Brad Crouch was a bright spark for Adelaide in 2019, the 25-year-old producing a career-best season in his return from injury.

After a groin injury kept him on the sidelines for the entirety of 2018, Crouch returned to AFL football in Round One and never looked back.

He averaged 30.2 disposals - a career-best - across his 22 games and finished second at the Club for clearances with a total of 117 and tackles with 111.

The midfielder also finished with 86 inside-50s - the most of any Crow - to go with 11 goals.

In Round 17, he recorded 16 tackles in Adelaide’s 95-point win over the Gold Coast Suns. 

Crouch topped the Club for coaches votes in 2019, finishing with 51 for the season, after polling votes in 11 games.

He also earned four selections in the AFL Team of the Week - the most of any Crow in 2019.
