Smith scored 45 in a 2-point WB away win at Adelaide Oval — tight game, but 45 from an emergency ruckman who only had 6 disposals is underwhelming in a contest that needed every possession. He cleared his 18 BE so no price drop, but the cash gen from $119.9k is only moving if he keeps playing. His job security is entirely Darcy and Emmett — not his own form. Hold for now if you bought after R7, but the exit clock is ticking the moment either of those two are named.
