The Independent Member for Murchison Ruth Forrest is visiting the West Coast this week and Ruth always pops into the studio for a chat. She was in the studio this morning with Skirvo and you can listen to it right here.

Toby is one of many volunteers who put hours of service to the club and their volunteers are certainly a major key to the crows success in recent years. Being the recipient of the west coast spirit awards in 2022 is a great recognition to all those volunteers who contribute so much to the club both on and off the field. Congratulations and Go Crows.
