Adelaide has named a strong line-up for Saturday’s Round One clash with Hawthorn at Adelaide Oval.

The Crows have its full contingent of senior leaders to take on the Hawks, including co-captains Taylor Walker and Rory Sloane who will lead the side together for the first time.

Brad Crouch will play his first AFL game since the 2017 grand final after missing all of last year through injury.

Crouch has gradually built his loads throughout the pre-season and averaged 30 disposals across the JLT Community Series.

The Crouch brothers were the top two ball winners on the field with Matt (32 disposals) and Brad (29) both busy in the midfield. Laird and Sloane both had 28 touches, Smith 27 #weflyasone — Adelaide Crows (@Adelaide_FC) March 2, 2019

The 25-year-old will provide additional grunt to the Crows’ engine room as he links up with brother Matt Crouch, Sloane and Bryce Gibbs for the first time.

After playing just two games in 2018, a fit and firing Brodie Smith has been named on the wing with emerging talent Wayne Milera Jnr on the opposite side of the centre square.

The Crows will have a debutant in their mix as speedster Chayce Jones pulls on the tricolours for the first time on Saturday.

Reilly O’Brien, Cameron Ellis-Yolmen, Andy Otten and Darcy Fogarty have been named as the emergencies.

The Round One clash starts at 4.05pm ACDT on Saturday with gates open from 1.45pm.
