Best bump in the history of the Crows. Hope Sloane gets back and give Danger another one!I am still impressed when Sloane played with a mask.

This is the same guy for me that stopped a smug campaigner from potentially claiming a flag back in 2017 when he left us for nothing. Always has my respect.
Get well soon Rory.
Not my field, but if they're quoting 2-4 weeks, I doubt it to be of major concern. Though I would think it's more likely at least a month off, 2 weeks seems to be a bit too hopeful for a significant eye injury.
Closely followed by Ricciuto on Kemp. I think I saw Kemps spirit fly up to heaven before he hit the ground.
Bickley on Wakelin?
The good old days, even if we lost on the field, we settled the score off it.
Massive Crow blow: Rare injury sidelines gun midfielder
Rory Sloane has had surgery on a detached retina and will miss up to a monthwww.afl.com.au
Sloane out for 2-4 weeks after surgery done for a detached retina.
Just when he's getting into some sort of rhythm, another injury setback to Sloaney. In the past few years since 2017, he's had the following:
- appendicitis
- Lisfranc injury
- ankle sprain
- hamstring strain
- concussion
- eye injury requiring surgery
Had to look it up. Broken jaw in 2011, 10 years ago! Also a broken thumb around then too.
I didn’t check injuries in years 2012-2016. So he fractured his jaw/cheek 3 times? Need to check this again, if true, that must be some sort of record for facial fractures on separate occasions.
Sloane still 2-3 weeks... 2 weeks after the initial injury was diagnosed as being 2-3 weeks.
Better to get it right than devalue his value playing injured. Likely both parties agreed on this to ensure a win win for both at season's end.
They said 2-4 weeks when he was first injured 2 weeks ago. They're still looking at 2-3 weeks.
I had a mate who had a very similar (sounds almost identical) eye/detached retina injury recently. Lying on his side without moving except for toilet breaks for a whole week nearly drove him crazy. Once that week is past one can move around cautiously, and then things start to pick up fairly quickly, but one still should not place undue pressure on the body too quickly. I think the time frame they are stating seems about right as I had a fair bit to do with this guy during this time. Within a few weeks he was back to his plumbing business and after a month was digging and carrying on pretty much as usual, but going too quick is dangerous.
