5 time premiership player
Guess Adelaide didn’t get the memo when they had pick 1Highly unlikely that he gets bid on at 1 even if he's the best player. Clubs want to show their first draft pick that they rated him as the best player not a consolation prize. Also the number #1 pick gets a $10k or $20k NAB portfolio so the club chosing first doesn't want that to go to a player from another club.
Also worth remembering that you can trade draft picks from 2 years in advance by then.
