Crouch - The AkerMenace

[voodooguru]

Have I missed any news on Crouchy? How long's it been since he's played?

Would voodoo help him or is he too far gone (forever)?

The last time he played was againest the Bulldogs and i'm pretty sure he hasn't played in the reserves since then. I'm not sure what is up with him..

One thing that has become really evident this year is that older players are really struggling to keep up witb the pace of modern footy, and they take a lot longer to come back from injuries than ever before. Crouchy is our long term worry.

fit for tagging in the more important games coming up.

Yes! Read today that he was available. Not only is he a good tagger but also very damaging on rebound/turnover.

It might take him even longer to get back into the senior side, but if he plays well at the reserves for like 2/3 weeks in a row, its likely he'll be back in the side. However, I'm not sure if he's mentally back. The game changes all the time and the last time he played was against the Bulldogs, he needs to retain intensity seeing we are only 5 rounds before finals. Finals is a whole different game and if Crouchy is still in resting mode, I don't think it would be wise for him to play although he is an experienced player and dangling on 199 games. (Would've he been the first AFL player ever to reach 200 games the fastest?)

Only time will tell! But hell, I wouldn't mind seeing him back in the side. He's likely to replace Bevan anyway.

Did he play today? Didn't see him in the goalkickers or best lists.

Apparently he did play.
