Adelaide's finals challenge has been made even tougher with news key defender Daniel Talia has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a broken arm.
Talia, who earlier in the week was named the 2012 Rising Star winner, will undergo corrective surgery on his right arm.
The 20-year-old left the field late in the Crows' 29-point defeat to the Swans in their qualifying final at Football Park.
Adelaide hosts Fremantle next Friday night for a place in the preliminary final against Hawthorn.
Talia's absence could be a major issue for the Adelaide defence, especially with Dockers captain Matthew Pavlich coming off a six-goal display in Fremantle's upset of the Cats.
