Croad finally settled into a position in 2007, playing as a key defender for the entire season. Controversially traded by Hawthorn to Fremantle at the end of the 2001 season, Croad led the Dockers' goalkicking in 2002 but was traded back to the Hawks a year later. Versatile enough to play at both ends of the ground, Croad settled in defence last season, staying closer to goal than ever before and holding down the full-back position as the Hawks marched up the ladder.
