ADELAIDE used its top selection, Pick No.14, in today's rookie draft to recruit mature-age Victorian defender Kyle Hartigan.

The 21-year-old has spent the past three seasons with Werribee in the VFL and was part of the inaugural AFL Victoria Academy.

Hartigan is listed on Werribee's website as standing 193cm and weighing 89kg and played TAC Cup with the Western Jets.

He is an AIS-AFL Academy graduate who represented Victoria Metro in the 2009 national championships but has been overlooked in previous drafts.

The Crows then officially welcomed basketballers Jack Osborn (Pick No.40) and Tim Klaosen (No.47) to West Lakes after the duo spent the past month training at West Lakes.

Earlier, the Crows used their sole pre-season draft pick (No.10) to re-draft Nick Joyce who was delisted in the wake of the Kurt Tippett saga. Tippett got his wish by joining Sydney the very next pick at No.11.

As promised at Alberton, Port Adelaide snapped up local product Sam Colquhoun by taking the Central District midfielder with Pick No.3 in the pre-season draft.

Colquhoun was a state under-18 representative and considered unlucky not to have been selected in last month's National Draft.

The Power used its first pick in the rookie draft to take mature-age Claremont midfielder Kane Mitchell who won this year's Sandover Medal as the WAFL's best player.

It also selected Port Adelaide Magpies defender Justin Hoskin from its own backyard with Pick No.20.
