AFL career
Smith was selected by the Carlton Football Club with pick 3 of the 2024 AFL draft.[6] Carlton, which rated him the best player of the draft, had traded up in the first round order to ensure it could secure him.[7] He received guernsey No. 7,[8] which was Smith’s number at Oakleigh. He had been impressive during the preseason and was expected to make a round 1 debut in his first session, before rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament in his first interclub practice match, making him likely to miss the entire 2025 season.[9]
