Adelaide star Matt Crouch is tipped to follow in the footsteps of his brother and depart West Lakes in taking up his free agency rights.
According to SEN's Sam Edmund, the Crows midfielder has reportedly been placed on offer to rival clubs in hope of gauging interest from potential suitors.
Edmund reports that the Crows are "open" to the idea, prompting strong belief the 26-year-old won't be at the club next season.

A restricted free agent, Crouch could opt for a return to his home state of Victoria at season's end, a path his brother Brad took in 2020, moving to St Kilda from Adelaide.
“It’s increasingly likely that he (Crouch) is going to be on the move,” Edmund said.
“His brother Brad moved to Victoria as a restricted free agent last year – Matt set to follow this year.
“He’s been shopped to rival clubs to see who’s interested. The Crows are open to it too.”
The Crows front office are understood to have tabled Crouch a new deal past this season.
The 2017 Malcolm Blight medallist will not feature for Matthew Nicks' side this season after requiring groin surgery.
Crouch has played 125 games for the Crows since making his debut in 2014, going on to earn an All-Australian jacket in 2017.
Should Crouch depart, he will join veteran forward Tom Lynch in calling this year as their last at the club.
Adelaide announced earlier this week that Lynch would not be offered a contract for the 2022 season.
