Injury Update: Rory Sloane

Sloane came from the ground after a contest in the final quarter against Richmond

Well that sucks. He’s saying he will be back but realistically it’s unlikely, shocking way to possibly end your career and he did well in his new role yesterday.

 

[whattagun07]

Damn.
Sorry to hear this, but it was feared immediately.

Unfortunately I don't think Rory gets back from here.

Absolute warrior.

 

[Crow-eater]

This sucks.

Recover well, Skip.

 

[jenny61_99]

Sad. Just when we found a possie where he could have an impact.

 

[ContrarianCrow]

FFS. The game we move him into a different spot and he was performing well. All the best in your recovery Sloaney.

 

[Crom14]

Disappointing, club legend and one of our all time greats. If there is a silver lining its that any talks of dropping him a younger player disappear and now we have to give the likes of Harry, Pedlar, Hately etc a crack. Short term it hurts but long term could realise a few players potential.

 

[ams4crows]

Incredibly be sad news, Chin up big fella

 

[Southerntakeover]

I'd fallen out of love with Sloane the player, but would never have wanted this for him.

Thank you for your contribution to our club skipper.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Was having a positive impact yesterday. Such a shame for him.

At least the team really isn't hurt by this.

 

[jackster83]

Very sad way to finish his career if this is it for him. He deserves a proper send off in front of the home fans.

 

[Scorpus]

Deserved a much better end to his career. He's been smashed by injury. ACL, hand injury, foot, eye... shocking luck

 

[FR0GGY]

Bugger, unfortunately he'll know exactly what he's in for, think his sister had 3 ACL's.
All the best in your recovery Rory, i cant see him wanting to finish like this, so i'm sure we'll see him back.

 

[UcantCme]

Incredibly sad for Rory, hate seeing any player with a serious injury.

If there is a positive it does now force the opportunity of transforming the midfield

He'll be back mid next year. Shocking run with injuries late in his career, champion of the club.

 

[Kedford]

My favourite player outside the Tiges by a long way, hope he comes back

 

[Portology]

Very sorry to hear this. One of those players universally respected across the comp. Wishing him a speedy and full recovery.

 

[FD2646]

One of my favourite players outside of Freo. Hope he has a good recovery and gets back out there again next year.

 

[chazwazza]

Sad news, probably career done.

Kinda knew it was last night but sucks it has be confirmed, let see if he can comeback, terrible way to end a career

 

[Soggy2112]

Almost a shame he didn’t get get stretchered off last night, may never get the send off he deserves.

 

[VictorianCrow85]

Any chance at his age he gambles on the LARS method to recover? Shame this happened, looked like he was finally playing a role he can impact in.

Either LARS or retirement.

Any chance at his age he gambles on the LARS method to recover? Shame this happened, looked like he was finally playing a role he can impact in.

LARS isn’t really used anymore, from what I’ve read there’s a high risk of negative long term effects and a low chance of the surgery actually being successful.
