The Crows have the opportunity to match any rival offer for Doedee, who is a restricted free agent, when the AFL’s free agency period opens on Friday, October 6.

Crows General Manager List Management and Strategy Justin Reid said the Club would assess its options in order to secure the best possible outcome during the free agency window and the Continental Tyres AFL Trade Period which begins on Monday, October 9.
