Crows feel the pain

ADELAIDE coach Don Pyke is accepting his AFL club’s spate of injuries as just a fact of football.

The Crows have 14 players on their injury list leading into tomorrow night’s home clash with the Western Bulldogs with Mitch McGovern, who’ll miss two months with an ankle injury, the latest casualty.

“I’m not sure what we can do about it but I’m going to focus on the guys that are available, not those who aren’t,” Pyke said.

Adelaide have banked five wins from eight games amid their injury troubles.
