Has Adelaideâs issues retaining interstate players at their club factored into their draft decision making?
The Crows took five players in Tuesday nightâs National Draft, four of which were local products.
This included top selection Riley Thilthorpe at pick two and draft bolter Luke Pedlar at pick 11.
Adelaide has been hit hard by the trade period in the last decade, with Phil Davis, Jack Gunston, Patrick Dangerfield, Jarryd Lyons, Jake Lever, Charlie Cameron, Mitch McGovern, Eddie Betts, Hugh Greenwood, Cam Ellis-Yolmen, Alex Keath, Kyle Hartigan, Brad Crouch, Rory Atkins and more departing the club.
