Well, since we are only two weeks away from this, we may as well have a fred on it.
After a positive pre season the crows seem to have a mounting injury toll, particularly in the midfield, with that young gun Brad Crouch just ruled out for 6-8 weeks, the culler of Roos Kerridge in doubt and Thompson also seemingly not going to play.
Up forward they continue to look good, but down back they are letting spuds like Butcher kick multiple goals.
Still, they beat us, pushed Geelong at home and smashed Port so one could argue their pre season has been as good if not better than ours.
My feelings on this game sh1t me to tears. I should just write off the game as a loss given the round, the venue and the opponent, yet somewhere deep down i have hope.
Hope sucks.
