A couple of Crows draftees could get their first look at AFL football in the JLT Community Series.

Midfield pair Jordan Gallucci and Myles Poholke have completed the most training of Adelaide’s first year players, who also include Elliott Himmelberg, Matt Signorello, Ben Davis and rookie Ben Jarman.

Himmelberg, Signorello, Davis and Jarman arrived at the Club with pre-existing injuries, but are now joining in drills with the main group.

Midfield coach Scott Camporeale, who has worked more closely with Gallucci, Poholke and promising clearance winner Signorello, said the trio had adapted well to the elite environment.

“A lot of the draftees haven’t played senior footy yet, so when they come up against some mature-age guys on the track they certainly notice the difference. The speed and the skill level obviously goes up as well,” Camporeale said.

“It’s been a bit of an eye-opener for Jordy, Myles and the guys who have been able to get involved in more (competitive) training. But it’s great experience for them and they’ve adapted quickly.”

Gallucci and Poholke, in particular, are likely to be in the mix for selection in the pre-season competition along with a host of inexperienced Crows.

Exciting utility Curtly Hampton, who endured an interrupted first year at Adelaide after switching from Greater Western Sydney, will be hoping to represent the Club at the top level for the first time.

First-round draft pick Tom Doedee is also building towards his senior debut, while rookies Jono Beech, Hugh Greenwood, Paul Hunter and Alex Keath are also yet to pull on an AFL jumper.

Onballer Harrison Wigg and forward Troy Menzel, who have both played one pre-season match for the Crows, will also be hoping to add to their game time.

Camporeale said he would love to see some of the first-year players in action when Adelaide kicks off its campaign against Richmond at Etihad Stadium on Friday, February 24.

“We’ve got three (pre-season) games and we’ll also have an eye on Round One, so preparation is important,” he said.

“I have no doubt that one or two of those guys (draftees) will be putting their hands up for the pre-season comp. We’re all really excited to see how they go.”

Like many of his teammates, Gallucci has spent time training in multiple positions this summer.

“I’ve done bits and pieces with the midfield, but I’ve also been down back and up forward,” he said.

“I’m just trying to find my feet somewhere at the moment. The midfield group have really gotten around us, helping with the structures and skills we need to perform.

“Richie Douglas has been really good for me personally.”

A meticulous preparer, Gallucci is revelling in a full-time football environment.

The line-breaking ball winner said he was enjoying the increased demands on the draftees since Christmas.

“The past couple of months have gone like lightning,” he said.

“At the start, we were just doing laps around the oval trying to get the conditioning in, so we could be up to the standard. Now, we’re getting into the contested stuff.

“The strength and conditioning guys really look after us and make sure we’re not doing too much.

“We’re always eager to get out there, so maybe we do a little bit too much at times!”
