The team\u2019s playing some good footy, I feel like I\u2019m still contributing the way I need to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll wait and see how that unfolds in the back half of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of his milestone game, Thommo was full of praise for prized teammate Rory Slone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s playing some outstanding footy at the moment,\u201d Thompson said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInternally we always knew what Sloaney was capable of producing. He\u2019s been an extremely consistent player for a period of time now and he has taken it to another level this year. The fact that he\u2019s doing it consistently every week at that level now, one, it\u2019s fantastic for the group, but even for his own performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thommo said Sloane was an important leader at the club.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[He\u2019s] held with really high regard within the club. He drags others along with him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSloaney spends most of his minutes through the midfield and he drags blokes along like the Crouch boys and Jarryd Lyons and those guys that have rolled through there, Rory Atkins, he\u2019s been really positive for their development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re getting even contribution and weight of numbers through that area. The really pleasing thing is we\u2019re not relying on one bloke. We\u2019re not relying on him to do it every week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven contribution is what\u2019s going to take us to the next level,\u201d Thompson said.<\/p>\n<h3>MOST POPULAR RIGHT NOW<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cms.fiveaa.com.au\/news\/sa-man-killed-by-falling-tree\"><strong>SA MAN KILLED BY FALLING&nbsp;TREE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cms.fiveaa.com.au\/shows\/rowey-bicks\/daniel-talia-s-post-game-confession\"><strong>DANIEL TALIA\u2019S POST-GAME CONFESSION<\/strong><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the eve of his 300th game, Adelaide Crows midfielder Scott Thompson says the team is well positioned to break its streak of lost preliminary finals.
