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

lol

Which bit do you find funny the fact his team mates don't help him out or that he is looking like being another Zaharakis ?

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

The problem you face, is that for every 66 he scores, you need him to smash out a 174 to keep a 120 average

I have him and love it when he punches out monster scores but honestly I think that is a fair description of someone who can't break a tag and only has an impact when left alone , like I said it is up to him because his team mates don't help him what would be your description of him or players like that ?

I agree with the term but would qualify it with 'good'

A downhill skier is someone who only plays well when the team is playing well.

The team played well on Friday, the team played well round one and both times Sloane didn't score well. The games against North Melbourne and Geelong were the two worse team performances this year, the whole team played like trash except maybe one or two players, not just Sloane. Even the great Patrick Dangerfield got shut out of the game by Bernie Vince a few years back, and the team played like shower against Melbourne as well.

The fact that he is struggling with the tag, doesn't make him a 'downhill skier', it just means he is struggling with a tag.

I hope you started him and didn't bring him when he was averaging 120 because he was never going to keep that up, if you did trade him in, that's your fault then.

Sloane is not a downhill skier, period

Yes he struggles with a tag, but that is nowhere near the definition of downhill skier

Mark LeCras is a downhill skier

Yeah, silly comment. Worked his backside off despite the attention. Might not be SC relevant under these circumstances but always puts in.

Expect Crows to start putting some attention into his taggers.  Look what happened to Swans when they were accused of not protecting so maybe Crows will follow suit,

Agree with all of these. Was still busting his ass the other night, that smother he made late in the game was a perfect example.

[King_Robbo]

No way is he a downhill skier but people (his owners mainly) are in denial if they think he will score 115-120 for the rest of the year. He folds under a heavy tag and as I've mentioned before, this is now the blueprint to beating the Crows. I can't see why teams wouldn't put heavy attention on Sloane for the rest of the year and hence, his SC scores will suffer. He could only go 100-105 from here

Fair enough but he needs to learn somehow to break a tag for his own career and I have had him since Gawn went down so I have enjoyed all his good scores bar one I think guess I'm just pissed a bit because I seem to get one player each year that this happens to  ;)

89 + 66 + 80 = 235 / 3  78.3 avg since I began tracking his scores. Not one ton and well over 100 points below expectation.

Looks to have a date with Curnow, Vince and Greenwood over the next 5 weeks so I think you definitely made the right call.
