ADELAIDE is set to be at full strength to face North Melbourne in Saturday night's elimination final, with rebounding defender Brodie Smith on track to return from concussion.
The Crows badly missed Smith's run and carry when he sat out the side's 29-point loss to West Coast in round 23 after a heavy knock to the head in the Showdown with Port Adelaide the previous week.
Smith trained with the main squad last week and Adelaide's general manager of high performance Brett Burton told AFC.com.au that all signs pointed to a recall to take on the Kangaroos.
"Brodie Smith has recovered well from that concussion," Burton said.
"He had a good week on the training track last week and he’ll be in full training this week as well."
Smith, 24, has enjoyed another consistent season for the Crows, averaging 20.5 possessions per game.
The 118-gamer is a valuable component of the Crows' backline, but he can also push through the midfield and on the wing.
The Crows will also regain star midfielder Rory Sloane after serving a one-game suspension for rough conduct.
Winger Paul Seedsman is expected to be available, but would be highly unlikely to come straight back into the club's AFL side.
Seedsman was a late scratching from Adelaide's SANFL side last weekend, with the club taking no risks with a corked buttock injury that has kept him out for the past month.
It's more than likely Seedsman will come into Adelaide's SANFL side this weekend.
"Seeds didn’t quite come up for last week’s SANFL game, but he trained well over the weekend and had another good session today (Monday)," Burton said.
"We look forward to him training at the main session and being available to play."
