Glenelg captain Chris Curran is expected to be given a concussion test on Friday night before his status for the preliminary final clash against Adelaide at Adelaide Oval on Sunday is confirmed.
Curran has done little training since copping several heavy knocks in the loss to Port Adelaide in the second semi-final and was physically ill on Sunday night.
The medical student’s condition had improved on Wednesday and the Tigers are optimistic he will be available after being named on an extended bench.
The seven names on the bench also includes Ken Farmer Medallist Liam McBean, who is in doubt due to hamstring issues.
McBean is positive he will be okay for the contest and the key forward will be given up until game day to prove his fitness.
Classy forward Ben Davis is back in the Crows line-up after completing a two-game suspension, while Tom Hutchesson returns after being a late withdrawal from the first semi-final because of a hamstring issue.
