BRENT Reilly's teammates will not be haunted by his horrific training injury, with leadership member Daniel Talia saying it will be business as usual next week.
While the Crows players have gone through their own personal turmoil this week as they deal with a serious injury to a popular teammate, Talia described the incident that led to Reilly having emergency surgery to repair a fractured skull as "just one of those injuries that happens''.
He said the players would not change their approach to training and would continue to go hard in preparation for the 2015 season.
"As a player, when you put yourself out on the field you realise things like this do happen every now and then,'' Talia said.
"The percentage of ugly incidents like this are very minor so guys will attack the football as normal.
"You put it out of your mind when you're out there and you play the game that you love."
The entire team has been counselled over Reilly's injury, including the unnamed player whose knee accidentally slammed into the left side of Reilly's head during a regulation competitive drill, causing several skull fractures.
Talia said all were coping well, understanding that Reilly sustained a freak injury.
"It was just an unlucky incident and unfortunately Radar (Reilly) was on the end of it,'' he said.
"I'm not going to name him (the player who crashed into Reilly) because we don't really need to, it's irrelevant. But he and everyone else is coping fine.
The good thing about a football club when incidents like this happen is that you've got a great support network around you.
"Having 40 guys (players) here being able to deal with it together is really helpful and you've got the player development manager, your doctors, the psychologist from the AFLPA, the best people to talk to.
"I'm sure everyone will be okay come the start of next week.''
