The AFL pre-season is set to be an exciting one this year, with the return of former Eagles star and No.1 draft pick, Jack Smith. Smith was traded to the Eagles in the off-season and is now set to face his former side in the pre-season.
The move has been met with excitement from both sides, with the Eagles looking forward to seeing what Smith can bring to the table, and Smith himself eager to prove his worth to his new team. Smith was the No.1 pick in the draft and is expected to make an immediate impact for the Eagles.
Smith was a star for the Eagles in his first two seasons, winning the Rising Star award in his debut season and being named in the All-Australian team in his second year. He was also a key member of the Eagles’ premiership-winning side in 2018.
Smith’s return to the Eagles will be a welcome one, as he is one of the most talented players in the competition. He is a dynamic midfielder who can play both inside and outside, and is a strong ball-winner. He is also a good decision-maker and has a great football IQ.
The pre-season match between the Eagles and Smith’s new side will be an interesting one, as both teams will be looking to get off to a good start ahead of the season proper. It will also be a chance for Smith to prove himself against his former team, and show why he was so highly rated in the draft.
The AFL pre-season is always an exciting time of year, and this year it will be even more so with the return of Jack Smith. It will be interesting to see how he performs against his former side, and if he can make an immediate impact for his new team. It promises to be an exciting match, and one that all AFL fans should keep an eye on.
