Isn’t that why Phil overlooked danger and Rory for captain

You should hear him commentating our games. You can easily see how we ended up wooden spooners under his influence. It's all get Rory in the guts, go harderer for longerer, this loss is a learning experience
It's a really bad look. I'll admit I've often thought some of the criticism of Sloane was over the top but I'm starting to come around to the narrative that this guy is only in it for himself and doesn't give a shit about what's best for the club.

I mentioned before I understand the competitive nature that produces this thinking - but to say it out loud???

Is this a recent quote or one from earlier in the year?

He can stay on in the Matty Wright role if he wants to help the club and keep playing in some capacity. Otherwise it's a "thank you for your service and here's a lap around Adelaide Oval in the back of a HiLux" time.

Pretty sure it was from his interview yesterday. Rowe asks him this question every week expecting a different answer.

I don't think he's all that selfish, I think he's just super basic.
Are Rory and k Cornes still business partners?

Suuuurely not. How tone deaf can someone be.
I honestly had the hope he wouldn't be like this and could read the room after correctly giving up the captaincy to Dawson.

In which case, if we had the courage to force that change, surely we have the courage to force the other?

What Rory wants is irrelevant. I'm not blaming him if he gets another year, I'm 100% blaming the weak club for not making the call.
This narrative that players get decide if they get to play or or be captain is absurd.

I'm not sure Tim would survive a barrage of knitting needles
Understand the point you make but one is putting Baby in the corner - the other is putting Baby in the bin. One is difficult but necessary and the last is a minefield

I shouldn’t laugh, but that conjured up such a funny vision!
I'm OK with another year for him as long as we are clear that he's not getting full game time, (spending a number of games in the SANFL), and less CBA's if he is selected in the AFL side to ensure we promote our younger players first. He becomes a mentor of sorts, but not a best 22 for every week (as he shouldn't be now). We've already seen the merits of throwing some of these kids to the wolves (more by accident than design), e.g. Nankervis last week, Michalanney (from week 1), and how Worrell has progressed this year. We have to start placing trust in these kids. The same applies to Smith and even Tex to a degree.

'' I dont care I will claw my way to a spot in the starting 22 , I will use my senior influence to tell a scared 5 game rookie to GTFO out of the centre square and call that senior experience required''
That's one thing that makes me think we've told Rory we're not re-signing him, or at least waiting until the season is over.
He's still being very vocal about wanting a deal next year in a way Tex wasn't this year once he knew his deal was definitely happening. So maybe hoping he puts some pressure on the club, let everyone know I still want to play, if I don't it's the club's fault and hope the barrage of public opinion sways the decision to give him a deal.
Football is his job, so he keeps playing until the club sacks him.
I think that his would be great for the Club if Rory could take over from Matty Wright who has proven to be a great captain in the SANFL. The other alternative could be Matt Crouch who will struggle to get picked up by another AFL club.what are the rules for having retired players in the SANFL side? Either one would have lots to offer our SANFL side.
I've respected your posting over a long period of time, but some of the stuff you've come up with lately astounds me. How could Sloane or any other footballer, senior or other, tell another footballer to get the f out of the midfield if the coach told him to play there? This is on a par with your assertion that Jones early form was a result of senior footballers giving him self-serving instructions and confusing him. Where is the evidence for either of these claims?
