Thought I would throw it out there but I've got Billie Smedts on my radar. 200k def so an expensive rookie, but by all reports he is flying and a strong chance for rd 1. If not many others options pop up over the rest of the pre-season I may select him.
Here is a report off the Cats website from 10th Feb.
Smedts, who has played 33 AFL games since making his debut in 2012, has certainly impressed his coaches.
"He's trained really, really well," Geelong's backline coach, Dale Amos, said.
"Particularly post-Christmas, I think the way he's gone about it and his attitude towards feeling like he's part of the AFL team has been really solid.
"He's been doing a lot of work with Matty Scarlett and we can see the benefits of that already.*
"All the indications at the moment are that he's preparing himself well and giving himself a chance to play some AFL footy early in the year, which is good.
"In footy terms, he hasn't played a lot of footy, so it's an important stage for him.*
"He's in that group of players that we need to really push us forward and establish themselves as senior players.
