Crows members have voted Matt Crouch as their Most Valuable Player for Season 2017.

Crouch claimed the 19^th Man Award ahead of three-time winner Rory Sloane, 2015 recipient Rory Laird and ultra-consistent ruckman Sam Jacobs.

At just 22 years of age, Crouch established himself among the AFL’s elite.

He played every game and averaged a career-best 33 disposals, six clearances and five tackles.

He was selected alongside teammates Laird and Eddie Betts in the All Australian team.

In the Grand Final, Crouch broke the AFL record for most disposals in a season (825), surpassing Collingwood champion Dane Swan’s mark of 820 in 2010.

The left-footer collected a career-high 45 disposals against West Coast in Round 23, and amassed 30 or more possessions in 19 of his 25 games.

He ranked No.1 at Adelaide for contested possessions (336), hard-ball gets (145) and handball receives (391), and second for clearances (144) and effective disposals (593).

Crouch notched up his 50^th AFL game in the Round Three win over Port Adelaide.
