Stats
Bio
Born in Smeaton, Alec Sloan arrived in the VFL as an established star, having already tasted premiership success with Fitzroy in the VFA. Operating primarily across half-back, he was a dashing defender known for his stubborn resistance and ability to break lines with strong, driving runs out of defence. Sloan’s standing in the game is defined by his exceptional leadership during the Maroons' early dominance; he captained the club to back-to-back flags in 1898 and 1899, earning the distinction of being the first skipper to win a VFL Grand Final. A dual-sport elite who was also a champion rower, Sloan remains an immortal figure at Brunswick Street as the captain who helmed the club's first golden era.
