AFL Players Have Ranked Rory Sloane The 9th Best Player In The League

Adelaide Crows star Rory Sloane has come in at number nine in the AFL Player’s top 50 countdown.

Writing for afl.com.au, Nick Bowen and Jennifer Phelan said Sloane was a “Rolls Royce disguised as a trusty ute”.

“The Adelaide vice-captain could attract offers of up to $1 million a season on the free agency market this year. You’d expect nothing less for one of the competition’s best midfielders.

“Despite the recent emergence of the Crouch brothers at West Lakes, Sloane remains Adelaide’s most influential onballer and one of the most reliable performers in the AFL.

“Sloane’s ability to impose himself on games and lift his teammates is rated so highly by his peers that he climbed to ninth in this season’s Players’ Top 50 poll, up from 11th last year.”
