44 versus 10

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.

[Chook 15,012]

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.

Damn. Misdeed him.

That hasn't happened before.

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.

And no side-step...

Again this thread uses the logic of retention of a marginal player to justify the retention of another marginal player. Use the good players as the benchmark, not the crap ones.

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

[dazzledavey36 54,387]

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.

Adam Fisher board.

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.)

[Muvver Jones 64]

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.

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.

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,125]

So great that 17 other clubs including 2 built from scratch have jumped at the opportunity to pick him up in that time. Too small and too slow. Excellent VFL player though.

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

One of his Oompa Loompas is complaining...

He wants his legs back!!!!
