Adelaide - Matt Crouch (Malcolm Blight Medal) Finishing second to All-Australian rebounding-defender Rory Laird last year, the bulky midfielder is set for another big season. Putting yet another pre-season under his belt, the 23 year-old will have to fight off fellow midfielders Rory Sloane, Bryce Gibbs as well as Laird to claim his second Malcolm Blight Medal. We all know he is certainly up for it.
