Brett Burton, Andrew McLeod, Ben Hart and captain Mark Ricciuto all completed Wednesday’s main training session to ensure a long evening for Adelaide’s selection panel.

The enthusiastic 90-minute run at AAMI Stadium – watched by about 300 fans – was also closely studied by the media waiting to see if the Crow stars would push for selection in Saturday’s preliminary final against West Coast.

Burton, sidelined since round 18 by a hamstring tear, has now trained confidently at three sessions and has already declared his availability.

McLeod has been more cautious about his chances but moved well while Hart (Achilles) also ran out the whole session.

And Ricciuto joined the main squad for the first time since recovering from the parvovirus.

Chris Knights, who has been troubled by a quad strain, also trained and is expected to be available for the SANFL this weekend.

The only player from the last game who did not train on AAMI Stadium was Michael Doughty, who trained inside to rest some leg soreness.

Adelaide’s next training session is at 10am on Friday.
