Unperturbed by the rain sheeting in horizontally at stages, on a bitterly cold, windy evening, Smith racked up a game-high 31 disposals, took five marks, had eight clearances and applied three tackles in the Tigers’ 22-point loss.
The Club’s VFL coach Steve Morris was full of praise for Smith, the player, and the person, during a post-match interview with Richmond Media.
“I just love the fact he’s, first and foremost, a wonderful human being,” Morris said.”
“He’s respectful, got lovely manners.
“He’s a real likeable kid and he was really grateful for the opportunity to be here. And the boys really enjoyed having him a part of our group.
“I think we’ve got him for another couple of games and, hopefully, he continues that great form that he started in.”
