"With Finnbar we were really pleased to get a deal across the line, given what we've seen from him," Crows GM List Management Justin Reid said.
"With plenty of height and a strong set of hands, he'll be a valuable addition to our squad.
"We're excited to see what Finnbar can achieve at our Club."
Maley kicked four goals across his seven games and averaged 6.6 disposals per game and 2.7 marks per game.
He was selected in the 2023 rookie draft by the Kangaroos, from the Northern Bullants, and has featured in 22 VFL games for the Kangaroos.
He was left in limbo by the Kangaroos, along with Will Phillips, as he wasn't offered a contract for 2026, but will join the Crows on a one-year deal.
The trade will leave the Crows with Picks 16, 48, 55, 64, 73, 75, 93, and 111.
The 2025 trade period will come to a close on Wednesday, 7:30 pm (AEDT).
