Profile

Crouch Jr. had a slow start to 2015 after ankle surgery in the off season and he failed to cement his spot in the Crows midfield until the final six games of the year. He continued to show his ball winning ability but not quite to the extent some might have hoped, being unable to crack 100 for the season. Five sub scores mean that he is underpriced coming into 2016 with a non-vest average of 85.7. Matt will be at a tricky price and his place in the side still isn't 100% given his brother will be back in the mix. However, he will benefit from the scraping of the sub rule and has every chance of pushing beyond 90 which would result in a healthy price rise.

Pros - Natural progression, undervalued

Cons - JS not concrete, poor kick/handball ratio


Prediction - 85-89
