Brad and Matt Crouch share a healthy sibling rivalry, but more than anything else just want to play some football together.

Matt, the younger Crouch, joined his brother at the Crows after the 2013 National Draft.

A couple of frustrating years with injury for Brad has meant before this season the boys from Ballarat had only played one AFL game together, when Matt started as the substitute in Round 23, 2014.

The pair combined for 47 possessions, 13 clearances and a goal in Showdown XL on Saturday.

The older Crouch told The Crows Show the two brothers were keen to string some games together in 2016.

“I think we are both looking forward to playing a lot of footy together,” Brad said.

“It’s been a little bit frustrating the past couple of years that we haven’t had too many opportunities.

“We are both keen as mustard to hopefully get out there and string a season together.”

The brothers have recently moved in with each other and both have learnt to put their competitive edges to one side for the good of the household.

“Being the younger brother you always cop a bit,” Matt said.

“We’ve had a couple of good blues over the years but now we are pretty good.

“We’ve got to put up with each other’s company a fair bit now. Because we live together and spend a lot of time together we’ve got to get along pretty well.”

As for who does the most housework.

“We like to share the load with the cooking and cleaning,” Matt said.

“I guess if one cooks the other one cleans, that’s generally the rule in the house.”
