Profile

Unfortunately Crouch didn't become the fantasy golden boy we had hoped for in 2014 but that had more to do with injury, sub affected games and inexplicable non-selection rather than any lack of potential. The kid who regularly tore apart the TAC with 30+ disposal performances now looms as a potential high quality mid pricer if he can secure a spot in the 22. Surely this is just a formality because he is way too good to loiter in the SANFL where he gathered huge numbers almost at will throughout the year. Crouch is criminally undervalued for what he's capable of and should be highly considered.

Pros - Massive ball winner and has shown the ability to gather high tackle numbers

Cons - Yet to cement his position, poor kick/handball ratio


Prediction - 82-88

[Sweetness]

If you could guarantee him regular games next year I would probably take the gamble I reckon..
Serious leather poisoning.

[Ricochet]

Another kid that has a bucketload of potential. Not sure what price he'll be but might be just a bit too expensive to take the risk

[Spinking]

110 was a handy score while getting a vest!  :o

Will have a look depending on price, but not sure he will be cheap enough to convince me.

[Kellogscrunchynut]

I am convinced that this guy will average 100+ sometime in his career, that won't be next year but is a lock for me right now.

[kilbluff1985]

if named round 1 i might start him as a cash cow depending on price

[Mr.Craig]

I think he'll be priced about 375k.

[pommyadam]

I think he'll be priced about 375k.

as much as that?
I thought more around 330k (MN 5015), unless you think the MN will be around 5700
probably somewhere between the 2

Daisy-priced for me, which could be a good or bad thing = will be monitoring preseason (as well as NVB to come back into the Adelaide side)

I just went off Macrae who averaged 63.5 last year and was priced at $344,400 this year, so I think 375k will be about right for Crouch.
