Adelaide have appointed 26-gamer Tom Doedee as stand-in AFL skipper.

Doedee will lead the winless Crows in the absence of regular captain Rory Sloane, who is sidelined for at least a month because of a broken hand.

Doedee was elected into Adelaide's leadership group in January, despite missing all of last season because of a knee reconstruction.
