One week on from a thrilling four-point win at Lauderdale - their first at that venue - Trent Baumeler's Tigers will host 7-1 Launceston.
Eleven goals separated the two sides in round three, when the Tigers began well but were ultimately wasteful in front of goal.
"Once you're on the back foot against the good teams, especially on their home ground as well, it's pretty tough," Baumeler said.
"But we battled away and there were some things we were pleased about, but a lot of lessons learned and a lot of areas to get better at for [Saturday's game]."
The Tigers are yet to down Launceston at Windsor Park, but have taken the chocolates twice at Kingston since joining the TSL in 2014.
"It's great to get back on the Twin Ovals - we feel like [winning at home] has probably been a growth area for us," Baumeler said.
"We're ahead of the ledger at home so far this year, but the challenges don't come much bigger than Launny.
"It's a challenge we don't need to be fearful of - we just need to embrace it and play our brand of footy and throw everything we can at it."
Baumeler has made one change for Saturday with ex-captain Sam Rice covering Longford recruit Tom Dwyer (leg), who is set to miss much of the year's remainder.
Blues coach Mitch Thorp, who returns among six changes, heralded his counterpart's impact on the former cellar-dwellers.
"I think Trent first and foremost should get a pat on the back for the work he's done," Thorp said.
"Losing Kieran Lovell ... most people would have though they may have regressed in their progression and Marcus Davies joining the fireys like Jobi [Harper] has - he hasn't played for eight games.
"They've built some real DNA, they're a contested ball side ... it just looks like they've bought into a program that means something to them."
