The Run Is Over
It had to end some time but to be honest no one was expecting it to be this week and like this. Therefore a shoulder injury picked up late in the match against Collingwood, number 194 in a row since his debut against Collingwood in Round 7 of 1998 meant the long running streak of Jared Crouch is over and with it any hope his had of braking the All-Time AFL record held by Jim Stynes.
Still to play this many games in a row is amazing considering the amount of time he has taken injuries into games, (some requiring last minute jabs just to play) most famously last years Grand Final and of course his race against time to be fit to play Round One last year after braking his Collarbone in the International Rules Series against Ireland which failed to heal at first requiring a second op.
No doubt the rest will do him good and he'll be back and pissing off small forwards and Aker alike for years to come.
