The Rory Sloane Thread

Featured Replies

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.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
