Fremantle will unveil its second pick from last year’s National Draft with Hayden Crozier selected to make his AFL debut in Saturday’s important match against Adelaide at Patersons Stadium.
Eighteen-year-old Crozier, who was drafted with pick 20, has been in solid form for his WAFL club East Perth this season playing as a high forward.

The spring-heeled Victorian youngster has already developed a reputation for taking a spectacular mark following his screamer in the National Under 18’s carnival last year, coincidentally at the same venue he’ll make his debut at.
He was one of three changes to the team, with Jack Anthony back to provide another avenue in attack.
Garrick Ibbotson has also earned a recall after he was omitted for last Sunday’s Carlton Mid Derby.
The players to make way were ruckman Jon Griffin, defender Alex Silvagni and Jay van Berlo.
Griffin has been named as an emergency along with Nick Suban and Jayden Pitt.
The Crows, who regain key forward Taylor Walker from suspension, currently sit in the AFL’s top four and will present a massive challenge on Saturday.
