Definitely not slow but not as lightning-quick as someone like Dangerfield.People are mentioning that knights may slow our already slow team down.. What is brad crouch's speed like? Because if he is another slower inside mid don't we have enough?

It varies depending depending on who you ask.Everyone has him as a top 10 talent with most believing him as a top 5 player and others thinking of him as a top 7 player. I personally would rate him as the 5th best prospect if he was in the draft this year. Also, several recruiters believe him to one of the safest prospects (i.e. most likely to reach their potential) to come out of the draft in the last 2 years. However, we won't know until he starts playing as to how he will cope at the next level so we should all (myself included) keep our lofty expectations of him in check for the time being.Any idea what pick he would be expected to go roughly ATM if he was still being drafted?

Not injured anymore. He suffered broken leg last year which he seems to have made a full recovery from and he has a also successfully returned from his recent period away with a hamstring.Alright thanks. And is he still injured? Haven't heard much about him lately.. What was his injury and how serious?
I haven't seen him play for West Adelaide, have you?
Could you make a comparison between his season with West Adelaide and Jimmy Toumpas from WWT? who is tipped to go top 3
Jimmy Toumpas is having a good season but nothing outstanding. Jimmy has played 5 or 6 games and is averaging about 15 or 16 possessions a game playing between wing and half forward and like Crouch, he's missed a large chunk of it with a hip injury.
I did notice Crouch get 20 possessions last round for WA, so think they would be on par.

Side note: I think we should probably take this discussion to another thread. Mods could you fix this up?
I agree with your assessment that Jimmy Toumpas will be an outsider receiver (not that there is anything wrong with that) and won't get past Port Adelaide at pick 4 or 5.
Regarding your last line - By the time Brad Crouch is hitting his straps Scott Thompson will be nearly finished. Add 2 years on from pre season and I can not see Scott Thompson will be the same sort of player. But we will have a very able replacement ready to go.

My Top 5 (with JOM and Crouch).Interested to hear your top 5 if you dont mind...And if you have an indication of where most the well known SA boys could go.. Cheers
My Top 5 (with JOM and Crouch).
1. Lachie Whifield
2. Jaeger O’Meara
3. Jake Stringer
4. Brodie Grundy
5. Brad Crouch
I wouldn't feel comfortable giving too much insight into the SA boys until the champs are over at the very least. Even then the combine usually shakes things up later in the year. Having said that the main ones that seem likely to go towards the top end of the draft (first 2 rounds) at this stage are: Brodie Grundy, Emmanuel Irra, Ben Kennedy, Sam Mayes, Jimmy Toumpas, Also keep an eye out for possible draft bolters like Mason Middleton and Brodie Murdoch later in the year. You should check in on the D&T Board if you want know more. Chris25 runs a pretty good thread on the up-and-coming SA prospects: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/2012-south-australian-draft-prospects.907862/
I know but I thought it would only be fair to add him if I was to rate Crouch against others in this draft (which neither are part of).Jaeger O'Meara is already on the GC suns list. Same as we got Crouch.
