All the best Sloaney. Thanks for all the memories. Most importantly thanks for killing Danger in that prelim.

Thanks for the memories. All the best in retirement, Sloaney.

 

[Apsaalooke]

Great career, great decision. The eyes have it.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

I like many have been frustrated with Sloaney going on too long and the club not having the balls to call it.

But we can’t let it detract from what a phenomenal player he was for us over the years.

In his best years, his gut running and desire / will to just get to the next contest won us so many games.

Thanks Rory, you have been a true star for the AFC.

And watch the crowd numbers be very very full this week

 

[El Doederino]

Warrior. Great club man.

 

[Pugsley]

A lap around the ground would be fitting and fire us up for the Showdown.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Warrior. Great club man.

Perfect one word summary of Sloane.

 

[brucetiki]

One of the club greats. Sad the way it ended but he gave his all for the club, and stuck with the club through thick and thin.

2 x time best and fairest, All Australian and club captain from a bloke taken at pick 44. Had some of the weirdest injuries in his career, but still cracked in every week. One of our greats. Excited to see who he hands the number 9 on to.

Hopefully an A grade midfielder from another team.

One of my favourite footy moments.

Congratulations, thanks for everything. Gave his all for us.

First smart decision someone at the club has made all year.

Well done Sloaney, at his peak in 2016/17 he was a damn good player.

 

[VictorianCrow85]

Right decision for him, at that age what's the point in risking anything long term?

Sloane was a beast of a player, heart & soul of the club for a while too. Thanks for the memories Rory, enjoy retirement.

 

[Rix31]

Congrats on a great career Sloaney. Warrior of the AFC.

 

[StickerMan]

Hopefully an A grade midfielder from another team.

Sad day. Thanks Rory.
Hopefully the club can get it done in the years ahead.

Sounds like he is going back to Victoria by the statement and not coaching with us.

One of those blokes has a premiership though. Not much of a flex.

Logie for Danger.

 

[Samcro24]

Thanks for a nice career.

Absolute waste of a 2024 list spot though.

Short sighted decision to re-sign him for 24.

 

[Bernie L]

Bitter sweet really. He has been super for the club. Sad he goes out like this, but a good decision for him, his family and the club.
Hopefully we get a good pick in the MSD.

 

[FR0GGY]

Congratulations on your career Sloaney all the best in retirement.
You figuratively and literally bled for the club.
Well done

Warrior. Great club man.

Yep, he really put the club first the last couple of years.

All the best Rory, thanks for the memories.

 

[StonesThrow]

Was my favourite player for a number of years. Loved watching him play. Great bloke as well. All the best Sloaney
