Number one pick Aaron Cadman will make his AFL debut on Sunday against the Hawks in Gather Round.  

19-year-old Cadman will make his debut in front of family and friends at Norwood Oval with GIANTS fans getting their first opportunity to see the key forward at AFL level.

The GIANTS traded up to secure the number one pick in the most recent Draft to pick Cadman, who is strong overhead and an excellent kick for goal. 

He kicked four goals over the opening two rounds of the VFL after kicking six goals in a VFL practice match the week prior.

GIANTS coach Adam Kingsley welcomed Cadman’s inclusion.

“We know it’s been a waiting game for Aaron who has been incredibly close to selection multiple times,” Kingsley said.

“We’ve been really impressed with what we’ve seen from ‘Cads’ over the pre-season and opening rounds of the VFL and have full confidence he’ll come in and play his role for the side on Sunday.

“He’s come into our club with a great attitude, he’s worked hard and is so eager to learn and these are all traits that will set him up for a long career at AFL level.

“It’s a really exciting time for him and we can’t to have him run out as part of our side to take on the Hawks.”

The GIANTS take on Hawthorn at 2:50pm CST/3:20pm EST on Sunday at Norwood Oval.
