Injury Brad Crouch injures his hamstring at training

Frustrating news however lets hope that we take a zero risk approach and don't rush him back
Because they're super fit?
That's the only reason they get picked isn't it?
Because they are lazy & need to pull there finger out
Crouch has got years ahead of him, so in one way it's just a temporary annoyance.
However, it really did piss me off when I heard the news, because what was obvious last week was that Crouch was starting to feel that he belonged at this level and could make an impact at this level.
Continuity and momentum are so important in a young player's development, and IMO we would have seen Crouch's game go to another level over the next 3 weeks by playing every week when full of confidence and self-belief.
While IMO that will still happen later this year, it could well take a few games to build up that momentum again.
As said previously, it's only a temporary annoyance, but nevertheless still an annoyance.

Brad Crouch hamstring injury?
DAMN IT
time to bring in Lyons for sure. Swapping he and Crouch doesn't change the age or experience profile of the team, and we must reward his good form of this year. TBH I screamed for his inclusion for half of last year, he's too good for SANFL, we know he'll be a major fixture of the team in the future, let's start his education now.

He'll come back hungrier and with the knowledge that he belongs at this level. Very sad news but (hopefully) an opportunity for somebody new to dip their feet in the AFL pool.
I wouldn't like to see Vince come back after one week in the SANFL.

Damn... looked like he had adjusted to the pace of AFL and was now ready to take the game on (like with that running goal). Very unlucky for Crouch.
ON THE OTHER HAND potentially very lucky for Lyons. It wasn't ideal for him to have a break out season last year when there were no injuries and the team was dominating. Now that a bit of fortune has come his way he needs to seize the opportunity.

If he only does miss a fortnight, you would think GWS would be the perfect way to bring him back in, even if via the best.
I can't believe there are still people who think van Berlo is a crappy player.

Let's not de-rail this thread with VB nonsense, has anyone found out about the extent of Crouch's injury yet?

Nethertheless, he is our best "run with player" and IMO he is not easily covered, far from it. He would no doubt have been given the job on one of Carlton's vast array of quality mids.
i think if a player misses 2 weeks they should come straight back in. any more than that and they probably need a week in the SANFL. (except for a handful of legit stars).
more serious injuries are case by case.
That's because we all love the potential that Crouch brings to the table. Everyone loves to watch a young gun take those first steps into their AFL career, and look at home while doing it.
In terms of winning matches in 2013, however, van Berlo's injury is much more devastating than Crouch's.
Just finished a browse through the teams stats player by player to see who has dropped off since last year.
Vb tackle stats this year appalling. .. dropped off in other areas to.

It wasn't on the serious side of hanstrings strains.
