The headlines write themselves with Jagga Smith, who plays up to them with some of the slickest work of any midfielder in the pathway. While juggling school footy commitments, he averaged 30 disposals in 10 Talent League games last year and seamlessly stepped up to representative level with Vic Metro’s Under 18s. He’s lightly built, but clean and agile enough to take inside ball to the outer without being touched. He'll start 2024 ranked among the top five talents nationwide, and will push his case to be ranked number one with a full-time footy focus having already graduated from school.
