Welsh, who began his career at West Adelaide, is out of contract and has indicated he wants to return to South Australia for family reasons. The Crows tried to lure him home last season but were unable to strike a trade with the Kangaroos. Scott's a very good player and we're certainly interested . . . The Kangaroos claim he is a required player but could be forced to seek a trade to avoid losing him in the pre-season draft where the Crows have the fourth selection.
Welsh is one of two former SA-based players seeking a return home.
Former South Adelaide utility Matthew Rogers, who has had a successful six-year stint with Richmond, is weighing up his options and is expected to decide his future by the end of the weekend. He is also being sought by the Crows and Power. Adelaide's search for a new big man to replace the retired David Pittman could take it to West Coast. All rights reserved.
