ADELAIDE skipper Taylor Walker missed Monday's open training session at Football Park, but the key forward isn't in any doubt for the JLT Community Series.
Walker was a notable absentee as the Crows trained in front of a couple of thousand supporters.
The 27-year-old key forward is on a modified program as he recovers from post-season ankle surgery.
Midfielders Brad Crouch and Hugh Greenwood completed the first half of the session with the main group before reverting to modified running programs.
The Crows are taking a cautious approach with Crouch given his history of hamstring injuries, but there are no concerns that he is going to miss any football.
Greenwood had Achilles surgery in November last year, but is also expected to be available for the start of the season.
Half-back flanker Brodie Smith – who is recovering from a torn ACL – is the only player on the Crows' list who has been ruled out for round one.
Mitch McGovern, Kyle Cheney, and Ben Jarman ran laps away from the main group near the end of the session.
The Crows finished the training session with a 10-a-side game played inside a rectangular field to get them ready for AFLX.
The open training session doubled as the season launch for the Crows' AFL and AFLW teams.
The Crows' AFL side is aiming to go one better after getting beat by Richmond in the Grand Final.
Crows coach Don Pyke said the tean had spent the summer working on improving all facets of their game.
"Last year, we played some really powerful footy and unfortunately we didn't finish off the season as we wanted to," Pyke said on stage.
"That disappointment has driven us through our training and (we're) now looking forward to the season.
"We're very confident of how our (game) style will stand up and how it stood up for a large part of last season.
"We'll keep adding to it, but the fundamental belief of playing the attacking style will continue because that's my philosophy as a team."
As part of their preparation, the Crows will head to the Gold Coast for a pre-season training camp.
It's their first pre-season camp in seven years, but they spent a few days at the Glitter Strip before the finals last season.
Fan favourite Eddie Betts received the biggest cheers from the Crows supporters, just ahead of star midfielder Rory Sloane.
There was also plenty of support for the Crows' women's team, who will be out to defend their AFLW premiership.
Crows coach Bec Goddard called for a sell-out crowd for the Grand Final rematch with Brisbane Lions at Norwood Oval on February 3.
It would be only the second full house in AFLW after the huge crowd that showed up for the inaugural game between Carlton and Collingwood last year.
"I'd love to have a lock-out in Adelaide and really stick it right up those Melbourne teams," Goddard said.
