Rory Sloane - Contract Extension

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

You hope Sloane and some other guys sign up. It can create a bit of a groundswell and put pressure on the non-signers to put pen to paper.

In 2009 we had some success in the back half of the season and once a few guys started signing the key signatures followed.

A midfield of Sloane, Dangerfield & Crouch to come in future years is mouth watering ! Could even add to that Lyons, Kerridge ang Sauce as the ruckman.

You forgot to add Brodie Smith to that list.

Also!
This is important, does anyone here have a copy of Adel V Carlton at Ethiad lats year?

Brodie Smith played, he took the ball out of a stoppage and just blitzed everyone with the clearance, he moved like Dal Santo/Pendlebury if anyone can get that piece of footage on youtube I would greatly appreciate it, so will many of the others here.

It will surprise you all, he just hasn't shown his full capabilities yet, it will come together soon however.

 

[boffo]

I felt it too.....he didn't want to talk about the concept of being a one-club player. Did not sound good.

 

[Crows4Eva]

Wouldn't be too worried about Danger, his answers were pretty standard "It'll sort itself out down the track" That's the standard answer really, won't be getting too worried until around finals time and afterwards if he still hasn't resigned.

Yeah that's the feeling i get. He strikes me as the utmost professional when it comes to dealing with media, he'd just be trotting out the "give nothing" response to get the question out the way.

 

[Tarasque36]

Oh no, apparently theres been a hold up to Rorys signature! He was just about to sign when he noticed a rider stating he had to have a romantic evening once a week with a 'stabby'.

Holding out for 2 a week is he? Give the man what he wants.

 

[Wilburwild]

I lost all faith in human nature when Fiscal Phil disappeared. (I always expected Gunston to go at the earliest opportunity)

I refuse to spend emotional capital on Rory, Danger and Tipo until they have signed. The one that would hurt me the most would be Rory.

I actually agree with that! Love Danger and Tippo in the side, but Rory is something else!

IMO he'll be equally as good as the others mentioned .....only 1 1/4 into his career and playing consistently reasonable footy week in week out .......honestly not many players do it this early in their career

He has great speed for a tall
He has already the inside & outside game ....and he's a hunter
He has despite his kicking action and long piercing kick ......the best kind in that it generally has a low trajectory ....great for forwards.

Do not wait to see the final product ......just know he's going to be a beauty

 

[IddyBiddy]

Brilliant news if true, the type of player you can build a club around.

Wouldn't it be such a steal if we could one day say Smith > Polec? Had his first 'bad' game in some time on the weekend, but even then he still showed a cool head and composure in some situation.

Sorry about the hold-up guys, we'll amend the contract soon. Some idiot wrote "week" instead of "day" on the bloody thing, can you imagine?

I would have thought at least hourly! for such a youthful Stabby?

Afraid I'm not quite so youthful these days

Sando interview on afc website.

But Sanderson said to expect some "good signings" in the near future at West Lakes, although he wouldn't reveal exactly who would confirm their loyalty.

"Without jumping the gun, I think you'll see some good signings over the next few weeks," he said.

 

[Huntercrow]

Sheedy said Kurt will be as good as Salmon!!!

If this is what he said then why didn't GWS target Kurt this year instead of Davis last year???

 

[Crow-eater]

Because GWS is not on the Gold Coast. IF Kurt leaves, it'll be to Queensland. I highly doubt he'd go anywhere else.

But then, Mitch Clark wanted to go to Perth...

That is a HUGE wrap if that's what he has said.

I think GWS knew they already were going to get Patton and had Jeremy Cameron. Got a gap stop for basically nothing in O'Haphlin so didn't see the point.

Davis was not averse to living in Blacktown for the right money I don't see destination as a huge barrier to the decision.

Just to clarify - you are still talking about his playing contract right? Not the details of harassment on the restraining order that you tell yourself doesnt exist?

Age.

GWS went for two distinct age ranges - they poached quality young players in the 20-22 range (ie bedded into the system enough to demonstrate a future, young enough for that future to be a long one), and 30+ guys with the experience to hold things together for a year or two before retiring.

They showed a distinct lack of interest in anyone in their mid twenties, which Kurt is at 24. The only outliers to this were O'hAilpin (28, delistee), Giles (24, mature age SANFL recruit) and Mohr (23, mature age VFL recruit), and those guys were all rescue jobs on low contracts rather than big budget stars.

Yeah but a player who can play tall forward/2nd ruck at the level Tippett can are highly sort after since substitute rule was introduced. Sounds like they're probably after Cloke too and if they don't get him their attention and $$$ may turn to courting Tippett. Cameron is very athletic like riewoldt. They could all play up there.

FF D.Smith Tippett Hampton
HF Cameron Patton Hall/midfielder

They have Folau as well but who knows where he'll finish up.

I think Tippett is gonna get a heap of offers from quite a few clubs.

If going back to the Gold Coast wasn't Kurts wish, I have no doubt in the world he would remain a Crow...
