Rory Sloane is set to kick off 2020 in style, with the courageous midfielder just one game shy of joining the 200-game club.
With Adelaide hosting Sydney in Round One at Adelaide Oval, Crows fans will be able to join a week of celebration for Sloane who will turn 30 four days before the season opener.
His 2019 co-captain Taylor Walker currently sits 11 games away from reaching 200 games.
Heart and soul. And we'll be seeing plenty more of this from Sloaney over the next 🖐 years! 😄😄 #weflyasone pic.twitter.com/nQr7KgFez3

Reaching the double ton isn’t the only milestone on the cards for Walker as the key forward sits just 15 goals away from becoming Adelaide’s leading goalkicker of all time.
After booting his 400th goal in Round 11 last year, his 426 goal tally is behind only Tony Modra’s 440, putting a new record firmly in his sights.
