Prized Fremantle recruit Luke Jackson and former skipper Nat Fyfe have impressed for the Dockers in their 11-point practice match loss to Adelaide in Perth.
Fyfe kicked three goals - including a 50m set shot late in the match - while Jackson was lively in the ruck and dangerous in stints up forward in Adelaide's 12.5 (77) to 10.6 (66) victory.
The Crows broke the game open with a five-goal burst in the third quarter, but the match was a closely-fought affair apart from that.
Fyfe was on song from the outset, taking a series of marks on the lead early in the match before kicking his first goal in the second quarter.
The two-time Brownlow medallist should have booted another before halftime, but his set shot from 35m out missed.
Fyfe nailed his second goal in the third quarter after a holding the ball decision was followed by a 50m penalty.
But he saved his best for last with a 50m set shot in the dying minutes of the match.
Jackson was also impressive, with his deft ruck taps giving his midfield silver-spoon service at times.
The premiership big man was also strong at ground level, with one of his intercepts in the first half resulting in a Fyfe mark in attack.
New Crows recruit Izak Rankine showed his class with two first-half goals - the second a clever snap over his shoulder.
And old bull Rory Sloane, playing his first game since tearing his ACL in round five last season, was embraced by teammates after booting a first-half major.
The Crows lost Josh Worrell to a hamstring injury.
In Port Adelaide's clash with West Coast at Mineral Resources Park, Power veteran Travis Boak was helped off the field by trainers in the first half after being collected by Jeremy McGovern as the Eagles defender flew for a mark.
Boak took the full brunt of McGovern's leg and looked ginger as he made his way off the field.
The Power went into halftime with a 6.8 (44) to 6.3 (39) lead.
Former Eagle Junior Rioli booted two first-half goals.
West Coast expressed their disappointment when Rioli sought a trade to Port at the end of last season.
But it seems as though Eagles players still have a soft spot for Rioli, with West Coast captain Luke Shuey giving his former teammate a hug before the match.
