Beaufort's top four chances hang on a knife's edge and could be blown out of the water with defeat in this Saturday's battle with Hepburn.
The Central Highlands Football League reigning premiers have been ravaged by injury and unavailability in 2019 and slipped outside the top eight following last weekend's bye.
The Crows have suffered four defeats inside the opening 10 rounds and coach Rohan Brown conceded another loss this Saturday would end his team's ability to secure a double chance in finals.
"You can't lose five and finish top four I don't think," Brown said.
"We will go over there and have a massive crack at these blokes."
The Crows have welcomed back top onballer Michael Foster and mid-season recruit Kyle Johannesen to the side that beat Dunnstown before the break.
Hepburn is fourth and heads into this contest on the back-up from defeating the Towners in round 10.
Saturday will see Carngham-Linton play its first game of 2019 at Snake Valley.
The Saints said goodbye to their time at Linton with a long-awaited victory at the ground early this month and now get set for a grudge match with long-time rivals Skipton.
Veteran Jake Pring is one of the big outs for the hosts after suffering a hamstring injury in last Saturday's defeat at the hands of Waubra, but the important Jake Dawson is back to add some grunt to the engine room.
Forward Jake Dunne is the key inclusion for Buninyong ahead of its trip to Ballan. He has missed the past couple of weeks with a knee issue and illness. Small forward Darren Connor will be absent after being knocked unconscious last Saturday in the win over Creswick.
Learmonth will be without 2018 club best and fairest Jason Rae for an extended period after he dislocated a shoulder in last weekend's win over Bungaree. The Lakies' opponents this Saturday is Springbank, which get back premiership player Justin Simpson from a knee complaint.
Newlyn is set to miss forward Declan Lourey for a couple of weeks after he hurt a hamstring in the win over Ballan, while past Geoff Taylor Medal winner Chris Eastwell is also out after injuring a calf in that game. The Cats are away to Clunes on Saturday.
Creswick has named forward Ethan Tibbles and onballer Pearce Antonio to return to the side for the battle with Gordon, while Bungaree has sidelined Andrew Milroy (ankle) but selected the important Jack Oostendorp, who has recovered from a hamstring strain. The Demons come up against Daylesford, which has named star midfielder Michael Cummings as an emergency.
Rokewood-Corindhap hosts Dunnstown in the other round 11 match.
