What they said:
“Roarke Smith is a medium defender who can also run through the midfield.
“He’s very athletic, and really came on this season after getting a game in round five. He is really task orientated, we see him as a defender that can play on a range of different players.
“(He) has a great vertical leap and a good mix of speed and endurance which could see him push through the midfield.” – Bulldogs Recruiting Manager Simon Dalrymple following the 2014 NAB AFL Rookie Draft.
