Former Adelaide recruiter explained who the Crows should recruit with pick 1 on the Rush Hour with Bernie and Jars today.
LISTEN HERE:
"I think you’ve gotta go the local [Riley Thilthorpe]," Rendell said.
"I mean 200cm mobile key forward-cum-ruckman don’t come across your desk too often.
"By all reporters he’s a ripping kid. The only downside I’ve heard from him is that he overtrains.
"Well I’ll tell you what, I’d rather have a kid come into the system that overtrains and you can pull them back than trying to get some lazy kid to do more work!
"Is he the best player? [Jamarra] Ugle-Hagan (tied to the Bulldogs) is probably the best player.
"Is he the second best player? Probably not this year, you’d say Logan McDonald, but there’s not a lot between Logan McDonald, Riley Thilthorpe and probably Denver Grainger-Barras.
"You have to go for the local, it just makes a lot of sense."
