The Crows are every chance of taking an unchanged team into Saturday night's semi-final against Brisbane after a breakthrough September win. Forward Taylor was close to returning from a hamstring injury last week and has played 21 games this season, but there is a squeeze for spots and it is hard to see who he forces out. Peatling has been ruled out, while key defenders Nick Murray and Jordon Butts, midfielder Billy Dowling, and rebounders Mitch Hinge and Oscar Ryan are among the players on the cusp if unexpected injuries occur. – Nathan Schmook

Answerth missed Tuesday's training session and was seen in a moonboot that he later removed. He will be tested later in the week, but if he fails to overcome the ankle injury, Lincoln McCarthy played as a shutdown defender early in the season, while Bruce Reville or Shadeau Brain could also be considered. Ty Gallop was the unlucky omission last week and could be recalled to help against Adelaide's tall forward line on Saturday night. - Michael Whiting

The Dockers have kept the door ajar for Walker after positive scans on his injured ankle, but the small defender did not train with the main group on Tuesday and is in doubt. Judd McVee is the most likely replacement after playing 21 games this season, with versatile midfielder Corey Wagner more likely to come under consideration for a role up the ground if more change is needed. Bailey Banfield is another backline option but has only played one game this season. Wingman Jaeger O'Meara did not train on Tuesday, while ruckman Darcy was on light duties after a knock to the knee in the WAFL. Half-forward Chris Scerri was an emergency for the qualifying final along with key defender Hugh Davies. – Nathan Schmook

Worpel will miss the rest of the season to undergo hamstring surgery this week, while Stanley will face a test to prove his fitness for Sunday's VFL preliminary final against Port Melbourne. Meanwhile, the club is still assessing Jake Kolodjashnij’s availability for both the AFL and VFL finals. - Emily Patterson

Reeves has been ruled out of this Saturday's VFL preliminary final against Essendon but will be available for the AFL preliminary final if required. Scrimshaw hasn't played for Sam Mitchell since round eight and only played one VFL game since then due to a lingering knee issue. Noah Mraz, Jack Dalton and Max Ramsden were all included in the 26-man squad against the Dockers and are set for Box Hill this weekend. - Josh Gabelich

Scans have confirmed Mills ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in the qualifying final against Brisbane. He will consult a knee specialist in the coming days to plan his surgery, though he has already begun initial rehabilitation. Meanwhile, McInerney has returned to team training and will face a fitness test ahead of next week's preliminary final. Joel Amartey is available after passing key fitness benchmarks last week, despite missing selection for the final. - Emily Patterson
