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.

  • 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.
