He certainly racked them up. Most saying Sloane was the better player but if you look at the numbers, Danger was the winner.
And there is no way we are better off without him. We'd be closer to 7 & 1 if he was still here IMO.

As a neutral I thought Sloane had the better game on Friday night. and comfortably .. As someone else alluded to earlier (Booney I think), Sloane didn't have a lot of buddies so stood out as a bit of a one man band.

Certainly would have sore shoulders from carrying the rest of the mids from Friday night.

Was awesome for the first 6 rounds of the year, and to be honest we still need him as the crouch boys aren't there yet.

Could see him playing next year too


The guy butchers the ball and never hurt opponents, agree with Booney hope he plays on!

:roll: :roll: He turns 34 next year so i doubt he will go on. Has been a great player and servant. Hopefully we will use his and Dangers money a quality outside midfielder.

Sloane was definitely better than Dangerfield on Friday his possessions had a lot more influence on the game. Some of Dangerfield's possessions were terrible

Pyke has indicated a couple of changes this week (in the midfield). I thought Thommo might be rested but Pyke has said he will play.

Lyons and or Ellis-Yoleman big chances to come in.

I think Douglas is in trouble.

Crouch will be better for the run against GC
Thommo needs a rest
Douglas needs to be dropped and brought back for GWS as we need his pace

So his pace, is only an asset when playing GWS? Or does he run slower in Qld - :roll:
1961, 1971, 1976, 1978, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1991, 2008, 2013, 2014, 2015.... And don't you forget it!
