With the pre-season underway, AFL Media has predicted two Crows to be big improvers in 2018.

Charlie Cameron's move to the Brisbane Lions opens the door for talented youngster Wayne Milera to become a regular in the Crows' forward line. Milera – the 11th overall pick in the 2015 NAB AFL Draft – has shown glimpses of brilliance in his 24 games. Milera has the ability to make something out of nothing, can lock the ball in the forward line and also push up on to the wing. Look for the 20-year-old to have a breakout season. Curtly Hampton, 24, is over the ankle injury that cruelled his season and should slot into the Crows' midfield, or fill in at half-back for the injured Brodie Smith.
