Adelaide has nominated Ben Jarman as a potential father-son recruit at the AFL draft.
The 18-year-old son of two-time Crows premiership player Darren Jarman was eligible to be nominated as a father-son player by Adelaide and Hawthorn because Darren played more than 100 games for both clubs.
Crows General Manager of List Management and Strategy Justin Reid said the nomination was only one part of the process and it was too early to confirm draft selections.
“There are no guarantees for us or Ben,” Reid said.
“We will be true to our talent order and there is still plenty of work to be done between now and the national draft (on November 25).
“We will see how the draft selections fall compared to our list of available talent.
“Ben has been finishing Year 12 so we have respected that and kept some distance but the nomination needed to be lodged today and we are pleased to have done that.”
The small forward and midfielder played for SANFL club North Adelaide this season and also represented South Australia in the National Under 18 Championships.
Ben’s uncle Andrew Jarman also played for the Crows, from 1991-96.
