The Crows are optimistic Scott Thompson, Sam Kerridge and Mitch Grigg will be fit for Sunday’s clash with St Kilda at Etihad Stadium.

Thompson (corked thigh) was substituted at quarter time of Adelaide’s loss to Sydney. Kerridge sustained a poke in the eye in the third quarter and didn’t return to the field. Grigg was able to play out the match but reported adductor soreness. Forward Jason Porplyzia will also face a fitness test to determine his availability after suffering a corked buttock in the SANFL.

Taylor Walker experienced hamstring soreness after training on Saturday and will be assessed during the week. Tom Lynch (shoulder) and Andy Otten (knee) are 1-2 weeks away from a return.

The Crows will have an open training session on AAMI Stadium from 10:15am on Saturday, April 12, before travelling to Melbourne.
