Jason Wells will shoot for his century of goals at Longwarry on Saturday after coming off early during the Crows' contest with Yarragon.
The dynamic forward will begin the contest with Catani on 99 goals, with a big crowd anticipated to witness the feat.
The Crows demonstrated why they are a top two side, kicking away after a tight start to easily account for the Panthers 19-14 (128) to 4-3 (27).
That's despite Wells sitting on the bench from the 19-minute mark of the second quarter, having steered through his fourth and 99th of the season - delaying the opportunity for his 100th to be on home turf.
The first quarter was a dour affair, the Crows managing just two goals before kicking away across the remainder of the contest with 17 goals to three.
Riley Rundell, Fintan Fox, Bailey Werle, Russell Lehman, Bailey Stephens and Jedd Serong helped Longwarry kick away.
Leading the early competitive effort for Yarragon were Sam van der Zalm, Jayden McCormack, David Bates, Brett Coghill, Jack Symes and Tom Delaney.
POOWONG broke through for its first win of the season, accounting for Nyora 8-19 (67) to 6-4 (40).
Only inaccuracy kept the Saints in the contest as the Magpies put in an impressive performance at home.
Micah Williames, Alex Henshall, Conor Cunningham, Matthew Cozzio, Jett Blackwood and Connor Ives led the way for Poowong.
The Saints were best served by Aaron Coggins, Marley Huet, Liam Simpson, Tyler Kirkbride, Tane White and Jordan Anderson.
LANG LANG rediscovered some form, running out big winner over Catani despite missing spearhead Marc Holt.
After kicking out to a comfortable buffer, the Tigers lifted again with eight goals to two after the long break to win 15-14 (104) to 5-7 (37).
Jesse Hand, Bailey Galante, Kaden Finlay Smith, Robi Nooy and Joseph Dalgleish led the charge for Lang Lang.
The better players for the Blues were Tyler Fowkes, Brodie White, Riley McLeod, Declan McFarlane, Trent Adams and Adam Splatt.
NEERIM-NEERIM SOUTH continued its strong form, comfortably taking care of Ellinbank 15-11 (101) to 7-6 (48).
The Eagles held the Cats well early, heading into the first change with just a five-point deficit, but were unable to sustain it.
With a 17-point lead at the long break, the Cats put their foot down with 10 goals to five in the second half.
