Key Crows miss training ahead of Freo clash
Ben Rutten and Mark Ricciuto have missed the Adelaide Crows' main training session at West Lakes ahead of Saturday's game against Fremantle.
Adelaide says both are doubtful to play but will be given extra time to prove their fitness.
Ricciuto has an ankle injury and Rutten has had knee and calf problems.
Midfielder Brent Reilly says the whole team will have to lift if the Crows are to beat the Dockers.
"If Roo and Truck don't play this week that's two key leaders that, even though Truck's not in the leadership group, but he's still a leader out there," he said.
