Adelaide are bracing to protect game-breaking goalsneak Eddie Betts from another Hawthorn assault in Friday night’s AFL match.<\/h3>\n

Crows coach Don Pyke says he’ll chat about Hawthorn’s recent tactics against Betts – ruffling him up physically – with the in-form forward.<\/p>\n

“We will probably discuss it with him,” Pyke told reporters on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“It’s not a primary focus. We think he’s in really good form. He’s in a good positive frame of mind.<\/p>\n

“He’ll be aware of that (tactic). But hopefully it’s not going to be a dictating factor on the game.”<\/p>\n

Betts enters the MCG fixture in fine form with 14 goals this season, helping the free-scoring Crows to a three-one win-loss record.<\/p>\n

Pyke said Adelaide’s attacking mantra won’t change despite the magnitude of the challenge of playing the reigning premier on home turf.<\/p>\n

“We will go over there with a clear direction of how we want to play,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We will adapt and we’ll be flexible to how Hawthorn play and we’ll recognise where they are strong. And we’ll bring our game.<\/p>\n

” … We want to play a well-rounded game and we want to play positive footy and we have been able to do that.”<\/p>\n

While many consider Friday night a test of Adelaide’s credentials, the first-year coach downplayed the significance of the duel against the Hawks.<\/p>\n

Asked if Adelaide could make a statement to the competition, Pyke replied: “No. For us it’s a game.<\/p>\n

“We have recovered, we prepare, we’ll get ready to play, and play, and measure our performance after that.”<\/p>\n

The Crows lose first-year midfielder Wayne Milera to a thigh injury with Charlie Cameron or Riley Knight the favoured replacement.<\/p>\n
