AFL Media ask the questions the Crows will need to answer before the home and away season commences.

Can Tom Doedee emerge as Jake Lever's replacement?

The Crows are bullish about Doedee's potential heading into his third season on their list. A first-round pick in the 2015 draft, Doedee was the leading intercept marker in the SANFL last year. He showed promising signs in the Adelaide AFLX tournament and looks to be the leading candidate to replace Lever. The Crows could also turn to experienced duo Kyle Cheney and Andy Otten.

What impact will Bryce Gibbs have in the Crows' midfield?

The former Carlton star should add plenty of class to the Crows engine room. He's looked in ripping nick during the pre-season and should feature in both JLT Community Series games. The Crows might also try Gibbs across half-back as they look to lock down a replacement for the injured Brodie Smith. But Gibbs will provide his biggest value to the team in the midfield.

Who pushes their case to replace the injured Brodie Smith at half-back?

Coach Don Pyke has several options at his disposal. The experienced David Mackay filled in during the finals last year, while Paul Seedsman can break the lines after missing most of last season. Curtly Hampton was tried in the midfield in 2017 before an ankle injury ended his season, but he's played across half-back previously.
