A Gold Coast Suns Academy product, Crossley has gone from strength to strength since his 2015 Under 16’s National Carnival.
2017 was a true breakthrough year for Crossley, who became an under-18 All Australian who played in the All Stars game at the MCG – the curtain-raiser to the grand final.
Crossley may not have the 205cm-plus height modern AFL ruckman have but at 199cm but he possesses a stronger 102kg frame that has coaches comparing him to GWS big man Shane Mumford and Richmond’s Toby Nankervis.
