Adelaide remains undecided on which name they’ll call out with the prized No.1 selection at next week’s AFL draft.
The impact of COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on recruiting teams nationwide, but the Crows are comfortable taking their time before landing on a preferred option.
“We haven’t made a decision yet as we’re still waiting on some more medical information,” Crows national recruiting manager Hamish Ogilvie told AFC Media.
“We’re down to four and we won’t make a decision until we’ve got all the information in case there’s something in there, but it’s pretty routine information required.
“It’s just a bit later than normal because of the constraints that everyone’s had this year with medical testing, combine testing, location, travel, doctors not having access to put their hands on the players, so that just made it more difficult and took more time.”
Among the quartet of players under consideration is highly regarded Western Bulldogs Next Generation Academy prospect Jamarra Ugle-Hagan.
Crows senior coach Matthew Nicks indicated the Club would not hesitate in bidding on Ugle-Hagan if he sits atop their final talent order.
"We'll pick the best player we believe that's in the draft," Nicks said on Melbourne radio on Wednesday morning.
"If that's Ugle-Hagan – because he is a super-talented footballer – then that's where I guess a bid will come on him because we believe he should be No.1 in the draft.
"We're not going to go out of our way to pick a young kid who's not that and risk not getting the best player in the draft."
If the Crows do bid on Ugle-Hagan – and the Western Bulldogs match, as expected – Adelaide’s selection will slide to No.2.
The Crows could then opt for local product Riley Thilthorpe, West Australian key forward Logan McDonald or Vic Country midfielder Elijah Hollands.
The 2020 AFL Draft will take place on Wednesday, December 9.
