ADELAIDE finally returns to home to South Australia with Monday night football back on the calendar to close out round seven.

FOLLOW IT LIVE Crows v Saints

The bottom-of-the-table Crows (0-6) will take on St Kilda (3-3) at Adelaide Oval, with 23-year-old defender Tom Doedee to captain the home side in the absence of injured skipper Rory Sloane.

Young key-position player Fischer McAsey has already shown he's up for the contest with a courageous mark going back with the flight of the ball.
