‘With confidence’: Crows recruit named for AFL debut

The stars have aligned for Adelaide’s mid-season recruit Hugo Hall-Kahan, who will finally make his AFL debut on Thursday night against Geelong.

The Crows picked Hall-Kahan in last week’s rookie draft. The 22-year-old defender had previously been on Sydney’s list, also recruited by them in the 2022 mid-season draft.

Adelaide did not expect Hall-Kahan to play in the AFL so soon, but Isaac Cumming’s hamstring injury at training on Monday night has paved the way.

Crows football boss Adam Kelly said Hall-Kahan had made an immediate impression at the club and deserved his selection for the Adelaide Oval clash.
