Adelaide could have a host of players available for its Anzac Round clash with North Melbourne in Hobart this Saturday. 

Midfielder Sam Berry was subbed out of Friday night’s game with a foot injury but will face a fitness test ahead of this weekend. 

“Sam was unable to complete the game on Friday night – he’s got a minor foot issue,” Crows High Performance Manager Darren Burgess said. 

“We are hoping he will be able to get through training this week and be available on Saturday, but we will see how that goes.”

Key defender Jordon Butts is also hoping to be available this weekend after missing last week with a hamstring strain. 

“Buttsy was really close to playing last week, and just missed out at the last minute,” Burgess said.

“We expect him to get through training tomorrow and if he does and ticks all the boxes then hopefully, he will be available for Saturday’s game.”

Small forward Lachlan Murphy, who has been sidelined for the past three matches with a knee injury, is also expected to be available for selection.

“Murph has completed everything we have asked of him over the past three weeks,” Burgess said.

“And as long as he gets through training tomorrow, we expect him to be available this weekend.”

Defender Brodie Smith was able to complete the game against Essendon on Friday night, however, will also be assessed this week. 

“Brodie has been managing a back issue, he did really well to play on Friday night and get through the game,” Burgess said.

“So, we’ll see how he pulls up this week and then make a call on whether he will be available or not.”
