Herald Sun journalist Sam Edmund has revealed that Richmond could be plotting a shock move for Adelaide midfielder Brad Crouch.
Crouch, 24, had an injury plagued 2018 season, failing to register a single game due to a troublesome groin problem.
“Brad Crouch is another name that keeps coming up in conversation,” Edmund told SEN Breakfast.
“The Adelaide midfielder, injury riddled it must be said, hasn’t played at all this year, but there are whispers around him perhaps being on the move this off-season as well.
“I’ve heard the Tigers might have an interest for Brad Crouch.”
Essendon great Tim Watson says the Tigers have hit the jackpot if they were to secure Crouch on top of the likely arrival of Gold Coast forward Tom Lynch.
"They’re going to land Tom Lynch and if they were to land somebody like Brad Crouch in the off-season as well, they’ve done very well," Watson said.
Crouch, who played a key role in the Crows’ run to last year’s Grand Final, is contracted until the end of 2020.
