With Murphy and Kearne signing on I almost don't see how we can offer him anything at this stage. We need list spots to play with over the next few months.
We have three really good picks in the draft which we might combine but no gurantees.
Four games is a long time. I hope he goes out with a high at the end of 2023 but if not then he will have to wait.
Even Roo acknowledged that he had a good start to the year, but his form in recent weeks had dropped off. Canāt remember if Nicks has said anything directly about it.

Where the fxxk does this āgood start to the yearā come from though?..
he played some good to very good quarters of football (mainly in the last quarter when all the opposition had slowed) here and there at the start of the year
rest of the time he was a liability that had to be carried by the rest of the team.
Roo is dreaming if he thinks Rory played any good full 4 quarter games of footy earlier on in the season.
the lad is cooked.. he needs to accept his fate and retire.. but his selfishness sees him want another year so he can cash in further. Heās already ripped us off blind for the last 5 fxxkn years..
heās gone nowhere near justifying being payed $850 a year in those last 5 seasons.. been little more than expensive list clogger. Although I will add he had several unfortunate injuries in those years.. eye, lisfranc, ACL, hand injury etc.
Time to cut the fxxkn cord.

"What he has delivered this year has been absolutely unbelievable. To do his ACL last year, go through rehab and throw himself in, he has just been such a role model for our group," Silvers told AFL.com.au.
So this is what "absolutely unbelievable" looks like. I must be wrong, I thought I was looking at cooked and struggling, silly me, I need to recalibrate!

No wonder heās plowing on when all around him are pumping up his performances this year.

Yep as soon as I read that I thought āwow thatās locked it inā canāt delist him now would be a bad look after that glowing interview - imagine the ferals rehashing that. Sloane running around taking midfield minutes off of the youngsters for at least another yearā¦

Thatās what Iām thinking, throw that in with the vibe Sloane gave across yesterday and Iām not so sure itās a given.
Selection tonight is going to be a massive sign. If heās sub again then maybe we are sending a message to Sloane to make the decision. The only way I can see him coming into the team would be in place of Pedlar or Murphy, but doing that ahead of a fresh Rachelle would be madness and hard to justify.
I'm really hoping Rory can look at the Wright role in the sanfl.
He is still involved in a playing role with the club.
It feels like a win win
Has Collective Mind been back at the club or has John Olsen got his old political spin doctors into the club?
Thereās some weird semi delusional gobbledygook thatās coming from the higher ups at the club lately, every answer no matter what the question is just; āeverythingās great and everybody has just been performing brilliantlyā
Youād hope behind closed doors thereās not just the simple talk from someone like Silvers who is on list management āoh heās coming back from a knee thatās tough so his performances are actually unbelievable so he deserves a new deal at 34ā

I agree with almost all posters on here with their viewpoints, Sloane should go, no issues about that from me.
I just find it kinda sad that many posters on here (and I am one of them) thats angry/disappointed/frustrated at him/Club for him likely being in our side next year in 2024 and probably in the midfield at the detriment of a young kid.
Furthermore if this decision costs us Mrouch, it will jack me off. At the end of the day the decision to keep Sloane or Mrouch is a no brainer. Its Mrouch all day, every day, 7 days a week, then daylight.
I loved Sloaney for years especially more so as he is Victorian and resisted offers to return home, but its just awful when a player reaches a stage where supporters then turn on him/Club for staying too long.

Hand over the captaincy? It was taken from him and given to Dawson, who has been excellent as captain.
Heās on record saying he wanted to keep it.

He's on the record saying he wants to play on too. It remains to be seen if the club does the same thing here as they did with the Captaincy.
He's holding out for a 3 year deal?
What I would love is for Rory to retire from AFL but sign on as a development coach and captain of the SANFL side, I think AFL has gone past him but still has a lot to offer a developing side like we have.
