How come he slipped to 23?

How come he slipped to 23?

recruiters are on crack

"too slow"

"too slow"

a shame really or would have been top 5

[McRooster]

"too slow"

yeah, and Darren Jarman was a total racehorse 😜

This recruitment is more than the player at hand (he might turn out to be a Nathan Ablett) but it is a positive move that will galvanise the clubs direction. Danger (our next Captain) was tweeting his excitement as soon as  Matt's name was read out.

Welcome BOB (brother of brad)

Indeed Crouch will likely do a lot better playing with his brother rather than any other club

I really wish we had access to the full  draft camp stats, rather than just top 10.

But speed really is important- at lower levels, not so much, but slower players struggle notably at the elite level, how often do you see gun possession winners at like VFl level just do poorly at AFL level?  and Crouch's decrease in possessions in the U18 against better quality opposition are a little worrying (unless he was carrying injury? I know he got injured in TAC at one point, but I don't know about U18s).

Speed's probably one of the harder things to improve on... endurance, strength, accuracy are all aspects you could have flaws in, but would be significantly easier to improve on than like a 20m sprint time.

I heard on the grapevine that crouch's 20m sprint time was notably slow, like only just in the top 50% at the draft camp or something. Could just be a rumour though.

Also heard Matt on 5AA, said he won't be moving into Tex and Brad's house, "Don't think we want to go there"  :P
