TRANSFER SAGA: Brisbane Lions have landed another top prospect who has…

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.

They also attempted to claim Jarrod Cameron – the younger brother of Charlie – with pick No.39, forcing West Coast to match a bid on its Next Generation Academy prospect.

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
