With the 2020 Toyota AFL Premiership season about to blast off, AFL Media's experts have put their selectors' hats on to pick the Crows' Round One team.
Who's in, who's out, who's injured, who's unlucky? Did we get it right? Check it out.
ADELAIDE
Adelaide v Sydney - Saturday, March 21 - 4.05pm ACDT
B: Jake Kelly, Daniel Talia, Rory Laird
HB: Luke Brown, Fischer McAsey, Wayne Milera
C: Paul Seedsman, Brad Crouch, Rory Atkins
HF: Tom Lynch, Taylor Walker, Ben Davis
F: Tyson Stengle, Darcy Fogarty, Lachlan Murphy
Foll: Reilly O'Brien, Matt Crouch, Rory Sloane
I/C: Bryce Gibbs, Elliott Himmelberg, Chayce Jones, Brodie Smith
EMERG: Ben Crocker, Billy Frampton, David Mackay, Myles Poholke
NEW: Fischer McAsey
UNAVAILABLE: Tom Doedee (knee), Riley Knight (Achilles)
NOTES: Defender Doedee is the only notable absentee from the Crows' best 22. Doedee is an outside chance of being available, but it would be very unlikely he would slot straight back into the side in his comeback from a torn ACL. McAsey – last year's No.6 overall draft pick – all but locked in his spot with a strong showing against Gold Coast last week. Tall forward Himmelberg comes into the side to give another marking target, while also acting as the back-up for ruck O'Brien. The departures of experienced campaigners Eddie Betts, Josh Jenkins, Hugh Greenwood, Alex Keath, Cam Ellis-Yolmen and Sam Jacobs has opened the door for the likes of Davis, Stengle and Fogarty to get more opportunities.
