Recommitted Matt Crouch [signs 2 year deal]

[Jhye Clark 13]

Ah ok, my mistake. I knew they played together in junior days. I figured they were both from same area. Bachus Marsh is a fair distance.

It's only 45 minutes away so it's possible he went to school in Ballarat.

Brad Johnson lived in Hoppers Crossing and went to school in Geelong.

Finished the year with another 31 touch game

Apparently Sydney are keen...

But Crouch is hopeful of staying - rightly wants more than a 1 year deal. Expect Crows will offer a 2nd year.

It amazes me how people look at handballs as some sort of negative.
Andrew Jarman was a wizard inside, and used alot of handballs. Diesel Williams was how good a player? And used lots of handballs.
Players like Matt are the first line of attack. They get the ball out of the play and out to another team mate. If you can't get the ball in the first place, you ain't gonna get anywhere.
The AFL and some of the lesser knowledge fans go on these trends. Can't have a inside mid who gets 35 possessions a week if they have a higher handball ratio and arnt speedy, they all need to be speed demons who only kick the ball.
Mids must be over 190cms tall.
You don't want a full forward. The game has moved on from them.

Totally different era Back then.

Andrew Jarman wasnt known for his pace or quickness. He had quickness between the ears. No issues getting 25-30 disposals a game where half your disposals were hand passes. His Brother Darren Jarman wasnt known for his pace either. More known for his accurate kicking.

Norwood Legend Garry McIntosh stood at 172 cm. He wasnt known for his pace. He was known for his leadership and toughness. He had quickness between the ears, he was a smart footballer.

Linked to Swans today.

Which makes sense as they were monster's by big mids in last year's GF.

Plug. Play. Instant improvement.

Bernie Vince claims he will sign a deal with Crows before the end of this week.

THis is like a ex going back to the boyfriend whose already cheated on her twice

Time for Crouch to move on from this toxic relationship

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

He was shopped around last year and there was no interest in him and according to Tom Morris, there's no interest in him again this year.

Yeah but this time nicks said sorry so its all different now

 

[Eddie Murphy]

My guess is he only wanted to move out of Adelaide if he could be guaranteed game time which put clubs off?

I laughed but this is one of the better descriptions of our relationship with Matt Crouch post-2017.

It's now the end of this week, is there a signed contract waiting to be announced?

I'd hope we'd go after him. 2 year deal for a guy who is a natural ball winner. Danger can play more forward and rest through games.

Bernie of course could also be full of s**t.
Hopefully not though.

 

[Anzacpaul]

Please someone take him.

 

[Freomaniac]

Please someone take him.

I wouldnt mind him at the dockers. Chuck him a 3 year deal at $500-$600,000 a year. Bloke is a depth player that can play both inside and outside.

Crows get pick 30-32 as a compo pick.

 

[Jimmy Yamazaki]

Please someone take him.

I'd take him at the Cats, but it seems like we aren't interested.

 

[Alwaysacrow]

Please someone take him.

Crows midfield has been much better with him in it in the last 5 weeks or so. Strong rumours around now that he's staying put.

 

[Adnico26Parker]

Please someone take him.

Sydney have been trying!

I disagree, and also don't care if he turns into Chris Judd at a new club. Best of luck to him.

We've spend the last 6 years outside of the 8 and the last thing we need going into 2024 is Matt Crouch and Rory Sloane taking midfield minutes from Berry, Soligo, Rachele, Schoenberg, Rankine etc.

He was shopped around last year and there was no interest in him and according to Tom Morris, there's no interest in him again this year.

Apparently that was enough to scare the AFC football department into offering an extra year over the one year deal he'd asked for and not earned.

AFL should step in and null the contract

Save himself from himself

I told you all. Matty nicks said sorry and he means it this time. It won't happen again he promises
