Adelaide midfielder Richard Douglas has revealed how he recovered so quickly from a dangerous knock to the groin; the Crows midfielder says the team will be looking to recover from their slow start to the season when they come up against the Swans.
ADELAIDE coach Brenton Sanderson has dismissed concerns over star midfielder Patrick Dangerfield's lack of impact this season and is confident his pride in his performance will lead to another outstanding season.
Dangerfield has been below his best in matches against Geelong and Port Adelaide, having struggled with heavy minding and not being at his explosive best.

But Sanderson, who installed Dangerfield and fellow midfielder Rory Sloane as stand-in captains for the injured Nathan van Berlo for the start of the season, is confident he will bounce back quickly.
After all the off-field point scoring in the lead-up to Saturdays historic first Showdown at Adelaide Oval it was always going to come down to football and right now Port Adelaide is simply a better side than the Crows.
"He'll be fine,'' Sanderson said after training at Adelaide Oval. "He puts a lot of pressure on himself already.
"I know there's been external pressure on him this week. (But) he's still going to have really fantastic season, I'm sure.
"He's such a proud footballer with so much ability. You won't be able to hold him down for too long.
"Hopefully this week (against Sydney) he comes out and can win us the game. That's the Cinderella story. But we just need Danger to play his role and I'm sure we're going to see a fantastic game from him and for the rest of the season.''
