn't turned out that way but it would not have been an unreasonable expectation.
Cheating to keep Tippett and denying ourselves the chance to draft Cripps is the big sin, meekly allowing tackling bull Jack Redden to be wooed by West Coast when we'd just lost Patrick flipping Dangerfield and using the pick that would have pipped the Eagles on a speculative medium defender is up there too. Particularly when West Coast have an abundance of similar types and we have no one that tackles apart from Sloane.
