INJURED Crows defender Brent Reilly made a surprise return to West Lakes on Monday as he recovers from surgery to repair a fractured skull.
The 31-year-old turned up to training on Monday and attended a meeting with teammates during what has been a week of closed training sessions leading up to Sunday's NAB Challenge match.
Adelaide's Brent Reilly has left intensive care and continues his recovery from a fractured skull.
"He had enough energy to come in … he has been going for some walks and he's getting some light exercise," Adelaide head of football David Noble said.

"He didn't have a walking stick or anything like that. He came in on his own steam.
"He got a rousing reception — he got a couple actually.
"He's definitely had irritations to the nerves on the left-hand side of his face, which is really common with this particular type of injury and post-surgery," Adelaide's head of football David Noble said.

"That's a normal occurrence.
"Radar's speech is really good. That nerve damage sometimes has a little impact on certain words but his comprehension is good, his memory is fine.
"The surgeon was really happy and thought that these symptoms were certainly temporary. They were quite comfortable with how he came through the surgery."
Reilly, who has played 203 games for the Crows, was injured during training on February 9 in what the club said was an accidental head knock.
He is about to start a rehabilitation program but his playing future remains unclear.
The Crows travel to Port Lincoln this weekend to play North Melbourne in their opening NAB Challenge match which the AFL this morning announced was now sold out.
