The Crows players nursed their bruises at a morning recovery session at Henley Beach on Sunday but now have at least 12 days to prepare for a home preliminary final.
There will be heavy focus in this period on the recovery speed of captain Mark Ricciuto, forward Brett Burton, veteran defender Ben Hart and half-back Andrew McLeod.
Ricciuto, battling the impact of parvovirus, hopes to start some physical activity at some stage this week while Burton (hamstring) plans to increase his training workload.
McLeod (foot) remains on crutches and still some days away from any training while Hart hopes to start running soon.
Ken McGregor, who missed three games with a hamstring strain, was set to return in the SANFL with Woodville-West Torrens on Sunday.
Chris Knights (quad) and Hayden Skipworth (hamstring) also are some chance to play next weekend.
