Watch his B&F speech, there is absolutely no way he is leaving.

Yep corss this one off this list imo, would be silly to trade a product like sloane for pick 2 imo

Trolling?

How long you been on this site mate 5 minutes?

When you say "just heard" and don't give a specific place or person who said, then it is quite hard to take you seriously.

From a friend who does know someone at the club......is it gospel? No, but this forum is alot of rumour and speculation anyway, it doesnt mean im a Troll as you accused me of.

I wasn't accusing you, I was simply asking.

Ok all good mate.

Just heard we are a big chanceto get him.....he wantsto come home, and Crows want pick two

I have heard this from a reliable source and also from n old team mate that stats in touch.

Was he really their best and fairest or did they do a Scully on him in the hope he'd stay.

I'd happily do pick 2 for Sloane, we'd probably want to get a little more something like their 2nd round pick in exchange for our 3rd or something... dunno.

If it was me and I wanted to post a rumour I'd share the basic content of where it ruminated from the beginning. You know you're going to be asked the "source" so why not volunteer it from the outset ?

Not that it matters, but I have no confidence in your source or the rumour.

At all.

I doubt he will come home, and hes very good player with a big heart, but not worth pick 2

Would another club give up pick 2 for Nathan Jones?

No they wouldnt and we shouldn't do it for Sloane

Adelaide don't have any first or second round picks this year.

Your telling me that best and fairest winners are not worth pick 2?

Not every player draftedin the top 5 is going to be an Ablett or Judd.

Franklin, Roughead, Riewoldt, Pavlich, Cotchin, Thomas, Murphy, Pendlebury, Judd, Hodge, Cooney (injury free), Griffen are all better than Sloane. O'Meara and Crouch would have also been top 5 picks if they weren't part of the mini draft and they'll be better than Sloane. Jesse Hogan would have been....

The stars of the game often come from top 5 draft picks or Father/Son selections.

Potential complicated 4 way club trade to get some of the deals done that have been mentioned in the media?

Melbourne trade out Picks 2 & 18

Adelaide trade out Sloane, McKernan & Pick 40

GWS trade out Adams, Bruce & Pick 51

St Kilda trade out Fisher & Pick 53

Melbourne gain Sloane & Adams

Adelaide gain Picks 2, 51 & 53

GWS gain Fisher, McKernan & Pick 40

St Kilda gain Bruce & Pick 18

Reckon that's close to a win for all. We get two quality mids who are ready to go. Adelaide get back into the draft with Pick 2 and having their 3rd pick before where their current 2nd pick would otherwise come. GWS get a key defender, a forward/ruck and an upgrade of Pick 51 to 40 for the loss of two promising young players and St Kilda get a young key defender and an uprade from Pick 53 to 18 for the loss of Fisher?

Is it known he wants to come home to Vic and leave the Crows (not just rumor)? I thought the Crows would only trade if they could get pick 1 (Boyd)

I highly doubt we could get Sloan unless he nominates us as a club he wants to come to - which lets be honest is unlikely

Getting Sloane would be bigger then getting Roos IMO it would be massive and I don't see it happening

His speech when winning the B+F was about being a one club player. Links are above.

If this is a typical example of possible player defections on this board, then I assume we wont be trading.

A 2nd round pick that they don't have this year...

Would love to get Sloane on the list but somewhere between him actually wanting to come here and Adelaide's negotiation methods, I can't see it happening.

Sloane is one player, whereas Roos is about to re-structure our whole football department, amongst other things.

Not saying Rory wouldn't be a good get and obviously the Crows are keen to get another Crouch amongst their ranks.

Just heard him interviewed on Fox at the Brownlow.

Seemed very committed to the Crows.

Pity really - would love to see him in the red and the blue.

And Col is not looking good. We can't afford to lose him at this stage. We will not be adequately compensated for his departure. (not that the AFL cares)

Not looking to start an argument Ox but I don't think I clarified my point properly

Clubs like the MFC don't have B&F winners from strong clubs come to them - Sloane leaving the Crows to come to MFC doesn't happen in reality., That's why I would rate it as a bigger event then the Roos signing - Roos was donated to us form the AFL due to our own clubs stupidity.

Sloane leaving the Crows to come to the MFC makes no sense - 1 player or not it would be a massive coup for the Dees.... I'd love Sloane at the Dees, don't see it happening though....

Sloane may indeed be a B&F winner and may indeed talk about being a one club player but that shouldn't and won't discount him from Adelaides long term plans and list management. If they see pick 2 as getting a player from the draft that will add value to their team then Rory just might be the sacrificial lamb.
