And Brett Burton also hopes to shrug off a sore ankle so that he can resume his comeback from knee surgery.
Both these players, however, will need to pull on a different SANFL guernsey as the Woodville-West Torrens Eagles are not playing this weekend.
Adelaide’s injury list now includes four players who will not play again this season - Andy Otten, Jared Petrenko, Daniel Talia and young ruckman James Craig, who last week had hamstring surgery.
But Brad Moran (knee) is getting close to rejoining the main squad and may be ready to play by mid-August and Sam Shaw (back) could be back in a couple of weeks.
Adelaide has an open training session at Max Basheer Reserve on Wednesday at 11am.
