Stats
Bio
A product of the local Essendon Juniors, Joel "Tommy" Crow was a diminutive footballer who struggled to cement a long-term position at the elite level during the VFL's formative years. After managing just four senior appearances for the Same Olds in 1908, Crow missed the entire 1909 season before seeking a fresh start with Melbourne the following year. Standing at just 173cm, he was a lightly built utility who added depth to the Fuchsias' lineup but could not secure a permanent spot in the side, adding only seven more caps to his tally. Following his brief VFL career, Crow found greater continuity in the Association, eventually transferring to Essendon Association and later Hawthorn to continue his football journey in the VFA.
