Adelaide mid-season draftee Hugo Hall-Kahan will make his AFL debut against Geelong at Adelaide Oval on Thursday night.

The Crows selected the 22-year-old with Pick No.10 in the Mid-Season Rookie Draft just seven days ago, after an impressive start to the 2026 campaign with VFL team Williamstown.

Standing at 188cm tall, Hall-Kahan made the switch from forward to running defender this season, averaging 27.7 disposals and 6.0 marks in his seven games for the Seagulls in 2026.

This is Hall-Kahan’s second stint on an AFL list, having spent 18 months at Sydney after being selected in the 2022 Mid-Season Rookie Draft.

Prior to joining the Crows, Hall-Kahan was studying Graphic Design and working in retail, while playing for Williamstown.

Hall-Kahan will become the 274th player to represent the Adelaide Football Club when he makes his debut in the blockbuster clash against the Cats.

The Crows take on Geelong in the third edition of SA Freeze at Adelaide Oval this Thursday night, with the first bounce at 7pm (ACST).
