Not by choice it looks like they are going to have to go down the 'total' youth path with a few more leaving through free agency.
Will be interesting to see if they look to trade in some more experience types to compliment the draft picks. Personally I think there is too much historic evidence to show the dangers of trying to solely rely on high draft picks with no mature A grade support around them.
Will also be interesting to see how the Crows fans react to a sustained period in the bottom half of the table which they have never really experienced a lot.
Adelaide don't have many of them in their list right now. First round picks :
2019 - McAsey
2018 - Jones, McHenry
2017 - Fogarty
2016 - Gallucci
2015 - Milera, Doedee
Of these you can call Milera and Doedee a success, the others are either work in progress ( McAsey, Fogarty ) or on the border line over the next 12 months ( Jones, McHenry ) or on their last chance ( Gallucci ).
They are going to have to get some seriously good football from their established players and hope like hell that some of the additions ( Keays, McAdam, Frampton ) really stand up and develop. If not, long road ahead. Really long road.
What you can now be sure of is the likes of Mackay and Walker will be going around again, regardless of list sizes. They have too.
PAFC. Forever.
LOOK OUT, WE'RE COMING!
