Jagga Smith was selected with pick No.3 in the 2024 Telstra AFL Draft.
Captain of the Oakleigh Chargers and Vic Metro, Smith emerged as one of the most consistent on-ballers of a highly touted draft crop, finding the footy with ease and using it accordingly.
The 18-year-old could hardly have been more impressive throughout the course of the season — in whatever team he played in.
It was in the Coates Talent League where Smith produced a staggering 50-disposal performance for the Chargers, while he averaged just shy of 30 disposals a game for Vic Metro in the Under-18 National Championships - earning him the honour of All-Australian captaincy in the process - before averaging 27 disposals in three games for Richmond’s VFL side.
Smith is a competitor, clean at the contest and demonstrated his class with ball in hand on numerous occasions throughout 2024, with the young leader now linking up with the likes of Patrick Cripps and Sam Walsh at IKON Park, already turning heads in his first AFL pre-season.
