The Rory Sloane Thread

Thought id start a thread on something i received today. An old high school friend of mine just started a digital media job at AFL house, sent me an email saying that the word going around strongly is that we along with St Kilda are two clubs pushing really hard for his signature at the end of the year. Roosy and Goodwin are massive fans of him and rate his leadership highly. The signs are that its a possible chance that he might return home as his GF is starting a new job in Melbourne aswell.

The Simon Goodwin factor could be huge in this.

Watch this space.

    probably a more realistic get than Dangers....works fro me........make it so ( whoever )

    Would both Sloane AND Dangerfield leave... ? I'm pretty sure one will go but I don't think the Crows would allow both to leave. With Thompson's impending retirement it would leave a major hole in their midfield.

    But I wouldn't say no mind you, he would be a terrific get for the club.

    Friend of mine at the start of the year said Sloane will be going to St Kilda before ANY of this news came to the surface. I didn't believe him until now.

    Would you swap our first pick (let's say for argument's sake that it's pick 5) for Sloane?

    26 years old at the start of 2016.

    I would.

    In a heartbeat. We have enough kids.

    Definitely

    Adelaide would want more though.

    He is a free agent

    The crows would be spewing if they lost both danger and Rory

    My favourite player along side Fyfe outside melbourne. Would be a dream if we could get Sloane at the Dees

  • Quote

    The Ox just said Sloane to saints and take that to the bank.

    Interesting.

    Erroneous.

    The Crows are also going to have to find enough salary cap room to keep other prospective free agents such as Richard Douglas satisfied, along with star midfielder Rory Sloane, who comes out of contract in 2015 but is one year shy of qualifying for free agency.

  • Quote

    Could have had him for a draft pick years ago, he trained with us and we promised him we'd take him and then didn't last minute (I forget who we went with instead). We are lucky he is even taking our calls.

    We could have had many top players as draft pics Song but hey what can we do now.

    It still grates me but it's looking better the recruitment that is now thank god.

    Why the F would Sloane want to go to St Kilda?

  • Quote

    Not a Free Agent yet I thought, but falls into it next year (2016). So this would be the year where Adelaide make their call whether they risk losing for standard FA compo next year or get full value this year through a trade. Would love to see aggressive plays made on the trade table. Obviously our first round pick comes into play, then toss in a Toumpas and even then maybe juggle later round picks to favour them? That said, all our trade power means nothing if we as a club simply cannot entice him to want to join in.

    Where is all this Sloane chat coming from by the way? I know there's been this call of saints on SEN this week, but wasn't it just a month or two ago Sloane was writing articles on being a one club player and hoping Danger stays with him in Adelaide etc?

    Because they've got a better young midfield than us....we have the bookends Hogan and TMac, but the Saints showed last week why they are developing nicely. Those decisions to trade/let go McEvoy, Dal Santo and Goddard have paid off.

    Wasn't that Rockliff... ?

    That was our nightmare draft. Watts, Blease and Strauss ahead of names like Hannebery, Beams, Sloane, Motlop... to name a few

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
