Discussion Re-Signings, Retirements, Delistings, Trade & Drafting

ST KILDA has confirmed the premature retirement of midfielder Brad Crouch due to chronic knee issues.

Crouch played in round one this year against Geelong but missed the rest of the season and underwent arthroscopic surgery to address ongoing degenerative knee issues.

The injury eventually became too much for the 30-year-old, who has called time on his 161-game career.

Hang on, didn't St Kikda only just re-list him picking him up in the recent rookie draft?

Yeh another part of the article

"We've been working with Brad for several months now as he has worked through his knee issues and we were hoping that we could get him back to a place where he could make an impact on-field, which is why we retained his place via our rookie list.

"However, we respect that Brad needs to think about his long-term health first and support him in this decision.

Yes, but apparently there is a technicality that provides the Saints some salary cap relief by doing this.

It's such a beautiful day. We may have been completely embarrassed in the GF but it's all worth it now!

Believe it's like a stretch provision that they can spread over a couple of seasons. Sydney did the same thing with Tippett a couple of years back.

I was wondering about the avatar change. Not sure I could switch to a rival team to support, no matter how badly the Hawks go.

Be interesting to see if Horse has been shoulder tapped as the initial Tassie coach or not yet.
