JORDAN Lewis has declared himself fit for Hawthorn's preliminary final clash with Adelaide on Saturday.

The important midfielder missed the Hawks' first final with hamstring soreness.

"The body is feeling good," Lewis said on Monday.

"I obviously had the week off against Collingwood and the boys won, so that allowed me to have an extra week [of rest].

"I trained all last week and I feel really good, and ready to go.

"There are no problems at all."

Hawthorn are short-priced favourites to progress to the Grand Final, but both Lewis and teammate Brad Sewell said the team would need to play well to beat the Crows.

"They've had a fantastic season, and really earned the right to play in a prelim final," Lewis said.

"They showed great character last week … they were challenged early, and their good players stood up when they needed to.

"We'll treat them with the highest respect."

Sewell said the Hawks rated Adelaide "really highly".

"They've got some genuine matchwinners across the board," he said.

"You don't end up at this stage of the season without some quality players across the board."

Sewell said the tag of flag favourite held no interest for Hawks players.

"Regardless of who the favourite is or who the favourite has been throughout the year, once that ball bounces on Saturday, all that's forgotten about," he said.

"There's no respect paid whatsoever to who is the favourite."

Earlier on Monday Hawks football operations general manager Mark Evans said wingman Clinton Young was also expected to be fit to face the Crows.

"We think [Lewis and Young] should be available," Evans told SEN radio.

"Both trained pretty well across last week so obviously they'll be put through their paces again this week and [we'll] see where they get to."

Young missed the qualifying final win over the Magpies with calf soreness.
