Bloody hell

Crows midfielder Brad Crouch will be sidelined for about two months after undergoing foot surgery.

Crouch, who consulted a specialist today, suffered a fracture in his left foot during the first quarter of the NAB Challenge win over Port Adelaide.

Crows Head of Football David Noble said Crouch had been in good form and fitness having completed his first full pre-season since joining the Club.

"Brad has had an unfortunate run with injury in recent years but we know that he will attack his rehabilitation with enthusiasm and look to get back as soon as possible," Noble said.

Crouch, who was runner-up for the AFL Rising Star award in 2013 when he made his AFL debut, has played 25 AFL games

Bad luck. Wish him a flawless surgery and rehab with no reoccurrences.

Man can this guy catch a break, please! Hoping he has a speedy recovery and is back soon.

On the flip side looks like it's time for a fringe player to step up to the big time, looking at you Lyons, Grigg and CEY.

 

[Magma]

boy has zero luck

 

[PrideOf]

Shit.

 

[pjcrows]

Crucial

 

[MRB37]

Far out, hopefully his end with injuries ends some time soon. Such a great player to have out there.

 

[SmegHead]

Poor guy, should be well on the way to his ton and in the leadership group. Just terrible luck.

Man can this guy catch a break, please!

Actually, thats the problem.

8 weeks. Spewing.

 

[tangolikelama]

Sorry guys, such shit news. He was one of the players I was looking forward to most this year... hopefully he can have a good recovery and impact later this season.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

God damn it

 

[mrmatt]

Lots of swear words in various combinations yelled very loudly

 

[Allefgib]

gah. Chin up Crouchy... hit the midseason break and bring us home for a finals run
(oh yeah.. ****ITY **** ****)

 

[baldandbroke]

He does still get the benefits of a great pre-season ... so he will be ready to go once the foot is fixed up.

Was really looking forward to seeing him in the centre of the AFC midfield, we'll just have to wait a couple of extra months.

 

[mattymac]

On the positive side he might have a week or two in the SANFL then come back for Freo in Round 9. We don't have that many big games before then (North and the showdown). After round 9 we've got Freo, Hawks, Cats, another showdown and Sydney in quick succession. So at least he'll be back when we need him most. But geez would've been great for him to be able to build through the early rounds

Potential wise one of the most natural footballers the club has ever seen.

Something as innocuous as changing direction and bam. 2 months.

Got to love being a Crows fan.

 

[Pugsley]

Frygfggghgffgggjgffcgb !!!!!!!!!!!

That's my 6 month old saying not happy.

 

[spexau]

And just before we thought we got through the pre-season relatively unscathed

 

[FantasticShirt]

This is devastating. Was so amped to watch this guy play a full season on the back of a solid pre season. ****. Turd. Penis.

And just before we thought we got through the pre-season relatively unscathed

Tell that to the Reilly family.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Good thing we drafted his brother too.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Crap - just when he has had a decent pre-season.

Really hope this does not become a perennial problem.

Great opportunity now for Lyons, cey & bob.

 

[FantasticShirt]

Maybe this is just a way of AFL gods saying that the community just isn't ready for both Crouch brothers to play at the same time? Too much power.

 

[Crazy 4 Crow]

Damn it!
