Smith impressed in his debut season, playing 14 games and showing maturity well beyond his years. The dashing 19-year-old averaged 13 disposals, picking up a career-high 23 touches against Port Adelaide in round four. The lean-bodied onballer added 3kg of muscle mass over the pre-season and should become a mainstay either in the midfield or at half-back in 2012.
David Noble: “I think Brodie had an exceptional year with the way he came in and approached the games. In the first eight weeks, in games where we weren't going all that well Brodie's form was very solid. He's another player, who has some great flexibility for us. He has good speed and will take a risk and run and carry the ball. We're really excited about what he's got to offer.”
