No Cripps, we’ll take Charlie Curnow
My mail says he's going to Geelong and you'll get Jordan Murdoch as a straight swap. Bloody good deal if you ask me.
In all seriousness though, I reckon he's basically signed, sealed and delivered at Collingwood. Missus gets a great opportunity to further her media career with Channel 9. Geez the Crows have lost some guns over the years. Imagine if they were all still playing? Probably would have won the last 5 flags.
Expansion clubs, Bad management, circumstances, bad luck or all the above? Wonder if we would have lost a couple of other players to more money if Danger had signed for example.
Collingwood and Geelong would be stupid to spend a million on a midfielder IMO. Lynch (Gold Coast) should be there prime target.
That leaves Essendon as the front runners as i doubt Sloane would want to play for Carlton, North, Saints who won't play finals before he retires.
Sloane, widely admired with good reason, will be 29 at the start of 2019 and isn't what most of us would consider the building block to build a midfield around.
25 year old Sloane, yes, he's the foundation to build around, 29 year old Sloane is the extra piece to a unit that already has some depth but needs some top end grunt.
Essendon would be a good fit, so too Melbourne.
PAFC. Forever.
LOOK OUT, WE'RE COMING!
