Adelaide know better than most that it pays to avoid five-time AFL All-Australian defender Tom Stewart when kicking into attack.
It's also easier said than done and Stewart is a major focus for the Crows ahead of hosting Geelong on Thursday night.
When the two teams clashed in round three, Stewart had nine intercept possessions as the Cats held off Adelaide by eight points.
Stewart is elite at picking off opposition kicks inside 50m and he also kicked a goal in the March 26 clash.
"He's a thorn in a few sides' backsides ... great player," Crows forward Darcy Fogarty said.
"Ideally, not kick it to him. He puts himself in good spots.
"As a team, we're really going to work around how we can nullify him, and I guess we'll just play through it, and play good grounded footy."
