Adelaide finalised a trade to secure Melbourne premiership player Alex Neal-Bullen . Fresh from finishing third in Melbourne’s best-and-fairest in 2024, Neal-Bullen joined the Crows in exchange for a second round selection (currently Pick 28) in the 2024 National Draft. The South Australian returned home to play for the Club he grew up supporting as a kid, bringing with him a decade of AFL experience at the Demons. Neal-Bullen was drafted from Glenelg in 2014 and has played predominantly as a half-forward. Neal-Bullen instantly made an impact on field, as he lined up in all games during his first season at the Club in 2025. He extended his streak of consistency in 2026, missing only two games due to injury, and the birth of his second child.
