Josh Rachele and Jake Soligo will make their AFL debuts in Adelaide's Round One clash with Fremantle on Sunday.

Rachele and Soligo joined the Crows via the 2021 AFL National Draft and impressed senior coach Matthew Nicks throughout preseason.

Sydney recruit Jordan Dawson will make his Adelaide debut after overcoming a calf injury.

"Pretty exciting time of year, especially when you announce guys playing their first games for the footy club," assistant coach Nathan van Berlo said.

"It’s great for Daws and the two draftees. They havent put a foot wrong all preseason.

"We’ve seen glimpses every training session, they've got an element of poise about them.

"They’re a massive part of our future moving forward."

2021 injured trio Matt Crouch, Wayne Milera and Mitch Hinge have also been named to play.
