Rory Sloane

[BigPond101]

No energy, no personality, no opinion. Before answering any question you can see the gears in his head turning "How can I answer this in the most weak and pathetic way possible so I don't offend anyone?"

"I see my job as defending the players"

Yeah, because people making 700 grand a year who can't be bothered tacking deserve defending.

Are the Kane Cornes haters happy ? You are everything that's wrong with Australia. I hope when you die you are strapped down and forced to watch Rory Sloane for eternity until your brain is mush.

Baffling choice to essentially replace Cornes. Even wose than when super bland Marc Murphy would fill in

Heard him countless times on local Adelaide radio, so was rather surprised he got a national media gig. A dull listen.

Fantastic player, seems like a genuinely good person. Unfortunately those aren't necessarily the qualities that make a good tv pundit.

The fact you're talking about two 'bland', good looking young-ish men might give you your answer as to why they were hired. Particularly given everything we hear about TV execs continuing to be pretty unreconstructed in how they see their industry and their audience.

Just saw him on ch9 footy show. As soon as I saw him I thought - ch9 you idiots! Sloane is anything but an entertainer. Very boring character. A good man, but just no.. stay in the background.

As for Korn, I'm not a big fan, but he had chemistry with the other guys. They all had a laugh, it was decent.

Joel Selwood, Trent Cotchin and Rory Sloane. Great blokes but dull and vanilla as dull and vanilla can be.

Bless simpleton Sloane. The panelists were talking about the bronx cheers that Ben McKay was copping from the essendon fans when he marked ball, and little ole Rory was thinking they were applauding him and trying to encourage him.

Reckon a lot of Crows supporters knew he was going to be like this in the media

Great clubman, but he ain’t cut out for a media gig, especially SFS

That was embarrassing and awkward.

Sloane is like someone Channel 7 would traditionally hire, not 9.

Couldn't believe it when I heard him not understanding what a Bronx cheer was

It sucks because the SFS was the only footy show I enjoyed and looked forward to watching. I can't watch anything with Sam Mclure or Tom Morris and channel 7 doesn't upload anything to youtube which is the only way I can watch. I know there are some randoms who upload the 7 shows but they seem very inconsistent
