The Lions filled their need for speed through the midfield with Smith. A bolter of sorts, the 188cm onballer is strong, competitive and will complement a group that already features Dayne Zorko and Lachie Neale.
The Lions also continued to pair mates at the Gabba, selecting Berry – the brother of midfielder Jarrod – with pick No.36.
He was a surprise selection to many at their second pick, but they’ll be rapt to get another quality character at the club.
Joyce gives the Lions extra depth through the midfield, while Academy prospect McFadyen slipped through to pick No.42 – later than they might have expected.
Answerth is a 19-year-old prospect who missed his chance in 2017, having been ruled out for the year with a back injury
