Three AFL Academy squad members are training with the Crows this week.

South Australians Darcy Fogarty (Glenelg), Callum Coleman-Jones (Sturt) and Jordan Houlahan (Sturt), who are all eligible for next year’s draft, will spend two weeks at Adelaide over the pre-season as part of the Academy program.

Fogarty is a strong-marking tall forward with footy smarts and a neat set shot. Coleman-Jones is shaping as one of the best ruckmen in the 2017 draft, while Houlahan is a medium-sized forward who is an excellent mark for his size.

Jackson Edwards will also spend time at the Club where his father Tyson played 321 games. A left-footed midfielder, Edwards plays alongside Fogarty at the Bays and is eligible to be selected by the Crows as a father-son recruit in 2017. 

Adelaide welcomed its first-ever father-son selection last month, picking Ben Jarman – son of Darren – in the Rookie Draft. Ben and Jackson are cousins (Darren's wife Sue is the sister of Mandy Edwards, who's married to Tyson.)

The Crows recruited two members of this year's AFL Academy squad in the National Draft, picking onballer Jordan Gallucci and Myles Poholke.
