Adelaide Crows at a glance for the 2020 AFL season.

ADELAIDE

Coach: Matthew Nicks

Captain: Rory Sloane

Last five years: 11-12-2-6-6

Premierships: 2 (1997, 1998)

Key five: Rory Sloane, Reilly O'Brien, Daniel Talia, Rory Laird, Taylor Walker

One to watch: Chayce Jones. The Tasmanian played eight games in his debut season last year and is now trumpeted as offering much-needed speed in a largely pedestrian midfield. Has pace, a penchant for tackling, is highly-skilled and is courageous - all the tools of the trade to become a top-line onballer.

Ins: Ben Crocker (Collingwood), Billy Frampton (Port Adelaide), Lachlan Gollant (Calder U18), Ben Keays (Brisbane Lions), Fischer McAsey (Sandringham U18), Ronin O'Connor (Claremont), Harry Schoenberg (Woodville-West Torrens), Josh Worrell (Sandringham U18).

Outs: Eddie Betts (Carlton), Richard Douglas (delisted), Cam Ellis-Yolmen (Brisbane Lions), Hugh Greenwood (Gold Coast), Sam Jacobs (GWS), Josh Jenkins (Geelong), Alex Keath (Western Bulldogs), Andy Otten (retired).

Best line-up:

B: Luke Brown, Daniel Talia, Jake Kelly

HB: Rory Laird, Tom Doedee, Wayne Milera

C: Brodie Smith, Matt Crouch, Paul Seedsman

HF: Tom Lynch, Taylor Walker, Chayce Jones

F: Tyson Stengle, Darcy Fogarty, Elliott Himmelberg

R: Reilly O'Brien, Brad Crouch, Rory Sloane

I: Bryce Gibbs, Rory Atkins, Ned McHenry, David Mackay

Predicted finish: 14th
