Clay Smith arrived in 2012 and retired at the end of 2017 - 6 seasons for 55 games and 43 goals. But numbers are totally inadequate to describe the grit, conviction and determination that this steely character brought to the table. Four goals on debut, three knee reconstructions and yet he still managed to play his finest football in the 2016 Finals campaign.

He was there in pivotal moments. Boring in, refusing to concede, willing himself to every contest, clearing a path for Caleb Daniel's crucial goal late in the 3rd quarter against GWS. This on top of his four first half goals. Clay Smith - a Bulldog immortal.
