Bio
Conrad Blackwell-Smith is a hard-working inside midfielder tied to the Sydney Swans Academy. The Manly Warringah Wolves product progressed through the New South Wales pathway to earn a VFL debut for the Swans late in his draft year. He was a consistent standout in the Summer Series for the Academy, racking up plenty of the ball to earn a call-up to the Allies squad for the National Championships. At the carnival, he showed his capacity against the best prospects in the country and was named among his team's best players for a strong midfield performance against Victoria Metro.
Described by scouts as a workhorse at the stoppages, Blackwell-Smith wills himself to strong possession tallies and thrives on winning the contested ball. His game is built around feeding the footy out with quick hands to outside runners. As a member of the Sydney Swans Academy, the club is expected to match any rival bid for him. He has shown enough ball-winning ability and physical presence at the coalface to be considered a viable draft option, with Sydney likely to monitor him closely as a potential late or rookie selection.
