Adelaide

Dan Curtin

The highly-touted utility was forced to bide his time in his maiden season at the Crows, playing seven games after being taken with Pick 8 in the 2023 draft.

Curtin's size and frame see him feature on all lines, but Adelaide initially opted to play him in a defensive post, utilising his skills and aerial capabilities.

However, across the pre-season, reports have indicated a move into the midfield to add bulk and power to the Crow's on-ball cohort.

The talented youngster has all the attributes to play senior football and will be one Adelaide fans hope comes on quickly as the club looks to return to the finals for the first time since 2017.
