Adelaide defender Brodie Smith has confirmed his teammate Eddie Betts will definitely play on Saturday against Hawthorn, erasing any doubt over his place in the side.

Betts has been battling illness this week, missing a training session and putting his place in the side in jeopardy.

Forward Troy Menzel has travelled over as an emergency.

But Smith quashed any doubt on Betts' place in the side, speaking on the Rush Hour with Jars and Louie on Friday.

"Yes, he is (right to play)," he said on Triple M.

"He trained today with the boys...he'll be down there causing havoc tomorrow."

Betts starred last week in Adelaide's big win over GWS, kicking four goals.

Smith did have a chuckle, noting Betts' illness was still having an impact.

"I think a few of the boys avoided him (at training) a little bit, (they) don't wanna catch anything," he laughed.

"I wouldn't have minded him on a different flight. 

"He's flown over, he's fine to go."
