Welcome to Richmond - Kaleb Smith
- Thread starter Smoking Aces
- Start date
If this guy has half the career George has had thus far he (and us) would be rapt.
Was an inspired pick. One of the big rookie draft success stories.
Kaleb Smith made Sheehan’s top 40
Here is his bio
State: Western Australia
State League Club: East Fremantle
Community Club: Melville
Date of Birth: 20/11/04; Height: 180cm; Weight: 77kg
Versatile and powerful player who shared his football talent between Wesley College and East Fremantle. Excelled in the WAFL under-18s competition, averaging 22 disposals (nine contested) in six matches. Is strong overhead for his size and very quick, with the ability to break the lines. Also a state-level junior cricketer, he was extremely impressive at Draft Combine testing. His time of 2.88 seconds for the 20m sprint ranked third overall for all State Draft Combine participants, while his 8.05 seconds in the agility test ranked fourth and confirmed his elite acceleration.
Weapon: Elite speed and agility
AFL player comparison: Adam Saad (Carlton)

Ok. So. Watched the vids.
I know senior AFL is a step up yadda yadda. But Smith's straight line agility is off the charts. Sidestep from the gods. Will make a lot of players look lead footed.

The family look like they are getting tired and just wanna give up until....EMOTION!!
I love the bloke in the background who says something like "I'm all Richmond now" or "I'm a Tiger now".
Same voice says "oh were from Tigerland" I think. Stirring stuff
Even better if he/family weren't Tiger supporters. Just shows how GREAT WE STILL ARE!!!!
Loved the emotion and excitement shown by family and friends. Looks to have resonable hair too ..... All the best to the young Richmond man.
Looking at the guys age, could be Kalebs dad. He just kept saying "thats awesome" too.
They seem genuinely pleased he has been picked up by us which is great.
I wonder what the AFL tells the families though about recording this. Do they just have an ongoing recording and ask them to gather round before every pick?
Trent will teach him how to take that hair from reasonable to exceptional.
