Novice ruckman Reilly OBrien has joined Adelaides travelling squad to Sydney, but the Crows insist theres no alarm over their regular ruck duo for their AFL semi-final.OBrien isnt among Adelaides three emergencies for the SCG final against the Swans on Saturday night with the Crows saying hes travelling as insurance for lead tap-man Sam Jacobs and his ruck partner Josh Jenkins.The only time he gets a game is if Sam Jacobs does something in the warm-up or in training, Crows assistant coach James Podsiadly told reporters at Adelaide Airport on Friday.Jenkins has been carrying an ankle injury but was in no doubt for the knockout final, he said.He trained pretty solidly on Wednesday and he will train today again, Podsiadly said.OBrien, who made his AFL debut this year, was left out of Adelaides official 25-man squad for the semi-final with Riley Knight, Paul Seedsman and Andy Otten named as emergencies.The Crows are braced for a ferocious start to the final from a Swans outfit eager to atone for their qualifying final loss to Greater Western Sydney.We expect that, a side coming off a loss with a proud history like Sydney, they are going to come out pretty hard, Podsiadly said.They are actually a contested side anyway but so are we. We are expecting the first 10, 15 minutes of the game to be pretty hot and we have just got to match them in that area.Adelaide were also mindful of the danger of becoming overly-focused on Sydneys attacking ace Lance Franklin, who has been central to the pre-game planning of Podsiadly, who works primarily with Adelaides backline.He is one of the premier players and premier forwards in the competition so we have to respect his talent and his ability to change a game, he said.From my perspective, we have done a fair bit of work into him but also we have done a fair bit of work on their other forwards.The Crows will have a pre-game training session on Friday afternoon at the SCG, a ground where they have played just twice in the past eight seasons.

Wholesale Diamondbacks Jerseys . JOHNS, N. Superstar forward Didier Drogbas absence from the Montreal Impact roster is unlikely to end in Thursdays Eastern Conference knockout-round playoff match against host D.C. United.Despite scoring 10 goals in 22 appearances, Drogba hasnt played since the end of September -- partly due to a feud over playing time with manager Mauro Biello and more recently because of a back ailment.The 38-year-old Ivory Coast international and former Chelsea striker sat out most of training again on Tuesday. Multiple media outlets on Wednesday reported that he did not make the trip to Washington.I dont think those chances will be good, Biello said Tuesday, according to MLSSoccer.com. He hasnt trained, he still feels a discomfort, so the chances are very minimal.Drogba is out of contract at the end of the season, and fifth-seeded Montreal is actually 6-3-3 this season when he doesnt play.In the latter third of the campaign, Biello appeared to be more comfortable starting mid-season loan signing Matteo Mancosu at forward and bringing Drogba off the bench. The 31-year-old Italian has three goals and four assists in 15 appearances (seven starts).(Drogbas) a different player than Mancosu, but I dont think much is going to change if they swap one for the other, D.ddddddddddddC. United coach Ben Olsen said, according to MLSSoccer.com. So the way we go about the game isnt going to change.By contrast, fourth-seeded D.C. United have very few questions surrounding their personnel for a group that had won four straight before sitting most of its regulars in a 4-2 loss at Orlando City SC on Sunday.Midfielder Marcelo Sarvas (knee) and outside back Sean Franklin (calf) made their first appearances since September on Sunday, but seem unlikely to supplant anyone in Olsens starting lineup.We like our group, Olsen told reporters Tuesday. But those two players are very influential to the team. These are good choices to have, and Im certainly not going to tell you who Im starting.The winner of the D.C. United-Impact match earns a spot in the Eastern Conference semifinals against the top-seeded New York Red Bulls. The first leg of the home-and-home series would be Sunday in Washington or Montreal, with the second leg on Nov. 6 in Harrison, N.J. ' ' '
