Mystery continues to surround the circumstances of Ryan Crowley’s off-field troubles, with the Fremantle tagger still unavailable to play for the AFL club.
Crowley didn’t play in last week’s pre-season win over Melbourne, and he was again overlooked for Sunday’s NAB Challenge clash with Sydney at Drummoyne Oval.
The 31-year-old has rarely been spotted training with the main group in recent weeks, but it seems an off-field issue rather than an injury has been behind his omission from Fremantle’s practice games.
Coach Ross Lyon was reluctant to delve into the issue when questioned about it on Friday.
“He’s working through an issue that doesn’t see him available to play at the minute,” Lyon said.
“We’re really supportive, but I’m not in a position to comment any further.
“He’ll be training. We’re not too fussed. Players are pretty resilient.
“We’re really supportive of each other.
“You wear the purple, you’re part of our family so to speak.”
When pressed on the matter, Lyon said: “Am I talking Swahili? I’ll be making no further comments.
“If you want to take it any further up the chain you can contact our CEO but I’m sure he’ll have the same position.”
