Adelaide Crows Head of Football Adam Kelly isn’t ruling out Brad Crouch remaining at the club despite the star mid announcing he wants to move to St Kilda during the upcoming trade period.
Asked on the FIVEAA sports show about the possibility of keeping Crouch, who has previously spoken about his reluctance to leave Adelaide, Kelly told Rowey & Bicks:
“We’re open to it. First and foremost we’ve got to consider whether we match the offer. That being the case… there’s then two possibilities. One is that Brad remains a player at the footy club, or otherwise we force a trade with St Kilda. Those options are going to have to be considered during that process…
“He’s a very good player and we’re not in the business of giving away good players without being adequately compensated. That’s certainly something we need to be looking at…
“Brad is a very good player, best and fairest winner at the club, and we would like to be adequately compensated if he is to leave… if it’s not pick two we need to seriously consider matching the offer…”
