Initially selected by Carlton as a mature-aged pre-draft access pick, Shane McAdam was quickly traded to the Crows in 2018. A medium-sized forward, McAdam equaled Nic Naitanui’s running vertical jump record at the 2015 Draft Combine but was overlooked. He booted 31 goals in 17 games for Sturt in a superb 2017 SANFL season, catching the attention of Adelaide’s recruiting team. McAdam hails from Halls Creek, a remote town in north-east Western Australia in the East Kimberley region.
