Debut: v Hawthorn, Round 20, 2009
Recruited from: Eastern Ranges
Brownlow Votes: 15

Sloane was included in the Crows’ leadership in 2012, and relished under the added responsibility. The popular young Crow emerged as one of the most-improved players in the competition, playing 24 matches and averaging 22 possessions. He stood up in several big games, earning three Brownlow Medal votes in gutsy wins over Sydney and Fremantle, and also Greater Western Sydney. Sloane’s running goal against GWS in Round Four was a finalist in the AFL Goal of the Year.

Season by Season

Season by Season

The popular midfielder was a rare bright spot for Adelaide in a difficult season. Sloane missed a month after playing out the Crows’ stirring round one win over Hawthorn with a fractured jaw and thumb, but returned to play the last 18 games. The hard-nosed onballer averaged 20 disposals and five tackles, with his best performance coming against Geelong in round 21, where he amassed 36 possessions, 10 marks, seven inside50ms and earned three Brownlow votes. At only 21 years of age, Sloane has been included in the Club’s senior leadership group for 2012.
