So which of out players will be knocked out thanks to a 'completely unusual and not at all part of a pattern' dirty attack?
Lachie Murphy to don the 23 and Port players fail to notice the difference between he and Rankine ??

AFL pre-season watch: Which players will play in different positions in 2025?​

Coaches love swinging the magnets around in pre-season, and we’ve had eyes at nearly every club’s sessions to get the word on who’s shaping up to change roles.

ADELAIDE

Dan Curtin

Used forward at the start of pre-season, the former No. 8 draft pick was used in the midfield during match sim on Monday. The 197cm tall was used as a big bodied midfielder last season and it looks like the Crows could again use him there in 2025.

Jake Soligo

Looks to have significantly improved his tank with some gut running impressing in particularly on Monday. Josh Rachele and Izak Rankine were also thrown through the midfield at times during match sim so the make-up of the Crows engine room will be one to watch.

Charlie Edwards

Drafted as a taller midfielder, Edwards was used at half-back for what appeared to be the Crows stronger defensive unit during match sim. He provided a nice contest at times and whether he stays in the backline is set to be something to monitor.

Tyler Welsh

The 18-year-old’s agility and turning circles are impressive for a bigger-bodied forward. Although Adelaide did not have a proper match simulation, it had full-oval drills and a couple of times Welsh’s ability to gather the ball at pace then create space for himself was noticeable.

Sid Draper

Draper and Welsh are not taking part in all drills, being eased in, but when the explosive midfielder is out there, he seems to be everywhere, such is his ground coverage and workrate.

Max Michalanney

One of the Crows players who appears noticeably stronger is third-year defender Michalanney. He was listed at 78kg when he was drafted in 2022 and played on both talls and smalls during his first two seasons. Coming off a fourth-placed best-and-fairest finish last campaign, Michalanney looked have added more muscle and seemed even better equipped to take on bigger forwards.

Didnt someone say here that there was a world where he COULD be delisted ??

Not happening.
Don’t let the truth get in the way of another quality Cromulant rant/dig at another poster.

If you were referring to my comment, you will find out that I said he was part of a group of players who could either be delisted or on the fringes of the best 22 within 3 years. He’s more likely in the latter group.

My opinion is that he may face a battle to keep a spot if the list is healthy? Given the way we’ve recruited lately. Is that really that far fetched?

Is he more likely to be delisted to say Jones. I doubt it. Jones ain’t it. You seem to think so though.
