Bock is back

Nathan Bock has been cleared to play in Saturday nights game against Geelong at AAMI Stadium. He returns after 1 week on the sideline with a club imposed suspension following an off field indiscretion. He could prove a key inclusion as the Crows defence was left a little short in the height department against Fremantle.

Rob Shirley also returns to the line up. It's not a suprising selection as Neil Craig has previously stated that Shirley might only be used in certain matches where multiple taggers are required. If there's one team that might require the use of multiple taggers, it would be Geelong.

Out of the team for this week are Nick Gill with a hamstring strain for 2-3 weeks and Scott Stevens who will be rested with a concussion suffered during the match against Fremantle.

The key to defeating Geelong this weekend will be accountability. If the Crows are not mindful of their opposition then the score could blow out. So the selection of Shirley is a step in the right direction. If the Crows can tackle hard and provide running options out of defence then they will definitely be a chance at an upset victory.
