Fresh from their 17-point loss to WestCoast in a match played with finals-like intensity, Bewick says the fifth-placedRoos are looking to build on the experience gained from coming up againstbattle-hardened teams such as the Eagles and Geelong.

"This Geelong game and the atmosphere you'd think thatwill surround it, it's the sort of game that can only make you better,"Bewick said at training this week.

"After West Coast we think the playerscan only learn from that type of pressure and get better for the experience.

"That's why the Eagles, Geelong, Sydney and Adelaide perform so wellin those big games – they play in them so often they get used to it week in,week out under pressure.

"Our players are starting to get thatexperience and that will hold us in good stead hopefully for later this yearbut also in years to come."

Bewick acknowledged that the Geelong side the Rooswill meet at the weekend was vastly different to the one they defeated in roundfive at Skilled Stadium.

The biggest change, according to Bewick, isthe added confidence that comes with stringing together so many wins after whatwas a decidedly bumpy start to the year for the competition's pace-setters.

"They are playing with a bit moreconfidence and that comes with winning, obviously.

"They play a very attacking brand offooty and have a very good mix of players who have played a lot of footytogether now, and that can't be under-estimated.

"They went pretty far into Septembernot so long ago and then they had a down year but that seems to have gelledthem really well together.

"They seem to play well as a team andwell for each other but they are 22 players together just like we are and theycan be beaten at any time."

As always, the coaching staff has devoted agreat deal of their energy in watching how Geelong has gone about their winning ways inrecent weeks, however much of the planning for Sunday's game has revolvedaround how the Kangaroos themselves approach the game.

That strategy extends to analysing how theRoos played in the memorable round five victory down at the Cattery rather thanfocusing on the weaknesses of the Geelong side in that 16-point triumph.

"We have certainly sat down andwatched the last time we played them as well as their previous few games,"Bewick said.

"But we probably looked more at whatwe did down there rather than what they did or didn't do.

"If we do the things that we do welland we do them for long enough during the game we are more than competitive andthat gives us a realistic chance of winning the game."

Bewick said that fans of both teams couldbe assured of an entertaining struggle, particularly given the similarities inthe teams' game styles.

"We both play an aggressive,hard-running and attacking brand of footy so it should be a great game.

"They are probably a bit further downthe track in being together as a group, but in saying that we think our groupis coming along rapidly – probably quicker than we thought they would."
