ADELAIDE star Eddie Betts sat out training, but says the six-day turnaround won't stop him from facing North Melbourne on Saturday.

The 30-year-old watched on as the Crows went through their paces at Football Park on Tuesday morning.

Betts was still feeling the effects of his side's 76-point win against Richmond at Adelaide Oval on Sunday.

"Since I'm a bit older these days, my body takes a lot longer to recover," Betts told Channel 9.

"When I was younger it would take me two days, now it takes me half a week.

"I'll be right."

Betts – who has played 259 games and is in his 13th season - needs just one goal against the Kangaroos at Blundstone Arena to reach 500 career goals.

All-Australian vice-captain Rory Sloane was on light duties at training as he recovers from a corked thigh.

Sloane had a bandage on his leg, but the champion midfielder is expected to make the trip to Tasmania.

The Crows will have a closed training session at Football Park on Wednesday morning.
