“Wittsy has been brilliant over the past three seasons, however we thought it was important to add some depth to our ruck stocks and Zac will provide Jarrod with some healthy competition and more importantly cover where required.” Cats GM List & Strategy, Craig Cameron.

AFL FANTASY TAKE
Smith returns to the Suns in what will likely be a back-up role, if coach Stuart Dew opts to play a dual ruck set-up that won’t be ideal for Jarrod Witts.
Smith averaged 73.3pts from 3 games in 2019, he averaged a career season high 85.0pts in 2017 while at the Cats.
Selecting Smith in deep draft leagues could pay off if Witts goes down with any type of long term injury, he’s a pass in classic.
