Career
He currently serves as a development coach at the Sydney Swans. Having played for Norwood in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL), Crouch was selected by Sydney in the first round of the 1995 American Federation of Labor-Congress Draft. He did not make his senior debut until 1998, when he was called up to play against Collingwood in Round 7, having been originally selected as an emergency for that match.
Crouch"s first serious injury occurred in the first match of the 2004 International Rules series (played after the American Federation of Labor-Congress season had ended), when he broke a shoulder and it looked like his unbroken run in the American Federation of Labor-Congress would come to an education
However, Crouch was fit to play in the first game of the 2005 American Federation of Labor-Congress season, and played every game in Sydney"s premiership-winning season. His run finally ended when he was unavailable for Round 13 of the 2006 American Federation of Labor-Congress season.
His 194 consecutive games from debut is an American Federation of Labor-Congress record, and also places him fourth on the American Federation of Labor-Congress list for consecutive games generally. He was overtaken by team-mate Brett Kirk in 2010.
Crouch usually played in the back pocket, where he kept many well-known opponents quiet.
His consistency and professionalism saw him in the top 10 of the Swans" best and fairest count six years in a row, but his only recognition from outside the club was selection in the International Rules team that played Ireland in 2003 and 2004. Crouch announced his retirement from football from the end of the 2009 American Federation of Labor-Congress season.
