[FR0GGY]

Was it Campbell brown who said a few weeks ago he’s out for the year and needs surgery?

Adelaide midfielder Brad Crouch will undergo surgery next week after not being able to significantly improve during his rehabilitation from groin soreness.

Crows Head of Football Brett Burton said the decision had been made this week with Crouch’s long-term future in mind.

“Unfortunately, Brad’s injury is not responding as well as we would have liked to the strengthening program that we have been undertaking,” Burton said.

“We have decided surgery is the best course of action given this latest setback.

“The decision was made after speaking with Brad, his family, and the team of medical specialists and surgeons who have been examining him and exploring all other alternatives over the last few months.

“As always, the health and welfare of our players is paramount.”

The Club will provide more information, including an expected recovery period, once surgery has been completed

The club is a little behind on their emails

Comments anyone?

Soften the blow with Darcy Fogarty contract extension announcement at exactly the same time.

Fog probably signed that paper in December.

Came for the melts.

Have been disappointed

Have been disappointed

We already knew the ending mate

So do we find out that Brodie Smith actually had his leg amputated in December soon.

Hands up anyone who was shocked by this announcement?

Was more of a sure thing than Mackay being picked first each week.

 

[GROTTO]

Bad news then good news. Straight out of the playbook. Crouch surgery but Fogarty contract

Yeah he’s played at least one quality game since 2014.

We have three players with chronic groin problems.

We tried rest and rehab with Seedsman last year and (touch wood) he is in the best form of his career.

We were able to draft McPherson because other clubs were concerned about his body. The jury is out but he is meant to play this week.

Brad went down the Seedsman path and it hasn’t worked. With the benefit of hindsight, surgery at the end of last season would have have been better.

Everyone can be a Monday morning quarterback.

I wonder when they realised it was OP for Brad?

Abdominal instability is often a cause of OP, especially excessive strengthening of the abs.

Didn't Brad have an abdominal injury initially? Was this another mismanaged strengthening program by Haas and Burton?

Wouldn't suprise me in the least.

I’m glad he’s having surgery. Atleast that’s out of our doctors and high performance hands, thank ****. Never had confidence to turn him around with Stevie wonder and ray Charles at the PPT helm just using their ‘nouse’. Get it done and out of the way, and for god sake keep Burton at 100 feet at all times.

 

[Schulzycrow]

Not surprised. Rotten luck Crouch has had. Lucky we got his brother who is going to be better.

 

[Donkey Magoo]

We're in safe hands. I just found their anatomical chart.

So who’s fault is this...no one, Brads, Haas and/or Burton?
Brad was getting close to peak fitness at the end last years final series. So what happened over off season. He should have been thoroughly monitored through his pre season build up.
Did Haas not have a good picture of his injury record?
Was Brads preseason buildup managed appropriately?
Was Burton so taken with his new role as footy boss to not engage properly with his replacement Haas?

I am somewhat what elitecrow would call a ‘Mary Poppins’ supporter, I always try to look for positives. But I am struggling to find to many with Burton. He overseas all these footy departments. Really Brad should be pissed and rightly so. I’ve got the shits with Burton and I don’t think I’m the only member that feels that way

Good luck Brad, hoping everything goes well for you.
Looking forward to watching your return next year.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Annus horribilis.

Yet somehow we're still 6-4 and breathing.

 

[Donkey Magoo]

I'm usually pretty chill when it comes to these things. But they have now proper broken my Brad Crouch and I want heads on spikes.

Not everything that goes wrong in life has to be someones fault. Unfortunately with Brad we have seen over the last 5 or so years that he simply does not have a body that copes with the rigors of AFL football. He has never managed to get through an entire pre season and has had all kinds of leg issues since he arrived. I really feel for him as he obviously loves the game and we would all love to see him reach his potential, but as a club and as a group of supporters I don't think we could honestly say we are confident that we will ever see it.

All the best for this young gun.
I truly hope the surgery is successful
