Crows have aces up their sleeves

YOUNG West Coast forward Murray Newman is one player who won't be the subject of the annual cliche "his best pre-season ever".
Newman was last week charged with grievous bodily harm after an incident in a Perth nightclub.
And today he was embarrassed in a running trial - going so slowly he was beaten home by 44-year-old coach John Worsfold.
The Eagles first to seventh-year players returned to pre-season training today with two 2km time-trials.
Newman finished dead last in both and got slower as he went, finishing in times of 8min13sec and 9min36sec according to the AFL website.
Worsfold, not noted for his pace during a 209-match playing career that ended 14 years ago, beat Newman to the finish line in both runs.
The 18-year-old was reportedly lapped in the second trial when he finished more than three minutes behind the winner, Bradd Dalziell.
The first time-trial was won by Chris Masten.
The Eagles have not commented on the result, but confirmed the teenager is not injured.
Newman played four matches mid-season after being picked with West Coast's first selection in the 2011 national draft.
