Adelaide vice-captain Rory Sloane says he’s still considering his long-term AFL future.
Sloane, who falls off-contract with the Crows at the season’s end, is understood to be a target of several clubs in his native Victoria.
“I haven’t made a decision yet,” Sloane told Triple M radio on Wednesday.
“It’s just me thinking about .. everything that comes with making a contractual decision.
“And this could very well be one of the last contracts I sign so there’s a bit to think about, absolutely.”
The dual Adelaide club champion said he had been in talks with Crows hierarchy.
“The club is very aware of where I’m at, I have been chatting to them,” he said.
“There is other stuff to consider and there’s a person away from football as well, there’s a Rory Sloane away from football that I also do think about.
“… It’s not just a simple process to tick off.”
Sloane said it was difficult to publicly talk about his contract status.
“It’s always tricky to speak about because no matter what you say … people always take things out of context and it always gets skewed a different way,” he said.
“You can report on, yes, I’m thinking through my contract – absolutely, of course I would be.
“Unless it’s a yes or no – people want to hear yes or no, that is the only thing everyone wants to hear
“This is where it’s at: I’m thinking through everything at the moment.”
