Taylor Smith has stepped up after the late scratching of Brisbane Lions spearhead Dakota Davidson, booting a career-high four goals in a 47-point defeat of Western Bulldogs that left coach Craig Starcevich wanting more.
The former hurdler and heptathlete was a consistent marking threat and reliable kick as the Lions staved off an improved Bulldogs 11.15 (81) to 5.4 (34) on Wednesday.
