Needs to play in the guts, it's his only position. Too slow and small to be accountable for an opponent anywhere else on the ground. Perfect for GWS and would do very well there I reckon.

Shane Valenti won his second consecutive Liston Trophy for best VFL player last night.

I think we should seriously consider giving him an another chance.

Surprised to see Matthew Bate finished the tally as the runner up.

Only after we give Simon Godfrey another run.

Valenti is a good VFL player...period.

I am not surprised Matthew Bate was up there.

He has also proven to be a good VFL player as well.

I was really surprised when Valenti was delisted by the Dees. I thought he was ok at AFL level when he got the chance.

Your last line should have been ringing alarm bells in terms of the legitimacy of this award in terms of indicating ability transferrable to AFL.

Not quick on his feet but very quick above the shoulders, gutsy and strong. Holds his ground in the clinches.

I would have him in the team way way ahead of #10, as a clearance mid. He gives his all.

Valenti is at his level IMO. Clint Bizkit will disagree.

I, and many others, disagree as well. But there are just as many who are of the view that Valenti was not good enough. Lets not go over old territory again.

Nasher, maybe you can pin one or 2 of the old threads for others to look over.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
