All 3 are great options but Sloane has rarely left my M5 spot since SC opened. Whilst the concerns regarding his penchant not to sufficiently deal with a tag are evident he has always been devoid of scores around the 90-110 range and his ceiling will alleviate the concerns associated with his potential poor scores.
With the fixture primarily suiting him out of the Crows premiums he should be able to return to the 105+ range which is a great selection at his price range and could possibly push 110+ if he gets off to a flyer.

So you’re saying they are both great picks? 
What about Sloane vs M.Crouch then?

Crouch's difference to Sloane is that his scoring is dependent on his game (ability to gather 30+) whereas Sloane is dependent on the team's success and both should be great selections but my preference would be R Sloane.

95 average when gathering less than 33 disposals is a bit of a worry that that high of a number is his breakeven (or there abouts) of scoring 100+ pretty much.
The positive, he is an absolute magnet.
Do you personally see no problem in having Sloane and M.Crouch in the same team (with scoring not a worry?) even with Brad Crouch back this year?

Only problem would be in regards to successfully navigating the byes as they share it with the Giants and Blues and I assume teams will have around 4 or more premiums from those 2 sides (eg Cripps, Simpson, Kelly, Whitfield, Coniglio, Williams). Crows were approximately around the 10th-12th highest averaging team for SC points last year and with their assumed resurgence up the ladder I expect them to be one of the highest averaging SC sides. I don't think B Crouch will have much of an impact on their SC scoring.
