Phil Walsh says he is “very happy” with Adelaide’s list strategy following the Club’s last-gasp move on the final day of AFL Trade Period.

The Crows swooped to secure Hawthorn duo Kyle Cheney and Luke Lowden along with picks No.43 and No.47 in next month’s National Draft meet in exchange for selections 31, 50 and 68.

Adelaide then consolidated its draft plan by swapping picks No.10 and No.47 for selections 14 and 35 from Geelong.

The Club left its move until the final minute of the 10-day exchange window, with the official paperwork lodged with just 40 seconds remaining until the close of trade.

While Walsh was pleased with the outcome, he said his coaching mantra has always been to develop from within.

“I’m very happy with what we’ve done,” Walsh said.

“I basically want to build this list through players we pick, but I’m also very happy with the two players that we’ve brought into the Club.

"The ingredients for this team (are) there - I personally don't think we don't need to add a lot of things."

Cheney, 25, joins the Crows after 41 games with both Melbourne and Hawthorn as a medium-sized defender.

23-year-old Lowden comes to West Lakes with one AFL appearance under his belt – a game where the 204cm ruckman booted three goals against West Coast. He also kicked two bags of four goals this year with Box Hill in the VFL.

Walsh said both men would fill an important role on Adelaide’s roster moving forward.

“Kyle Cheney does add to us in the defensive area of the game, and obviously we needed to get some support for Sam Jacobs in the ruck, and Luke does that for us.

“It’s not a big sexy trade you might say, but I’m very happy with what’s happened.”

“Right where we sit now, I’m very comfortable.”

With a strong team-oriented ethos and an eye for hard-working talent, Walsh said both Cheney and Lowden would fit in well under his tutelage.

"I'm a bit of a fan of Kyle Cheney so I've watched him from a bit of a distance this year," Walsh said.

“He’s got great character (and) he puts team first. He might not be the flashiest player, but he’s the sort of person that I want to bring in to the footy club.

“(And Luke’s) a left-handed ruckman, and that actually does change the dynamic for us – particularly in the centre square.

“He’s very athletic, and he can give us something up forward. I think he’s a talent that we are bringing into our group.”

Walsh said it was a “calculated decision” for the Club to shuffle its first two picks considering the Club’s overall draft strategy.

“I’ll back in my recruiting team,” he said.

“They tell me that the player they want to pick will still be there at No.14.”

The frantic finish at the trade table capped off a big day at West Lakes, with two-time premiership player Ryan O’Keefe and experienced assistant coach David Teague announced as the two newest additions to the Club’s coaching panel.

O’Keefe is set to begin his coaching career with Adelaide in a development role assisting midfield coach Scott Camporeale.

A revered player in his own right, O’Keefe comes to West Lakes with 286 games of experience with the Sydney Swans. He won a Norm Smith Medal as part of the Swans’ 2012 triumph, was named Bob Skilton Medallist in 2009 and earned All Australian honours in 2006.

“Ryan obviously comes from a great background and (has) been a fantastic player," Walsh said.

“I think his journey and his work ethic - we all know what his ex-club stands for - that’s going to be really exciting for our players.”

New Crows forward coach Teague also boasts outstanding on-field credentials.

Teague played 83 senior games with North Melbourne and Carlton, winning the Blues’ best and fairest award in 2004 alongside a Robert Rose Medal as the AFLPA’s most courageous player.

Teague’s coaching career began with Carlton at the helm of the Club’s VFL team, which he guided to two Grand Finals, before moving west to work alongside Walsh at the Eagles. He spent the 2014 season overseeing St Kilda’s backline.

“He’s looking for that next step in his career,” Walsh said of Teague.

“I think he’s got some of the skills to be a senior coach one day. As a backline player, and a guy who has coached the backs, sometimes those guys have got a lot to offer the forwards.”

“I think it’s a really exciting coaching panel.”
