With both A grade and A reserve recording losses, the teams will now re-group and focus on the task at hand this weekend back home against Ganmain-Grong Grong-Matong.
In what were cold and rainy conditions at Robertson Oval, the Crows went down 45-29 in A grade and 50-37 in A reserves.
A shining light however was the debut of young gun Madeline Irvin in A reserve.
"She played extremely well ... all going well this weekend she will make her debut in A grade," senior coach Rachal Broadbent said.

"The conditions weren't great last weekend. Our defenders in both grades played really well.
"In A grade we did play well, any other day I think we would have been up there with them. The girls were composed."
This weekend's match against the Lions at Leeton Showground is of particular importance to A grade, who are sitting fifth on the ladder, but are on equal points with GGGM.
A win would not only see them move up the ladder, but also prepare them well for the clash with Osborne the following week.
"We've got a few things we need to work on at training, but we're hopeful of getting the win this week," Broadbent said.
Broadbent herself hopes to make a return for A reserve this week as well.
In the other games on the weekend, B grade defeated Wagga 40-35, C grade went down 39-12 and the under 17s lost a nail-biter 29-28.
