Jagga the Bagger | 2024 AFL Draft STEAL

[@katewall6023]

Love it when he said the pies have gone in the bin as of last night 😅

[@chainSaw-b2y]

When did the pies ever get out of the bin?? 🚮

[@4whomittolz846]

He'll learn how fun it is to hate and be hated by them!

[@chainSaw-b2y]

@@4whomittolz846 he’s definitely going to cop it 😂🤣

[@blackie75]

Impressive young man, I hope he's at the Blues for many years to come.

[@Onlyfragheads]

Welcome Jagga bomb! Looks like an absolute weapon. We’ve got a good one!

[@MrYub]

Great point about who the key drivers are of a premiership 👍🏻 Excited to see Jagga the Bagga using his footwork off the back of our well publicised contested players Looks very slick and nimble

[@LucindaCalabrese]

Thrilled for him. He already speaks with such maturity. 🎉

[@murraymccheyne5576]

I was all in on Draper with his burst & P.O.D before the draft but then starting hearing about Jagga & watched his 14 minute highlights package it quickly changed my mind he’s got quick feet great in traffic has some real skill & that name dare I say it he’s got the moves like JAGGA he lets his footy do the talking 💙👍🤩

[@Cracka-jf5ro]

Can't believe Richmond and North pass on Jagga - 82 per cent efficiency and 6.8 clearances, 100% the best mid in the draft, has a tank and speed - Carlton FC well done.

[@Cracka-jf5ro]

Jagga will be the best player to pull on the number 7 jumper.

[@PetraKann]

@@Cracka-jf5ro Dominator, Crane, Ratten? I hope you’re right. If he equals any of these 3 we will be in good shape. All 3 played in premierships 💙

[@chainSaw-b2y]

Lalor was not a bad pick I would of taken him np..

[@Cracka-jf5ro]

@@PetraKann for me he has a bit of Judd, J.Selwood, Lachie Neale about the way he goes about it - Judd speed and side step, J. Selwood leadership, leads by example and Neale's abilities to in the right spot at the right time.

[@PetraKann]

@ on the leadership front i agree, but only with respect to Neale and Selwood. I dont put Judd in that elite captain’s group. In fact since following the Blues, (1970 onwards) Judd is in my bottom 2 skippers. Jagga seems to have all the attributes. I like the way he moves in heavy traffic. Clean ball user. Classy and has footy smarts. He does come into a Club with a poor 20 years behind it but has improved its culture since Voss arrived and Cripps has excelled as skipper. We will wait and see how Jagga performs. Exciting times ahead at Princes Park

[@t.e.e.j.a.y]

Has the skills, is quick, and has the brain, but when he said 'attacks the footy hard', that's exactly what we need

[@Ducatirati]

DOW was the nightmare pick 3 , we've had ours now time for a Superstar, Let's belt them into Shattered , no satisfaction , start me up , we'll smash em black and blue , they gonna need emotional rescue , Pleased to meet you , Jagga is the Name. GO BLUES RARARA

[@Tatumstantrum]

We should all be happy and very excited, this kid could've easily have been pick 1

[@junctionroadparklandsvlog5035]

Everything I've seen so far about Jagga Smith is quality. Fair to say that he is a ball magnet. And uses the ball very well.

[@anthonypage2531]

All great players, but I reckon we got the best of them. I said I thought we should get Draper, but Jagga is also a POD. I think long term he will be a Blues Legend. Go Blues.

[@shane6989]

Impressive communicator. Like it. Welcome Jagger the Bagger. Onward and upward.

[@Baggers_flaggers]

Was hoping for Sid Draper to be honest but only because I watched so much of his highlights over Jagger's. Looking forward to seeing him play and finding out where they'll fit him in. I'm sure he'll be a superstar! LFG 💙💪

[@deanhall6045]

Good pick you mob. Hope he becomes an absolute champion 🏆

[@howardtorly9803]

Always appreciate your mature outlook Terry. Let’s celebrate the fact that we just picked up one of the top few junior footballers in the country and get around the kid. Lots of negativity online from certain Carlton supporters. Yeah sure we can speculate how much better off we would be in the short term with Dan Houston or Sid Draper, but it’s just speculation. Nobody knows for sure. I’m excited to see Jagga in the navy blue in 2025 and beyond.

[@deanhall6045]

@@howardtorly9803 actually I know for sure mate, ...but only because I'm a Port supporter. You missed large on Houston, yet,.....this kid has talent. The bit you don't know is, will he develop? I'm thinking yes. Good luck 🍷

[@liamireland1974]

i just wonna put this out there idc if its even the same audience but at first i was really keen on sid draper and was kinda hating on jagga, but everything ive seen based around jagga after getting drafted has made me actually really glad we actually got him. people saying hes been a captain of pretty much everything since 12 years old. smooth mover through the midfield, great at link up plays, hits targets on a run and just finds the pill. clean in and under with some neat skills, and has some great leadership qualities even for an 18 year old, has a tank and speed. so excited to see him play.

[@loufolino7336]

I preferred to get Draper but after looking at his highlights a few more times, I reckon he’s gonna be a star

[@Cinimod-r3k]

Your microphone is working terry much better than last night

[@BlueAbroad]

@@Cinimod-r3k apologies about it mate. It’s a different connection to the live streams. Hopefully good to go tonight!

[@de-bkk4447]

Welcome Jagga. So glad we traded up in the draft. This kid looks so good. Would have been happy with him or Sid. Go Blues 💙💙💙💙

[@Ducatirati]

How the Flock did Dow was Dow a number 3 pick , let's pick the worst no 3 in history , then next time no 3 comes up it's an improvement on Dow ,DOH . RIC

[@peterv_bobbleheadblue]

Welcome aboard Jagga the Bagger.

[@xpacnwo2000]

Sid gave me Paddy Dow vibes, great speed from the contest but suspect ball use. Jagga is probably the most talented player in the draft, and offers something different to the big bodied mids we have, Jagga is a small mid, fleet of foot, elite talent.

[@NaradaAlister]

Well said

[@JessieSmith-qi9mv]

100%

[@JessieSmith-qi9mv]

After Walsh, hes gonna be Captain i hope. He has that air about him, u know? Like a leader air. The way he talked to the interviewer, the way he lead his VFL team. I reckon he has what it needs to be a captain when he is much older. Like after Walshy makes Captian.

[@ShinyBlueBoots]

Very happy we picked Jagga, can't wait to see him play in the big lelague!

[@chainSaw-b2y]

Going into the draft I was hoping we got in no particular order either Lalor,jagga or Smillie so I’m happy let’s wait for his body to mature before we can judge him but he’s a good fit and should be able to keep up with the speed of AFL footy no problems..

[@Cheeseburglar-hm2]

Smillie is a dark horse not sure about top 3 I prefer jagga but yeah 3 future gun players for sure..

[@chainSaw-b2y]

@@Cheeseburglar-hm2 I’m happy I hope we don’t rush him,either 3 and I was good Lalor went at 1 ,Smillie at 7 we got jagga so it’s looking good from my point of view..

[@Ben_leonard750]

Very happy with the pick I feel like this was a win-win with anyone we selected. But your spot on at the end about the culture. It doesn’t matter how good a player is if you don’t put them in a position to Succeed they never will. Hopefully we can now become a club that take a bit of the Geelong mold and whoever we pick we can turn them into a good team player!

[@JessieSmith-qi9mv]

UP THE BAGGERS!

[@roccomoro8337]

Originally was hoping they’d go for Draper but from what I’ve seen and heard about Jagga there’s no doubt the club has made the right decision,will look good in either number 7 or 21 and become another Carlton great.Good to see your mic is working today Terry btw,go blues💙

[@Ita-tony]

He looks good, in his highlights. Looks , like quick minded,( instinctive), he is agile on his feet,( got the Jagger moves), looks like he has enough speed, and can be the linking catalyst to break the lines quickly to get the ball forward,and catch the opposition off guard. Good choice, it's what we're lacking around Cripps, at the stoppages...... Coaches, please coach him to his strengths, to make him flourish. Go Blues.... Go Bluejagga...

[@LomuHabana]

What makes me optimistic about him is that his main weakness is his size. That’s the best weakness a drafted player can have. Because that is something that can be improved rather easily. And that greatly impacts his burst and kick penetration.

[@EthanJ1005]

No matter who we picked it would’ve been amazing given the talent in this draft, with that being said, man he is good.

[@Aiden.i]

he does play like butters abit, his agility is similar to daicos as well. we have a star, future captain.

[@Peter-i1y]

Great centre of gravity ball magnet speed good ball efficiency. Knock he is very slight will get monstered in AFL midfield . Time time !!

[@vincentrungo40]

Good young player. Will add to efficiency of outside runners Walsh, Cera etc. Glad Hewit is there to be back up bull for Crippa, though.

[@SandyFalcone-ql2ze]

Great pick up for many reasons. First, he’s a quality prospect based on his recent CV. He has ability in getting the pill and disposal, leadership and high IQ. Second, he should enhance our midfield and increase the pressure on spots and raise overall performance. Cerra and Hew may not be first picks very soon if they can’t perform consistently? There’s also Ben Campo, Lord, Lij, Mots, etc. knocking on the door.

[@domonicsheridan5347]

Looks like a great player rd 1 starter without the pressure to dominate just do his bit

[@ChristianSorace458]

Surprised by the choice but Austin hasn’t got it wrong yet. Very interested to see how he goes! Hopefully a good player for many years.

[@4whomittolz846]

He really is a scrawny little thing, but that's just like Crippa or Walshy on draft night. We'll get some good years of maximum grasshopper-like agility out of him, then with a few years of training he'll get some power into him.

[@JessieSmith-qi9mv]

Did u see some on the highlights tho? He took on some bigger guys and still won the contest, i think someone needs to remind him he's not as big as them. lol. Super happy we got him, although i got to say IM GONNA MISS OWIES!

[@christophermurrell7337]

He needs to play round 1!!!!!

[@Equality-7-2521]

Welcome to Carlton, Jagga Smith. If you're going to be like Zak Butters, tighten that loose screw, please.

gonna be a superstar

[@brentgrant7124]

Hey mate just letting you know that the interviewer was Sarah Olle not Nat Edwards

[@BlueAbroad]

Whoops 😂

[@CraigAMcDonough]

His play style is in the there getting the ball, like Crippa and we have to come to terms with the fact that Crippa won't be around forever. 4 years? By then Jagga will have been hitting his straps and moving toward 50 -60+ games.

[@hame1965]

Had a year off and avoided the gym and kfc like the plague 😂😂😂 Hopefully The lord can show him we’re the Carlton weights are and help him put some muscle on Iike Lord has done

[@gezimnexhipi4905]

[@COVIDPLAYSOFTHEWEEK12345]

Jagga Smith has the lowest ceiling from anyone in the top 10 I’d be absolutely shattered if I was a blue bagger rn.

He's still ten times the footballer you ever were or will be, champ. Jog on, nobody cares what you think.

[@gezimnexhipi4905]

this is a 10 15 year decision, not just next year etc

[@gezimnexhipi4905]

thats Sarah Ollie, not Nat

[@skillmeup53]

There is a bit of Campo 1995 about him.

[@Upthegutz]

Just worries me that his performances this year have been over inflated because he was a full time athlete playing against kids going through year 12. Top 5 mids are meant to impact teams straight away. Especially top teams that are lucky enough to get one. Ashcroft at the lions is proof of that. I hope his idol is his standard. He is a blue now. So I’ll love him

[@craigf7188]

He went to UNI mate

[@Upthegutz]

@ are you comparing 1st year uni to year 12?

[@Upthegutz]

@@craigf7188don’t get me wrong . He is definitely a fantastic young footballer. But when you give up so much for that Pick 3, I’m simply highlighting things I hope the club took into account. He can’t just be a good player for us. He must be an A grader because we gave up so much . But, he is a blue. So I’ll love him

[@Cheeseburglar-hm2]

@@Upthegutz bro 1 year at that age isn’t that big of a difference he’s born in January so should’ve been in year 12 you’re reading too much into nothing…Go Baggers 💙💙

[@Upthegutz]

@ my point has nothing to do with age. It had to do with the pressures of a year 12 year that he didn’t need to go through whilst the majority of the others selected around him did. I was only bringing up a point that I hoped the club considered. Simply starting a discussion. I hope I’m proven categorically wrong
