ADELAIDE chairman Rob Chapman has denied the Crows haven't been transparent in detailing their injuries this season, emphatically claiming "we don't play games".

The Crows have come under scrutiny for how they have reported injuries to several players, including Brad Crouch, Rory Sloane and skipper Taylor Walker.

Crouch had groin surgery on Monday – a month after the club said it wasn't required - Sloane has missed seven games with a foot issue that became a Lisfranc strain, while Walker is undergoing a "mini pre-season" after struggling with back and glute injuries that were giving him hamstring soreness.

But Chapman was adamant his club was providing the correct information as it came to hand.

"I can’t see where there’s an advantage for us in concealing an injury," Chapman told reporters on Tuesday. 

"I’ve talked to (coach Don (Pyke) pretty regularly, I ask him those questions and the response he gives me is, 'Things change'.

"He can sit here at a press conference post-training (and) by the time he gets back to the change rooms and the boys have warmed-down after doing a 40-minute high intensity training session, there could have been, like there has been, a couple of instances he didn’t know about that he discovers 20 minutes later.

"What I’ve now learned is things change, and things change rapidly, but please don’t for a moment think we’re lying about that or hiding those things.

"There’s nothing to be gained from it. We don’t play games."
