His listed attributes are hitouts, physicality and AGGRESSION!! What's not to like about that?
From his highlights of his ruck duels, that certainly seems to be the case. Who knows, but with Cox out he could well end up playing AFL this year. I like what I see. |

mmm what are the attributes ?
200 cm
Quick
Big Bodied
Strong pack mark
But can he kick ? - Replay shows a collect and 50 mtr goal on the Siren to win a game. I guess he can kick too.
Have we finally selected a potential KPF (combination with Steene Ruck) |

Iliro Smit (Eastern Ranges)
Smit has rare traits for a 200cm talent, kicking some miraculous goals in the Talent League for Eastern Ranges and showing off his athleticism. The ruck-forward also showed promising signs in the Young Guns series. Smit, 18, missed a year and a half with injury, including his entire draft year in 2023. He has been interviewed by at least four clubs in the lead-up and, like his Ranges teammate Maclean, he is also part of Box Hill’s list. Interestingly, there is a website putting forward ‘Big Roo’ Smit’s case.

Back to the Future!
Sounds like a name that would’ve rucked against Lazar Vidovic and Ilija Grgic in the 90’s.
Big Roo or the Flyin’ Dutchman? |

Thats what I thought too. Could the writing be on the wall for some of them after this?

| Is still playing junior league as a top agent. Averaging about 6 kicks and 2 marks per game in the juniors. Lots of tap outs. Very much a recruit for the future, rather than now. We could have got teakle, but decided against thaty |

He was part of Hawthorns NGA program, so I’m guessing the club has got in before the likelihood of Hawthorn selecting him in the 2024 ND.
Clearly the club didn’t blink and chose to select a project player rather than the quick ruck fix. Smits selection is another in a Collingwood trend that shows the clubs preference to invest in tall project players outside of the ND.
Teakle was still available when we picked Smit, so we couldn’t have been that red hot on Teakle as a band aid solution. |
