Not only will the Crows try and prevent Geelong from scoring, but they’ll also take aleaf out of the Cats’ book to try and generate more scoreboard pressure.

“We know how aggressive Geelong are in their offensive play. I enjoywatching them and I love the type of footy they play,” Craig said.

“Our defence this year has been sound and I think we’ve beenable to hold up most teams in that area, so that will be important for usagain, but we’ll have to kick a score against them as well.”

Craig said last week’s victory over a red-hot Port Adelaideput the team in good stead for the challenge of taking on Geelong at Skilled Stadium.

“Last week we played a side that was sitting third and inreally good form. Now we’re playing the top team in the competition that hasn’tlost for 13 weeks,” he said.

“You could argue not a lot is different in terms of theconsequences of the game, so here we go again. We’ve come off a pretty good winand based on that and the case of Bock and Rutten, we get some guys back with agood skills set and that will be a bonus for us.”

Nathan Bock and Ben Rutten are “legitimate chances” to makethe trip, but will have to get through the club’s final training run onSaturday to convince Craig.

Young ruckman JonGriffin will play his first game since round 13, replacing suspended star BenHudson.

Craig said the playing group would have to be prepared for“different scenarios” at the stoppages with the inexperienced duo of Griffin and Ivan Maric atthe helm.

“We need to understand that is what we’ve got [Maric and Griffin]. The excitingthing for us is that we have two, young, inexperienced ruckman who arehopefully the future of our footy club.”
