Adelaide players have been back at training nearly a month following their off-season break with several catching the eye of AFL Media:

Established gun: Veteran Bryce Gibbs has been training like a player with a point to prove. In and out of the side several times last season, the 30-year-old is intent on making a strong impression under new senior coach Matthew Nicks, whether that's playing in the midfield or across half-back next year.

Gen next: After playing eight games in his debut season, 19-year-old Chayce Jones is set to take another step up next year. Jones won the club's 2km time trial in November despite putting on a few kilograms of muscle during the off-season. Likely to start across half-forward, but most exciting as a midfielder.

New faces: Ruck/forward Billy Frampton has made every post a winner since joining the Crows in search of more senior opportunities. Played more as a key forward at Port Adelaide, the Crows believe 200cm Frampton can be a genuine ruck option with his leaping ability and competitiveness in the middle, but he's also more than capable of taking contested marks inside 50 and is a great set shot for goal.
