AFL:Crows sweat on fallout from tense win over Cats

Adelaide coach Matthew Nicks is optimistic his side's tough victory over Geelong won't be soured by a significant injury toll and match review findings.

Callum Ah Chee (hamstring) and Jordon Butts (calf) both failed to finish Thursday night's gripping contest, which the Crows won 11.9 (75) to 10.14 (74).

Toby Murray and debutant Hugo Hall-Kahan were involved in a sickening head clash, while Taylor Walker faces scrutiny after shoving an opponent into a marking contest.

"It's disappointing that we've lost those guys but also really pleasing that we were able to hang in there and just fight it out towards the end," Nicks said.

"Ah Chee's a hamstring, Jordon Butts is a calf, but we don't know to what extent. We hope they're minor."
