*rankings are at Freo and players must have played at least four games to qualify.
Highlight – Crowley played his 150th game for the club in round 12, making him eligible for life membership at Freo.
Summary – Another brilliant season by the best tagger in the business. Crowley regularly shutdown the elite midfielders, just as he had done in his Doig Medal-winning 2012 season.
Finals
Qualifying Final – 11 disposals
Preliminary Final – 22 disposals, 5 tackles, 1 goal
Grand Final – 15 disposals, 2 marks
Summary: Geelong’s Steve Johnson, Sydney’s Kieran Jack and Hawthorn’s Sam Mitchell were all kept well in check by the glove in the finals series.
Outlook: Crowley is at the top of his game as a tagger. He has improved the offensive part of his game over the years and he’ll continue to try and hit the scoreboard to hurt his opponents.
