Shane Valenti!!

Is it just me or did this guy look like a ready made AFL player today?

We know he has a great work ethic and has worked his arse off to get to where he is the hard way.

He did some good tackles today, and had good vision.

I know hes small, not the most accurate kick and not the speediest person going around but hes not a bad player

Was very calm today and even though he didnt get a lot of it, when he got the ball he looked very composed and you could not tell it was his first game

thoughts....

(sorry if i missed another recent thread on this)

He was a positive, however i'm not going to get carried away with him. He's been stringing good performances together at Sandy for a good while now but it's taken until now for him to be put on the senior list, s there are obviously question marks over him.

But if he keeps working hard and does the things he did today then he could have a future at the MFC.

One percenters were a feature. Created 2 goals from them. Vision both when delivering into forward fifty AND when in the clinches was great too. For a kid, a sterling effort... Though I don't expect we'll ever see him streaming through the middle a la Hodge/Judd etc etc More of a stop and prop deliverer.

Which is fine too, as long as his kick are accurate.
