Player Watch Matt Crouch - Re-Signed to End of 2025

[BrissyCrow]

Congratulations Matty. Great effort. Originally I thought we took Matty in the draft to strengthen our hold on Brad and that Brad would be the real focus. Now we have two great Crouch brothers. Just have to keep them together.

 

[jbanger]

isn't he managed by the same peanut who looks after Sloaney that's now gone to collingwood?

Said he was the closest thing to sam mitchell going around a while back. Just needed to improve his disposal which he has and them some. Decent kid, future captain. Pay him accordingly and will show loyalty.

Exactly what you want as a modern footballer. Hard at it, tough as nails, no nonsense, heads down, bums up, media shy, born to play football.

The key thing I've noticed is the media shy attitude of the Crouch bros. I think this is a trait that will likely to make them stay in the one club. Lever and Dangerfield, they got skills but also seem to enjoy the media limelight, which is an ingredient that makes the Victorian lure an easier bait.

Number 5. Cripes. That is a pretty big assessment.

You're going early with the new avatar there, Bicks!

Just hopeful really as he's one that I really like because he is as tough as they come and has both a top class inside and top class outside game..... and realistically speaking a chance to be there around our pick when others I like a lot Paddy Dow, LDU and Cerra will be long gone IMO. If we go tall I'm a big gee up for Noah Balta, risky maybe but if things go right for him the reward could be immense, I see a lot of similarities between him and Alex Rance.

I saw the boys on a flight to Melbourne last week, obvious they were heading on a trip, lucky buggers.

Hunter wears a headband..........At least the new Carlton hair bun guy will be playing AFL not like the last Carlton bloke playing almost all games in the SANFL.

Add another to the list of brainwashed Crows fans who have no idea about football.

Fair to say Matt ain't superstitious. No way I'd change my number after the season he just had!

Crouch said he was thrilled to be continuing his career at West Lakes.

“I’m really pleased to be able to wear the Crows colours for the next four years at least,” Crouch said.

“The Club is a fantastic place to be with a committed playing and coaching group who are determined to achieve success.

“I’m excited for what the future holds and look forward to the start of Season 2018 already.”

General Manager List Management and Strategy Justin Reid was rapt to have Crouch commit to the Crows.

“Matt has developed into one of the premier midfielders in the competition and to have him around until at least 2021 is a great result for the Club,” Reid said.

“He has not only bought into but led the way with the Club’s team-first culture and helped create a really positive environment.

“At only 22 years of age his best football is still ahead of him and we are excited to continue to see him grow as a player and a leader.”
