Adelaide small forward Tim McIntyre made an immediate impression during his debut against Port Adelaide with 2 early goals.
"What I've noticed with Tim and Ian this year, but not only this year, the way they go about their business at the footy club, the way that they train and how much they want it, is a credit to them," Crows skipper Nathan Van Berlo said.
"You could see it the minute they got here how hungry they were to play an AFL game. "It's a good lesson for a lot of the younger guys that come in, they see older guys that are just so desperate to play and when they get their opportunity they certainly relish it."
