Rory Sloane (born 17 March 1990) is an Australian rules footballer who currently plays for the Adelaide Crows in the Australian Football League (AFL). Originally from Victoria, Sloane was first part of TAC Cup side Eastern Ranges U/18s side when he was only 16. He went on to captain Eastern Ranges in 2008, and excelled at in-close play and demonstrated an ability to play at either end of the ground. Sloane was drafted by Adelaide with pick number 44 in the 2008 AFL Draft. He debuted in the senior side in Round 20, 2009 with a solid effort against Hawthorn. Adelaide coach Neil Craig said before his debut "He'll be an exciting player for us in the future…our supporters will like Rory Sloane."^[1]

Sloane played his second game in round 1, 2010, but sustained a serious ankle injury during the clash against Fremantle that saw him out of the side for several weeks. Massively overachieved at this year's Brownlow Medal Awards ceremony, though he voted respectably.
