Adelaide

Game 1: v Melbourne at Casey Fields (4.40pm AEDT, Saturday, February 22)
Game 2: v Gold Coast at Flinders University Stadium, Noarlunga Downs (4.20pm ACDT, Friday, March 6)

Players to watch
Chayce Jones: The Tasmanian speedster has been one of the stars on the track over the summer. Has added size and should get more time through the midfield in his second season.
Fischer McAsey: The sixth overall pick in last year's NAB AFL Draft has been turning heads during pre-season training with his intercept marking. The key defender could play in the early rounds.
Tyson Stengle: Kicked five goals in the club's intraclub game last weekend to put himself in the box seat for a small forward role. Only played two senior games last season, but the frontrunner to take the spot vacated by Eddie Betts.

What's new
First-year senior coach Matthew Nicks has implemented a new gameplan with a big focus on team defence. Where veteran Bryce Gibbs fits into the side, playing predominantly across half-back, is worth noting. Defender Tom Doedee is back after missing most of last season with a torn ACL, while recruits Billy Frampton (Port Adelaide), Ben Crocker (Collingwood) and Ben Keays (Brisbane), the latter two picked up through the rookie draft, will be keen to make a mark at their new club. 

Missing
The Crows should have almost a full list to choose from. Doedee might be held out of the first game as he ticks the final boxes in his return from a torn ACL. Kyle Hartigan had minor ankle surgery in January, but should play at least one game. - Lee Gaskin
