Live blog: Andrew Capel looks at how Crows, Power will line up in 2016

THE Power and Crows will go into the 2016 seasons looking very different than they did at the end of 2015. Join Andrew Capel from 12.30pm to discuss the SA teams’ trading exploits and examine their best teams.

ADELAIDE and Port Adelaide will go into the 2016 season looking very different than they did at the end of 2015.

The Power will have imposing Charlie Dixon anchoring an impressive forward line, with Jimmy Toumpas providing extra run.

Their addition has caught the attention of punters, with the Power at $7 for next year’s flag.

The Crows are at $21.

Meanwhile, Adelaide will give its own attacking line-up a boost with the addition of goalsneak Troy Menzel. It also will have extra dash from defence with Paul Seedsman and Curtly Hampton coming on board.

Obviously, both sides will like their chances of kicking a winning score if the ball can be forced into the forward line enough.

The big debate will be how the teams finally shape up.

Here’s how Andrew Capel sees the Crows lining up for the first round.
