ADELAIDE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adelaide expect influential defender Rory Laird to press for an AFL return this weekend.<\/h3>\n

Laird has missed four games because of a broken toe but is in the selection frame for the Crows’ home match against St Kilda on Sunday.<\/p>\n

“Hopefully he comes back … would be a welcome addition, he’s pretty handy,” fellow backman Kyle Cheney told reporters on Monday,<\/p>\n

Only David Mackay (hamstring) and Curtly Hampton (foot) are unavailable for selection for the Crows, perched in eighth spot after downing Greater Western Sydney.<\/p>\n

Adelaide’s attacking aces Eddie Betts and Taylor Walker both kicked five goals in a 22-point win against the Giants which featured Betts’ latest goal of the year contender<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It has been all over social media … magic,” Cheney said of Betts’ snap shot.<\/p>\n

“He kicked goal of the year in indigenous round last year as well, so I think he might have sewn that one up already.<\/p>\n

“To watch Eddie do that, and then to hear the crowd react the way they do, definitely gets the boys up and we feed of that.”<\/p>\n

Captain Walker now has consecutive five-goal hauls after an injury-interrupted start to the season.<\/p>\n

“He copped a bit of flack from the media,” Cheney said.<\/p>\n

“But internally he was playing his role and we couldn’t ask any more than that.<\/p>\n

“The last couple of weeks he has come away with five goals, I don’t think he changed anything about the way he went about it – it’s just his turn.”<\/p>\n
