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

[George Kramer]

The ‘inner belief’ that helped spark Crouch’s resurgence



Mentions working on his deficiencies and trying to be more attacking with the ball. Sounds about right - some of his I50 passes in the preseason and end of season were sublime.

Yep the turnaround is a credit to him. If he keeps that up in 2024 our midfield will be a lot stronger.

Saw Matt at West Lakes on Sunday. Think there's already been reports of this, but he looks very slim

He seems incredibly determined to do whatever it takes. Good on him. I think it's been humbling, and he's taken it all on board.

Third time works a charm

Was a big supporter of him for a long time, always been hard worker but wanted him gone last year after watching his hospital stationary backwards passes. He is a new player now. With him in the team we could have finished 6-0 but the 3 games we lost were

Keaysgate
Brisbane at Gabba, 5 more scoring shots
Melb at MCG, more scoring shots and disgraceful umpiring.

Cant wait for him to tear up in my supercoach team

Crouch paired with Dawson is mental, you won’t be beating crouch for a hardball, Dawson on the outside for a handball recieve.

Yeah I'm optimistic what Crouch, Laird, Dawson, Pedlar, Rachele, Soligo combo can do.

It's the role I hope the coaching staff have clearly define for Matt, it's where he does his best work. I feel that's where it went wrong in his career in a sense of either the coaching staff or himself decided to try make him more outside without doing the inside stuff which isn't what we need.

Hope he picks up just where he left off in 2023 though, he's been persistent.

Would be awesome, but we all know Keays Laird Sloane will be Nicks' go-to core. Hopefully not though.

Keays didn't play much midfield this year....as was moved up forward.

Sloane did attend too many CBA'S. Looks only good for sub role when the pace has gone out of the game.
