Jackson Hately joined the Adelaide Crows in the off season as another of the stream of highly-rated young GWS midfielders starved of opportunity who had to ply their craft at other clubs. He has had to watch from the sidelines as the far less credentialled Ben Keays has cemented his spot in the Crows engine room after transferring from Brisbane under similar circumstances. Perhaps an injury-affected preparation can be blamed for that, but another injury to Rory Sloane opens the door for a late-season surge for the ex-Giant, which has interesting fantasy implications.
