Horrific selection in hindsight but I think I remember reading back through some 2008 phantoms last year and many were talking Smiff up as a top 20 pick IIRC.
I bet a lot of it stemmed from his record breaking sprint time too.
Jesus, Sloane or Motlop would be ridiculously handy right now. Though wouldn't be surprised if Motlop was also delisted by now given our poor track record with players with commitment/consistency issues

Here is the write up:-
15 – GEELONG – ASHLEY SMITH
Dandenong Stingrays, VIC, Medium defender, July 20, 1990, 185.5cm, 84.7kg
(Draft range: 5-32)
Some recruiters believe Smith is as talented as any player in this draft. Widely regarded as a solid top 30 selection, he has even been touted as a smoky for the Dons at No.5. Hawthorn (No.16) and Port Adelaide (No.22) are also genuinely prospects, but in recent weeks, Smith has shot right into contention at Geelong and looms its most likely choice, unless Johnston is available. The Cats will be keeping an eye out for Trengove if he slid through and Swift, who remains right in the reckoning.
