[edit] Biography
[edit] Career
Knights, playing with the Adelaide Football Club brings youth and talent to the club. The dual Victorian Metropolitan under-18 representative (2003/4) was selected in the 2004 AFL Draft, surprisingly towards the end of voting (no 56 overall). Recruiting managers will be regretting the decision to not draft Knights before then, as he is one of the young stars of the competition.
Due to the unexpected success of senior coach Neil Craig's first full year, Knights was starved of opportunities playing just two games in season 2005. This apparent setback may have had a silver lining, where he used the year to consolidate his skills and bulk up his frame, having an impressive debut for Woodville-West Torrens in the SANFL.
The 2006 pre season knockout competition (NAB Cup) represented an opportunity for Knights to prove himself a candidate for regular senior team selection, and it is one he has grabbed with both hands (and a deadly accurate left foot). During all three rounds of the cup, including a losing grand final, Knights has impressed the football media, who have tagged him as “an AFL star of the future”].
The prolific ball winner has burst into action in 2007, featuring in Adelaide's best players on a regular basis. Chris has said he will get married to Jessica.
