Remember this little fellow? He cut Casey to peices today. MFC let him go in a heart beat (To slow to small).We kept a pea heart (#10) for way to long. I reckon he would have given way more to the mfcguernsey than CM ever did.

Have to agree with that, we dropped him, never to play again, after he played his best game for us and was probably close to bog.

Such a great player that no one else has picked him up. And CM has been. You must be the only bloke to not know why.

 

Am I the only one who doesn't know who he is?

Is it Shane Valenti? If so, I would have to agree. He kicked 3 goals against the Cats on Olympic Opening Ceremony Night in 2008, and then was promptly delisted. WTF Dean Bailey?

I don't recall him ever snagging three, but I remember the game we pumped Freo and he was great. In fact I think he finished the year off well and then that was it.

Don't quote me for accuracy but I think thats how it went.

Got 2 Brownlow votes. (It is Valenti we are talking about?)

BUT lets not go over this again. Just do a search for him and you'll find massive discussion about him. I and plenty of others rated him highly, plenty here didn't. So be it. Done now.

No big loss in comparison to the bloke we let go at the end of last year - who appears to be once again dominating at AFL level in Moloney.

For the record, I was all for us letting Moloney go and not pursuing Valenti any further than we did.

We probably had more of a need for Valenti at the time, than we do for Moloney this year.

As good as Moloney might look at Brisbane, he gets a lot of clearances and just hacks it on the boot with no direction going forward.

 

I ripping VFL player - Melbourne seem to produce a lot of them.

I too was bewilded in why he was cut.. His second last game for the club he gatherd 30 disposals and kicked a goal. and that was it for him. Would rather him then couch.

I was a bit surprised why we cut him. But given that so many of our other rejects gave been given a second chance at other clubs I am puzzled why no one else has picked him up.


Yet another case of Mad Memory Syndrome: Valenti never kicked three in a match, nor was he promptly delisted after the 2008 Olympics opening ceremony. (Just as Adem Yze did not play a blinder in his first game.)

I take it back then, although I still think Dean Bailey was a coaching moron.

EDIT: Turns out he kicked 2 goals in that round 18 game in 2008 and was kept on for another year.

agree, but he lacked the weapons maybe to go forward?

However it would be interesting to see just how Misson could effect his game style, either around the middle or down back.

... ticker isn't an issue with shano.

Just had a phone call from Willy Wonka....

One of his Oompa Loompas is complaining...

He wants his legs back!!!! :lol:

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
