McGregor, one of the Crows’ most improved players, was unable to take part in Friday morning’s training session. The Crows will give McGregor as long as possible to recover before finalising their team.
Fellow key position player Ian Perrie, who was surprisingly dropped on Thursday night, is one of the Crows’ three emergencies and the likely replacement for McGregor.
However coach Gary Ayres said he was expecting McGregor to recover in time for Saturday’s knock-out final.
Ayres also appealed to the Crows fans to get behind the game for what is the Crows’ first final at home since 1997.
Just 27,000 of the 54,000 tickets have been sold for the game while only 21,000 have been sold for Sunday’s qualifying final between Port Adelaide and Sydney.
