Young star Josh Rachele has expressed his readiness to take on a more prominent role in the Crows<\/a> engine room.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rachele's declaration comes after a chorus of disapproval from pundits, who have labelled Adelaide's midfield as "vanilla" and lacking the necessary quality to compete with the league's top teams.<\/p>\n

Despite the criticism, Rachele remains optimistic about the team's potential and believes that delivering fresh energy into the midfield could turn things around.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"I'd like to inject myself in at times, especially when you have those quarters on the weekend when you're not getting a lot of the ball," Rachele, 20, told 9News.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"I'd like to go in there a little bit more and not just help myself, but help the team a bit more as well."<\/p>\n

He believes teammate Izak Rankine – who's only attended 10 centre bounces this season – could offer some much-needed X-factor.<\/p>\n

"You can see even in the first game, the first half, Izak was probably one of our best players in the midfield," he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"He's done a lot of work in the midfield in our pre-season and off-season the last few couple of years, so I think it's just purely down to what he wants to play, and the needs of the team too, but he definitely has the potential to be playing a lot more in the midfield."<\/p>\n

Looking ahead to the upcoming clash against Fremantle, Rachele acknowledged the formidable talents of the Dockers' young midfielder stars.<\/p>\n

"You can see the players like Caleb Serong and Andy Brayshaw, they're amazing talents, so we're going to go head-to-head in the midfield against them," he said.<\/p>\n

While Rachele downplayed the situation as not quite reaching "panic stations" yet, he recognised the significance of avoiding a third consecutive loss.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"It's a massive challenge, you can see how quickly they can turn a game around, especially last week against North, they were pretty flat for the first half and ending up coming away with a good victory," he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

"In all honestly, we do feel really close, we just feel our game is just that touch off at the moment."<\/p>\n
