Revealing he has a background in Surf Lifesaving, the strong-bodied midfielder told SANFL Media’s Zac Milbank that he is an avid Carlton supporter, enjoying the likes of Patrick Cripps and Sam Walsh working through the centre square.

With Hannah Ewings poised to be the first Croweater taken at No.3 by Port Adelaide, Neill reveals who he thinks the Power may select with their second choice at No.7.

He also details some of the other talented SA U18 Championship winning players likely to be left on the board when the Crows pick first at No.43.
