Crows defender Graham Johncock trained on Wednesday evening to allay fears his corked thigh could keep him out of Saturday night’s clash with Collingwood.

He was not thrown into any competitive drills during the closed session at AAMI Stadium but his appearance suggests he is on track to remain one of the seven Crows to have played in each round of the 2006 premiership season.

Three Crows who played against West Coast in Perth on Saturday did not train last night. But Brett Burton (leg soreness), Nathan Bassett (general soreness) and Robert Shirley (leg soreness) are not considered in any doubt for this weekend.

Jason Torney, who missed the Eagles match because of a neck injury, also trained and will press for AFL selection.
