Rory Sloane

My prediction now looking very solid in a game where I expected him to go large.

89 + 66 = 175 / 2 = 77.5 avg since I began tracking his scores.

Currently 55 points behind my apparent 'conservative' prediction of a 115 avg.

Feel for those that paid 600k+ for him. Should be very cheap in a couple of weeks.

Don't feel sorry at all, smile and wave at their sorry a$$e$

Since the Melbourne game when I foolishly bought him in, he has cost me 3 league games as all 3 of my opponents havnt had him.
Ironically the game he went 170 I played someone who had him VC!

It's a cruel game! He is becoming a liability now when he gets tagged and opposition coaches will now go to any lengths to put on a hard tag!

Every sane coach tried their best to talk them out of it. 20% of Sloane's owners paid $675k for him and have had an average of 100.1 since. Don't buy premiums at their top price.

Sloane was going to be my last midfield upgrade (s.selwood m8 atm). With the lack of his ability to break tags lately I think I'm going to look elsewhere, even thou he is going to be cheap.

nah the break will do him good too and still easily top 8 mid even if has the occasional poor score

Sloane was never going to maintain 120ish and his history shows that

I think 110-115 is his sweet spot which is still great, but he was always going to come down and anyone who paid over 600k paid overs, but we all do it from time to time

I never really considered him personally, but that was mostly due to his price either being too high, or his bye no good when price was decent. Have faith if you have him, but geez his team mates need to give him a hand because he clearly struggles with the attention

I'm more than happy to go up against Sloane this year. I think most bought him in at a high price and after he had big scores so on points and dollars they're far behind.
I'll back teams to continue to lock down on him as it clearly shows when he has a poor game, Adelaide tend to struggle.

Did not struggle last night. So jury probably still out on that one,

No just needed, enough sample size. When he's been tagged out of a game they don't look the same team. Eg Melbourne, Geelong, North
St Kilda shut him out of the game but they just weren't good enough across the ground to take advantage.
The blueprint to beating the crows is set and I can't see why teams would stop tagging him

[PowerBug]

He's averaged 117.2 since being in my side, but it looks like he'll drop below the $591k I paid for him in Round 3. Hopefully the bye freshens him up and he comes up and smashes the next 3 against Hawthorn, Carlton and WB.

He struggled against the Giants in round one and I don't think that mattered too much tbh. Obviously shutting him out goes a long way to beating us but we are not a one man team, I thought that was pretty clear.

[shaker]

Crows don't really try to help him out much it is up to him to sort it out otherwise he will get a reputation of being a downhill skier and I don't think he would like that

[dylanclements]

My prediction now looking very solid

Evidence slowly mounting against me...

But still gonna keep my neck out and get it here for the record - I'm still expecting Sloane to shred the rest of the year and believe still in 120+, including those two scores you mentioned. Use this against me later if it's wrong, haha  ;D
