Crow’s rest here early

ADELAIDE’S plan to manage gun rookie Josh Rachele could be expedited after he suffered a “pretty bad corkie” in the Crows’ loss to St Kilda.

The young gun was subbed out of the Crows’ 21-point loss to the Saints at Adelaide Oval on Saturday night after he suffered a corked thigh in the fourth quarter.

“He will be assessed in coming days to determine his availability for next week,” Crows high performance manager Darren Burgess said.

The No.6 draft pick sat out part of the Crows training session on Wednesday.
