Adelaide star Rory Sloane has proposed a loyalty scheme for footballers who remain one-club players.

The soon-to-be-out-of-contract Crows midfielder said such a scheme, which could come in the form of a post-retirement bonus, could prove the perfect counterbalance to free agency.

Giving his strongest indication yet that he plans to remain at Adelaide, Sloane said: "I'm very comfortable where I sit at this footy club. It's pretty well documented how I feel about the players here.

"They are just so driven by our lack of success and I think we are all driven by that and I want to be a part of that beyond this season."
