VB vows to keep steering Crows

RE-BOOTED Nathan van Berlo wants to continue as Adelaide skipper next season despite the winds of change sweeping West Lakes.

Patrick Dangerfield and Rory Sloane co-captained the Crows this season after the 182-game midfielder was struck by a weighted training sled in a freak training mishap during January at Max Basheer Reserve.

Van Berlo, 28, says he can combine a comeback from a snapped Achilles tendon and leadership responsibility as Adelaide enters a crucial season — hoping to end a two-year exile from finals action.

"I love leading the club and it has been a huge honour for me and we will have those discussions in due course, when the time is right," said van Berlo, who has led Adelaide in 68 games since 2010.

"It has been an honour to lead the footy club."

Van Berlo was a chance to return for the Crows had they made the finals but will have to wait another six months to end a "frustrating" stint on the sidelines.

"I guess I will have an 18 month pre-season to get myself up and going for 2015," he said.

The Crows gathered this morning to commence end of season celebrations at the Hackney Hotel ahead of a bus tour through the Adelaide Hills. It could be a final chance for bonding with list and coaching overhaul expected over the summer following a 10th placed finish.

Leading goal kicker Eddie Betts and rookie Charlie Cameron caught the eye while Dangerfield and veteran James Podsiadly arrived in matching suits.
