Joel Smith, a prominent figure in the Melbourne Football Club, has made a name for himself in Australian rules football. Born on February 25, 1996, Joel stands tall at 1.91 meters and weighs in at 90 kilograms. His position as a defender showcases his prowess on the field, primarily on the half-back flank.

In 2015, Joel's talent was recognized when he was recruited by Melbourne as a category B rookie. His dedication and hard work paid off when he made his AFL debut in the opening round of the 2017 season, marking the beginning of a promising career in the league. With a bright future ahead of him, Joel Smith continues to impress fans and critics alike with his skills and commitment to the game.
