The Rory Sloane Thread

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,952]

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

Because St Kilda look to be re-building a lot quicker than Melbourne.

While we've spent 8 years in the bottom 4, St Kilda have only spent 2 years down there and look to be on the up as evidenced by their start to the season.

Sloane WILL stay at Adelaide. He loves it over there.

Given that our other early picks were Jack Watts, Sam Blease and James Strauss, the entire draft is starting to look even more of a disaster than the Tom Scully one that succeeded it.

What concerns me is the story I once heard about our dealings with Sloane and his family and certain promises that might have been made at the time which might even rule us out of contention if we wanted him now, some seven years after the fact.

yes indeed. woeful

we keep going after squeaky clean cuts, & keep losing out on MOJO.

I think we need more entrepreneur skills at the club across the floor. our own conservativeness has suffocated us.

the people at the club now seem to know what footy's about, & they don't need to conservative with their wisdom. conservatism is for those who don't know. & can't trust themselves, or others.

I think we turned the corner 2012/13, but off to a rough start, we still did some things right. we started to cleans the list; critical to the changes we've seen so far.

Can't blame him if that's the case. Some might call it petty but at that point it was a dream to play AFL footy and sounds as though we really shafted him... and ourselves. Wouldn't blame him at all if that was a reason for not entertaining our offers (even though different people are in charge now).

yes but that isn't the club, but the people operating it at that time. I hope the Sloane's realise that, & can forgive the Demons colours.

Sloane will stay with Crows. We had our chance.
