St Kilda is now leading the race for Brad Crouch, according to Kane Cornes.
With Geelong now prioritising Jeremy Cameron and Port Adelaide not particularly keen, Cornes reports that the Saints are the ones putting the best offer to the 2019 Adelaide best and fairest right now.
“I was thinking yesterday before I made a couple of phone calls – what’s going to happen to Brad Crouch?” he told SEN SA Breakfast.
“We spoke to Port Adelaide, they’re out pretty much, as emphatically out as you can possibly be. Basically the terms of Brad’s contract are too great at the moment.
“Then I read yesterday that Geelong are out. The Herald Sun reporting that Geelong are out with Jeremy Cameron and Shaun Higgins going to the Cats.
“So I did make a couple of phone calls and there is now a leading contender for the services of Crouch and it’s the St Kilda Football Club.
“They’re leading the services for Crouch on a really good contract. What I’m hearing is somewhere between $600,000 and $700,000.
“I haven’t seen often a player deal with leaving a football club like Brad has dealt with it … Brad he just wants out for the biggest figure, he doesn’t care where he plays, which is unusual.”
