We had an absolute ball of a time recording it with him. He had us in stitches the entire time.

Thankyou much..love Crowley..such a purple machine and a true gentleman...
I actually really loved how, despite how it all ended, he still absolutely bleeds purple.

That's a great interview, nice work. Funny how he checked up on the abusive guy on Twitter? after not hearing from him for a couple of weeks.
I liked Crowl's take on events and people, it was a tough job he did and made the best of it. Self aware enough to know "it was his seat on the bus"
And well done everyone at his final game that gave him the standing ovation.

After all the tagger talk, the guy could still bust loose and kick a goal.

I'm only half way through but this is brilliant - thank you!
Funnily enough, I was having lunch at the Royal waterfront in East Perth a few months ago one friday afternoon, and who should be a few tables down but the man himself, just having a quiet drink with mates. I made the mistake of low-key alerting a work colleague I was with - and so naturally, they preceded to reminisce (loudly and belligerently) to all of us about the time Trent Cotchin tweeted about when he was seated next to Crowley on the plane, as well as the whole backstory in every detail for those who don't follow Footy (and don't even care)...
This was all in clear earshot of Crowls.. who in all likelihood was thinking, "what a peanut". I can honestly say I haven't been in a more awkward position in years. Poor bastard probably gets stupid shit like that all the time.
Bumped/pushed him in the back, unfortunately Templeton hit his head on concrete and was bleeding from the brain.
Ambulance came, game called off. Poor Templeton, feel for him, shockingly unlucky injury

Yes that is part of what we didn't get to. So much we couldn't cover and that is why there is more to come, probably next year.
AFLW: Steph Cain reveals why she left Fremantle in favour of Essendon ahead of return home to face Eagles

Steph Cain never thought she’d leave Fremantle.
But she also never thought she’d have to grow up so quickly.
While preparing for the 2018 season, her second at the Dockers after initially being delisted and then re-drafted, Cain’s mum passed away.
It threatened to turn her career upside down but Cain is resilient and compiled several strong seasons in purple before tearing her ACL in the opening round of 2020.
Again she bounced back and made the wing her own, playing a key role in the Fremantle outfit that made a preliminary final earlier this year.
In amongst the heartbreak of an early exit, the 26-year-old was presented with one of the most difficult decisions she’d had to make: Stay at the Dockers or start again at expansion club Essendon.

“I wasn’t intending to move to begin with, to be completely honest,” Cain said.
“But you and your manager go through the process. At the end of the day, I’ve had to grow up pretty quickly for personal reasons.
“I was involved at Fremantle at the start. I was a 19-year-old back then finding my way. Now I’m 26 and have been in the competition for a number of years.
“So for all different reasons, it was a decision I had to make.”
Since arriving at Tullamarine, the 26-year-old has been appointed the club’s inaugural co-captain alongside Bonnie Toogood.
She’s also been afforded the opportunity to play as an inside midfielder, a position she filled once last season at Fremantle, winning a career-high 21 disposals.
Despite post-season knee clean-up surgery, Cain was ready to play in Essendon’s round one win over Hawthorn and was then thrown on-ball against Carlton.
“I want that opportunity. At Fremantle, it probably wasn’t afforded to me until last season due to different circumstances,” she said.
“I just want to continue to get better, so adding inside contested footy is something I want to improve on.”

Essendon are chasing their first win over an established side on Sunday against West Coast at Mineral Resources Park.
Back in her familiar surrounds of Perth, Cain believes the Bombers can fly.
“We want to prove ourselves to the rest of the competition and that’s beating established teams,” she said.
“We’re also focusing on ourselves so trying to get that win and cement our hard work is key.”
West Coast have made two changes for Indigenous Round.
Amateur recruit Eleanor Hartill will debut and forward Aimee Schmidt returns from concussion, the pair replacing Beth Schilling and Emily Bennett.
