Why is Adelaide’s AFL drafting record under scrutiny?

David King 0:00

It's another botched draft pick at the Crows, isn't it? But they're their their drafting really needs to now be put under the spotlight. Going right back to Jordan Gallucci, going to Fisher McKassie, I'm not certain about Sid Draper. I'm more confident in Dan Curtin, but I'm not a hundred percent sold he's gonna be a star yet. Luke Pedler was pick eleven eleven. Chase Jones is gone. He was a first round pick from uh a number of years ago, should be In the absolute prime of his career and what was a good draft, Adelaide's drafting has been poor, absolutely poor. And uh this is another um piece of evidence as to that. Now Luke Peddler may become a good player and I don't think it's all on Adelaide's fault.

Was Luke Pedlar a risky draft pick for the Crows?

David King 0:47

He has not been able to get himself fit enough and there's been injury concerns, but he was a stretch when they drafted him. I remember they drafted him out of Glonelg. He certainly wasn't projected to go as high as what he did in that draft. They took a risk on him and I don't know why they picked him so early, but they did and it it hasn't wor he's he's played he's had some good AFL moments. But he's a nine possession small forward who has really struggled to consistently be good enough to perform at the level.

Sam Edmund 1:16

So Mitchell Marsh, their first pick last year.

How have Adelaide’s recent first-round draft picks performed?

Sam Edmund 1:19

You mentioned Sid Draper, their first pick before that. Then your man Dan Curtin, then Max Michael Annie was a solid player. Then you're going back to the sun. Yeah. Uh Josh Rashelli at pick six uh in the same year as Jake Saligo and Zach Taylor joined. That was twenty twenty-one. So and then the Phil Seeker, your man, uh their first pick at pick two the year prior to that. So there's some good players in there. But yeah, a few bus along the way as well.

Which Adelaide draft picks became hits or misses?

Sam Edmund 1:43

Well

David King 1:44

wanna hit and pick two. They bit on Jamar Ugal Hagen, of course, first before they got the fill seeker. Rachelli, good player. Dodge that bullet. Rochelle good player and you'd want to you'd want to make sure you get that right at six. Sid Draper's a watch.

Can Sid Draper succeed, and are the Crows under pressure at the draft?

David King 1:57

Small midfielder who has some injury concerns. Uh so we'll we'll see. We'll see. But um I I just think they haven't been good enough at the draft and and they are under pressure to get this right.
