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

    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.

    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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
