Overview

• Smith held a low-key meeting last week at his Surf Coast home with AFL CEO Andrew Dillon, Geelong football boss Andrew Mackie and CEO Steve Hocking to discuss his conduct and role-model standing.
• Coach Chris Scott said Smith dominated the conversation, highlighting the meeting’s informal nature and the 24-year-old’s willingness to engage on his responsibilities.
• The talks addressed Smith’s social media post alluding to recreational drug use and the two fines he received for making an obscene gesture towards opposition supporters.
• After sitting out the Gold Coast win with hamstring tightness, Smith is set to return to the Cats’ lineup for the Saturday clash with Essendon at the MCG.
• The upcoming match will also see Chris Scott and his twin brother Brad reach a combined milestone of 1000 AFL games as players and coaches.
