Some of the relevant answers:

[In Reply To: do you see there being any opportunities for Angus Graham to play at AFL level this season?]
AFL ‏@AFL  57m
.@amykins83 Yes, he's had a really solid pre-season and will provide great back-up for Sauce #askthecoach



[In Reply To: Hi Brenton, where is Cam Ellis-Yolmen at? Do you see him playing senior football this year?]
AFL ‏@AFL  57m
.@JRickard1991 Yes, he'll play plenty of AFL football this year and for us long term. #askthecoach



[In Reply To: What do you think the difference Adelaide Oval will bring to the Adelaide footy club?]
AFL ‏@AFL  57m
.@James__McRae We'll only train their twice before we first play, but we're looking to quickly make it a great new home ground for us.



[In Reply To: What kind of role will Wright play this season? Mid? Fwd? Tag? Cheers coach. #askthecoach]
AFL ‏@AFL  57m
.@Ricobird1 Wrighty will play a variety of roles for us, but has a had a great summer, and looks set for a big season. #askthecoach



[In Reply To: Brodie Martin, with the injuries you have can he cement a spot?]
AFL ‏@AFL  56m
.@Slaternator Definitely. He's a player who's had injuries himself earlier in his career, but if things go to plan, will have a good season.



[In Reply To: what are the chances of both crouch brothers both being in the round 1 team?]
AFL ‏@AFL  55m
.@AFCReddit Definitely a chance, but the midfield is such a competitive area for us. Hopefully they play together for 10 years plus.



[In Reply To: Sam Shaw has looked great in the #NABChallenge so far. Will he get games early in the year?]
AFL ‏@AFL  55m
.@AFLDreamers Sam's a really important player for us. Didn't play at all for us last year, but hopefully can recapture his 2012 form.



[In Reply To: Who are some of the young players we can expect to see in 2014?]
AFL ‏@AFL  54m
.@BILLZ_17 Ellis-Yolmen, Matt Crouch, Grigg, Cameron, Hartigan, Johnston, Kerridge, Lyons are probably the main ones #askthecoach



[In Reply To: is Rory Laird on track for round 1?]
AFL ‏@AFL  53m
.@cgsteer @Adelaide_FC Yes, he's had a few injury setbacks, but is definitely in the frame for round one. #askthecoach



[In Reply To: Whos the second option in ruck? Fair bit riding on Jacobs shoulders for the year]
AFL ‏@AFL  53m
.@captaincaple McKernan, Jenkins, Graham, Osborn are the next four #askthecoach



[In Reply To: what player do you expect to have a break out season this year? ]
AFL ‏@AFL  52m
.@deanbarber I think Mitch Grigg is set for a big year. #askthecoach



[In Reply To:  sando was at the game last night, you think the team plays to much Down the line, makes it harder to score goals]
AFL ‏@AFL  52m
.@irishlfc05 Carlton's defence didn't give us the corridor last night, which led us along the boundary too often #askthecoach

and SamShaw looks locked as a D6 (or D7)
not much given away on Crouch's JS, but good signs for Grigg, Ellis-Yolmen and BMartin

no word on the role of Danger, who's looked a bit ehhh in NAB

looks like a line through Wright too, being given a few roles and inconsistent scoring (ohai tagging)
