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 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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
