(West Adelaide), 4 March 1987, 204cm, 89kg
This is where this year's Draft gets interesting and where The Phantom Draft could go pear-shaped. Adelaide faces the dilemma of going for a ruckman, a midfielder or a Victorian. The three players in the mix are Wood, Sturt midfielder Angus Monfries and Eastern Ranges' forward/defender Matthew Bate. All three players are under the microscope for the Crows and it is likely to come down to the two South Australians - Wood and Monfries. Both loom as irresistible prospects, but the fact that some astute judges have 'crystal-balled' Wood as potentially the best ruckman in the game, while looking several years down the track, is something the Crows will find hard to refuse. Although Monfries has been likened to Port Adelaide premiership player Kane Cornes, the fact that incumbent Adelaide ruckman Matthew Clarke is set to be gearing up for his final season in 2005, could sway the Crows in selecting Wood. He is mobile, has good disposal skills for his size and is quick with his hands. An AIS/AFL graduate, he also played seniors with West Adelaide in the SANFL this year, while he was named All-Australian after representing South Australia at the 2004 National Bank's AFL under-18 championships. It is sure to be a fascinating pick. Wood is a former baseballer, who was in the Australian squad in 2003. He also had an offer to try out with the Atlanta Braves.

He is, he's been crippled by having to do too much too young.
