Jared Crouch Biography

Retired premiership Swan Marty Mattner will move into a role within Sydney's development department while Jared Crouch will become the head of development.

Adam Goodes urges his teammates to rally for retiring Swans Michael O'Loughlin, Leo Barry and Jared Crouch in their final game for the club against Brisbane.

"I really want to enjoy it, and the only way you can really enjoy it is winning games of football and really trying hard," Goodes said.

"I really hope the blokes switch on and learn from what's happened today and give 110 per cent next week for four quarters.

"I know that's what I'll be aiming to do and I just hope that everyone else can do that for 'Mickey O', Leo and 'Crouchie'."

Swan Jared Crouch has informed his teammates of his decision to call an end to his career.

''No, it really wasn't a tough decision to make,'' Crouch said.

''I pretty much knew in pre-season this was going to be my last season - that I was going to retire - it was just a matter of when you tell everyone. And that's what it had come down to: when you do it. After having a chat with a few people, now seems the right time to do it.''

Scott Welsh and Brian Lake are considering all options and may decide to fight their one-match bans at the tribunal .

The match review panel handed down the bans after viewing footage from Saturday's match against the Sydney Swans, with Welsh charged with rough conduct against Jared Crouch, and Lake charged with tripping Jarrad Moore.

Senior coach Paul Roos will replace injured defender Jared Crouch with youngster Kristin Thornton this weekend.

Sydney Swans coach Paul Roos believes Jared Crouch will return to senior football after recovering from his hamstring injury.

Even Jared Crouch admits if the Swans were to give him a contract extension beyond this, his final year, they would be "crazy". But that doesn't mean the member of Sydney's "aging" player group does not want or intend to be around beyond 2009.
