Snapshot
Summary

Ella Smith is the younger of the two namesakes that earned AFLW Draft Combine invites, with the Brisbane Lions Academy leader putting together a consistent 2022 season. Juggling her football commitments with a passion for rowing, she has a lot of terrific inside traits, and while she has some other areas such as in-game explosiveness and hitting the scoreboard as ways of improving, she has put together a strong body of work.
