Gun Crows midfielder Matt Crouch says he is confident his brother Brad will turn his back on interstate offers and remain at Adelaide.
After making his return from a serious injury Brad has shone for the Crows in the midfield this year.
This has not gone unnoticed among other AFL clubs and last week Crouch revealed St Kilda were considering making a play for him.
There has been suggestions that the Crows cannot fit both the Crouch brothers in their midfield and they should look at trading one of them to get leg-speed in the middle of the ground.

Matt said those views didn’t bother him, or his brother who he expected to remain at West Lakes.
“It doesn’t really worry me or Brad,” he said.
“We are really happy at the Adelaide Football Club, it’s water off a duck’s back.
“He (Brad) loves it in Adelaide his girlfriend is from Adelaide, he has another year on his contract.
“There always going to be clubs talking to managers during the season but I’m confident of him being here.”
The Crows are set to have Alex Keath available for selection after he missed the past two with an ankle injury while Eddie Betts and Kyle Hartigan have shrugged off knocks sustained against St Kilda on Saturday and will be able to take on West Coast on Sunday.
