Adelaide coach Scott Camporeale says it would be foolish for the Crows to try and copy West Coast's blueprint on how to topple reigning AFL premiers Hawthorn.
The Crows meet the Hawks in a Friday night semi-final at the MCG but Camporeale says how the Eagles dismantled the defending champions in last week's qualifying final is largely irrelevant to his club.
"We'll focus in on what we want to do ... we would be silly to sit here and say we're going to do exactly what West Coast did because we're not West Coast," he told reporters on Thursday.
"We have got enough firepower forward, we have got a really strong midfield, and our defence has held up really well so we'll be backing those things in.
"You can fall into the trap, if you start watching opposition teams and trying to pick things out that they have done really well, because it's hard to implement.
"We will be backing our systems in to get the job done."
Several Adelaide players including star midfielder Patrick Dangerfield and former captain Nathan van Berlo didn't join the main group of players at a light 30-minute training session on Thursday.
But Camporeale said there was no doubt over any Crows player entering the knockout final.
