TWO-TIME premiership utility\u00a0Callum Ah Chee\u00a0will play for Adelaide next year, putting five weeks of limbo behind him in Friday’s Telstra AFL Pre-Season Draft.<\/p>\n
Ah Chee was the only selection in the PSD before six new faces were given chances at the top level among a raft of players being re-listed in the AFL Rookie Draft.<\/p>\n
>> WHO DID YOU PICK?\u00a0The rundown on every club’s 2025 draft haul<\/a> Ah Chee requested a move from Brisbane during the Continental Tyres AFL Trade Period but had to go the long way to the Crows after the two clubs failed to come to terms on a deal.<\/p>\n The 28-year-old did not nominate for the national draft, setting the financial terms for his five-year contract when he nominated for the PSD to reduce the chances of a rival swooping.<\/p>\n The West Australian gets to West Lakes with 169 games of experience at Gold Coast and Brisbane, included starring roles for the Lions in Grand Final wins over Sydney and Geelong.<\/p>\n As expected, the Swans re-listed veterans\u00a0Jake Lloyd\u00a0and\u00a0Dane Rampe\u00a0with its two selections in the rookie draft, as the Lions did with\u00a0Lincoln McCarthy, who is returning from a second straight knee reconstruction.<\/p>\n Patrick Said\u00a0(St Kilda),\u00a0Conor Stone\u00a0(GWS),\u00a0Ben Jepson\u00a0(Gold Coast),\u00a0Tyler Welsh\u00a0(Adelaide) and Geelong duo\u00a0George Stevens\u00a0and\u00a0Keighton Matofai-Forbes\u00a0were also added to the list of their existing clubs.<\/p>\n West Coast took local product\u00a0Fred Rodriguez\u00a0with the first selection, adding the MVP from WA’s under-18 team to its list.<\/p>\n Big-bodied midfielder\u00a0Ollie Greeves\u00a0found his way to Hawthorn after many were surprised to see him passed on in the national draft.<\/p>\n Oliver Greeves handballs during the Coates Talent League Grand Final between Eastern Ranges and Sandringham Dragons on September 20, 2025.
