I call bull crap though

No way. Far to invested in the club

Hasn't his Missus got a media gig back in Victoria?

And what a crows players missus wants..... she normally gets.

She also had a job in Victoria the last time he signed didnt she?

Maybe it's wearing a bit thin now and it hasn't worked as well as they both thought it would.

It would have signed knowing the power players have and that he could request a trade at any time

He's contracted until end of next year. No rush to sign yet.
Sloane and Laird are 2018s Gov and Leaver
Get ready for the ride

Sloane will get offers of $1m plus a year from Vic clubs

Possibly. Gonna be a busy year.

The next 3 off seasons are going to be a ******* knightmare. Buckle in

Lairds going no where and will not go anywhere.

Funny how Sloane has made his decision 48 hours after a GF. What a load of BS lel.

Why wouldnt you trade Sloane now, youll get picks 7 and 8. You keep him 12 months and lose him as a free agent youll get pick 19 for him if you were to win the flag next year. Or if he does the right thing and demands a trade from his new club the best you can hope for is a Dangerfield type deal, pick 10ish and some steak knives

The Sloane one has to be bullshit I reckon. Makes no sense.

Agree I don't think he will go any where

Only thing that could've have happened is he and his partners relationship has now meant they need to be together, I wouldn't think that is overly unrealistic and something that happens in work away relationships often

This happened to me recently I took a job 'away' (within) the state we lasted a very small time away from one another and I was lucky she in her role was able to come to where I am

She still lives here, it's the Victorian version of Postcards and flies over a couple of days a week

That makes even more sense that she would want to move back there

I think the rumour is BS but all clubs should be atleast asking the question. Everyone knows the Crows don't like to shell out the big bucks so there will be some huge offers on the table. Sloane seems pretty loyal though so can't see him leaving

After the players they have lost in recent memory I reckon the Crows would of offered Sloane an extension by now, the fact he hasn't committed beyond 2018 yet officially suggests he might be seriously considering leaving

Why? They have not done that for any others and as much as people mock their ability to maintain players they still continue to develop as good as any club in the land.

Mate, you lock in your best assets.

Free agency is great, but before that time players should be traded without their consent too, as long as their contract requirements are met
