The Adelaide Crows paid huge respect to club great Rory Sloane in Thursday night’s 30-point win over the Power, with a teammate reduced to tears over the midfielder’s forced retirement.
Crows key forward Taylor Walker has been reduced to tears discussing the forced retirement of his great mate Rory Sloane .
The former skipper did a lap of honour pre-game at Adelaide Oval and the Crows then farewelled him in style, getting in front early in the first quarter and staying there the rest of the game in a comfortable 12.6 to 5.18 victory over Port Adelaide in the Showdown. “So to not be able to play with him again, it’s tough, but I think he’s made the right decision for life after footy.
“I have given it my all to get back to playing and generally speaking my body is in great shape, but ultimately, the risk of another eye injury is too great,” he said announcing his decision.“I’ve come to realise this is definitely not like the more common injuries you can get from playing the game.”
