Adelaide are heading towards a rebuild that will see the club start from just about rock bottom.
The Crows have already been informed that midfielder Rory Atkins likely won't be at the club next year as he explores free agency and there are questions over what other senior players will join him.
Former Adelaide assistant coach Scott Camporeale spoke about what he thinks the Crows need to do to begin their rebuild the right way.
Camporeale believes the Crows should consider trading free agent Kyle Hartigan and delist at least four players this off-season.
โI think Kyleโs one who has potentially got some value where they can move a key defender on. With McAsey coming in and Butts coming through as a key defender as well, theyโve also got Daniel Talia for another 12 months,โ Camporeale said onย ABC Grandstand.
โHartiganโs the one, he played really well against (Tom) Hawkins and still has some value.
โI think heโs looking for a two or three-year deal at his age, if you talk about in the (premiership) window, heโs 28, his body hasnโt really been sound for two years, do they just go โletโs see if we get some value and clear some cap space moving forwardโ.โ
Camporeale said he would move on Riley Knight, David Mackay, Patrick Wilson and Jordan Galluci.
Former skipper Taylor Walker has struggled for form for the best part of two years now and could also be on the chopping block.
Fox Footy expert Leigh Montagna believes 'Tex' still has some good footy left in him.
โI still think Tex Walker has got a year or two of good footy left in him. I just think heโs been left playing a role that doesnโt suit his style of football,โ he said.
โHe for me is the perfect third tall forward, heโs that lead up half forward flank whoโs a beautiful user, can set up goals. I still think he has a role to play at another club.
โThe two clubs that jump to my mind at this point are Brisbane and the Gold Coast Suns. I think someone like Gold Coast, who have already got Ben King who we know is going to be a star. Theyโve been using Sam Day whoโs been really good this year. Maybe Tex Walker with his leadership and experience, something a bit different as an avenue to goal.
โOr Brisbane Lions if theyโre trying to win that flag with the two young key forwards theyโve got.โ
