[8] After struggling with hamstring injuries early in the season, he played the last 10 games in succession, immediately establishing himself as one of the club's premier midfielders, and winning an AFL Rising Star nomination in round 14 after a breakout performance against Gold Coast which included 31 possessions and a game-high 6 tackles.

In 2014 he suffered a fractured leg in the round two Showdown,[14] which allowed his brother Matt Crouch to make his debut the next week.

The two brothers played together at senior level for the first time in the SANFL for the Crows' reserves side in Round 9 when Crouch had recovered from his latest injury.

[26] Crouch suffered a hamstring injury in 2017 that ruled him out of the entire pre-season and put him in doubt for round 1 of the regular season.

[27] He played in the SANFL for the first few rounds of the season due to concerns that he would struggle in the AFL after missing a large amount of the pre-season.

[32] In the final round of the home and away season in the last AFL game ever played at Subiaco Oval, Crouch and his brother needed a combined 60 disposals to break a record for the most disposals in an AFL season by brothers, previously held by Kane Cornes and Chad Cornes from cross-town rivals Port Adelaide.

Crouch received a season-high 18 of a possible 20 medal votes in Adelaide’s win over Richmond in Round 13, collecting a career-high 43 disposals, 11 clearances, six inside-50s and four rebound-50s.

Crouch averaged a career-best 30.2 disposals (ranked eighth across the AFL home and away season) and finished second at the Club for clearances and tackles with totals of 117 and 111.

[35] At the conclusion of the season, Crouch's management explored potential suitors at rival clubs which eventually culminated in a requested a trade to the Gold Coast Suns following interest from St Kilda and Geelong.

Crouch, along with former teammate Tyson Stengle was reprimanded in October 2020 for 'conduct unbecoming' after both were searched by South Australian Police on 28 September and found to be in possession of an illicit substance.

[38] On 21 October, Crouch nominated St Kilda as his preferred destination during the Free Agency Period following a contract offer from the club.

Crouch was a restricted free agent under AFL rules, meaning the Crows were able to match the contract offer from the Saints to force a trade.

Crouch had also attracted interest from Geelong, Richmond and Port Adelaide, although it is understood that only the Saints were prepared to offer a five-year contract.

In round 12 against the Swans, Crouch had a prolific game collecting 38 disposals, 14 contested possessions, 7 clearances, 7 tackles and 12 score involvements.

[46] After being delisted at the end of the 2024 season, Crouch was re-drafted through the Rookie Draft, however subsequently announced his immediate retirement on 26 November due to degenerative knee issues.
