The difficulty with the celebrations is that 'good player Sloane' left us seven full seasons ago.
Feels a bit like being asked to do an in game cheer for Tom Lynch. Like, I moved on ages ago.

Also to be fair, Hamish was the Victorian advisor to Rendell back then anyways (I'm pretty sure).To be fair, Rendell deciding to select Aaron Kite over Rory Sloane doesn't exactly reflect well on him, and even if you buy the "the club wanted a taller player" story, he had previously selected Armstrong, Cook and Jacky over him as wellBut hey, nobody else picked him up either that year.
My main memory from Sloane being recruited is the story of him playing on one of the high-ranked small forwards of that year (Yarran?), completely blanketing him, and then refusing to let him leave the ground until he shook his hand.

The goggles did nothing to stop the retina from detaching. This comes from a blow to the head, not a finger in the eye.

Anyone know if Dangerfield is coming to the showdown this thursday, he may as well since he's injured and doesnt have anything better to do

You might consider it if Rory was playing, for a lap of honor I wouldn’t have thought so.
Danger thought he was Rory's best friend. We all know it was Tex. Danger's mirror is his best friend.

At least he did get to taste some premiership glory.
Yeah, I'd definitely have retired too if I were Rory - imagine not being able to see his missus (she's DDG) if his eyesight was permanently damaged.
There were a few posters around here who couldn't understand why he was even bothering. End result is that, and he mentioned this upon retirement, is that his retina is just as likely to detach afyer a routine collision as it is a poke to the eye.

Had a really good prime which was ruined being tagged every second week.
All the best to him been a star for us, super consistent before he regressed and few tougher.

on field we left him to get tagged without the though of helping him out, much the same as danger used to be on his own when he played for us.
Disappointing.

One of my all time favourites. Just tenacity personified and I was so proud of the club getting up for Sloaney one last time.

Reports are Sloane could be replacing Kornes on Footy Classified. Are Nine trying to bore the audience?

A couple of years ago he came across as having almost no personality but he’s seems to have improved.
9 must have a locked-in contract for recurring Adelaide-to-Melbourne flights that needs filling !

Not that I watch any of that rubbish, but having a Crows voice on a program like that wouldn't hurt.
