He has been quoted as saying he won't give it up, will need to be delisted.

Nicks is the least successful crows coach in its history. He lost his first 13 as a coach and Won the clubs first wooden spoon.


Silvers stated in February the crows were going to play finals this season.

2 months later he is blaming the list.

Silvers now saying Nicks is safe and the man to lead the crows to their next Premiership

History tells us what those statements usually mean

Not necessarily a bad thing, has a passion to play for the club. No doubt when the time comes it will be communicated as a retirement, but behind closed doors it will be the club telling him his time is up, not the other way around.

When you're on the sort of coin that these blokes are on, there's no shame in milking the most you can out of it. I suspect most of us would do the same thing.

I suspect the club will pay him to the end the year even if he does retire mid season

[MW]

Sloaney has officially retired.

[Booney]

Easy bloke to admire and a shame he's having to call it a day because of injury and not in his terms.

[MW]

could not believe it was his 6th eye injury... surprised he went around again after the 5th time.

[amber_fluid]

Every team would love a Sloane on their side.
As courageous as they come!

Good on him for making the best decision for himself and his family
Surely a coach in waiting………..

[Wedgie]

Awesome player and seems similar bloke.
I remember when he first played for North Adelaide under the old mini draft and even as a kid he was going in harder for North than seasoned North players, earnt our admiration immediately and we knew he was a gun there and then.

Sloaney has officially retired.

This really saddens me, he was my dads favourite player and I had the utmost admiration since dads passing, every time I hear his name I think of the old man, every time I see him do something brilliant I can visualise my dads smile.

Footy is deeper than your own colours, the game has been better for having Sloane in it.

I hope he has a big future in whatever he takes on next.

[woodublieve12]

One of my fave crows of all time. Champion. Sad he didn't get to go on his own terms

[tigerpie]

Every club would love a Rory.
Could do it all.
My lasting memory was bashing into Dangerfield his first game for the cats against Adelaide.
He showed his true professionalism in that instance. Best mates but I'm going to take you out kinda attitude.
And it was a car crash collision that both got up from. No idea how,it was brutal.
Loyal, courageous and skillful. Enjoy retirement Sloaney.

[locky801]

Great player and club man, has made the right decision

Hopefully there is some sort of send off arranged for this weeks showdown

[Dutchy]

[whufc]

Sloaney....universally loved.

The kind of player you feel would have succeeded in any era of football but felt like more of a 90's style player which was always great to watch.

[tigerpie]

Reminded me a lot of Chris McDermott .....with a better head.

[locky801]

Fantastic press conference as well, last 2 minutes real tear up stuff

[dedja]

Obviously couldn’t see a path forward.
