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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
