Some stats for Josh Smith:

Possessions - Averaging 20 per game
Marks - Averaging 6 per game
Goals - 19 in total
Behinds - 20 in total
Hitouts - Averaging 5 per game

He is 194cm and 96kg

"For his size, Smith possesses precise capture and disposal skills and a razorsharp football brain."

Would he be looked at by FFC. Id like us to get him down the club as a rookie.

How old is he? And what's his position?

 

[Belnakor]

Dan Bandy looks like he's going alright, he polled 20 and 16 votes.

Sorry IP he is 21. Has played in the ruck, and at both ends of the ground.

Lol, i took this from an article on the worst website...

 

[Ripper]

He has looked quite useful in the little I have seen of him on TV.

Players performing at WAFL Level don't nessicarily mean performing at AFL level. An example that comes to mind is Adam Richardson who booted 100 goals (and was the last to do so) in the SANFL (widely regarded as the best state comp). Was drafted by the Crows and struggled in his limited appearances (He was fairly old though like 26). Reminded of this cause the Crows are apparently looking at Brant Chambers who has kicked 60ish and the next best is 39.

Yea i just thought he might be a good addition to the rookie list.

And you are on the money. He would be a rookie who could step up straight away (as opposed to the Coppings of this world). Apparently took some time off footy so the old 21 year old body should hold up.
