Devon Smith has had a lot of soldiers fall around him at Essendon this year, but tonight gets a few of them back for the Dreamtime game as the club tries to arrest a calamitous slide from 5-2 to out of the eight. He is a relatively reliable fantasy conveyance these days without hitting the heights as he tends to start outside the square on a wing rather than maximising his CBAs, a role which probably suits his team contribution without squeezing the most out of himself statistically. At least he doesn't cop the tag any more, so his scoring floor isn't as low.
