Ryan Crowley (born March 5, 1984) is an Australian rules footballer. He plays as a midfielder, half forward flanker or small forward and began his Football career at Calder Cannons Football Club in the TAC Cup.

[edit] Fremantle Career

Ryan played 12 AFL games in 2005. He was first drafted by Fremantle in 2002 with selection 55 at the national draft. At the end of 2004, having only played WAFL football for Subiaco, he was delisted. However the club gave Crowley a second chance and re-selected him with their 3rd pick in the rookie draft. Good form with Subiaco in 2005 led to his elevation to the senior list when both Robert Haddrill and his replacement Michael Warren were placed on the long term injury list. His debut was notable in that he became only the 3rd Fremantle player to kick 3 goals on debut (along with Leigh Wardell-Johnson and Paul Medhurst), and those goals helped Fremantle to record their first ever win at Skilled Stadium in Geelong. His continued good form in the second half of the 2005 season including 4 goals against Carlton at the MCG saw Ryan elevated to the senior list for the 2006 season. Early in the 2006 season, Ryan got a heavy blow to the face, and received broken cheekbone.
