Won't be part of Melbourne's future unless he can improve his footskills dramatically.

Chopping block.

I don't think it's his actual footskills that are his problem... I think he just lacks that bit of composure...

He is fast, very fast, moves in a very similar way to Chris Judd does. Has that short burst of speed, and strength through the hips...

Where Simon lacks where Judd does not is his composure. It's like his body moves faster than his mind can keep up with, which in turn makes his disposal seem uncertain and rushed all the time.

Lets wait till next year after a pre-season o judge him IMO

 

[Demon 86]

Should we preempt the inevitable and move Daniel Bell's thread here?

 

[Headless]

Just like to quickly apologise for the lack of reports on Robbo, since the Essendon game where all he did was dive, I've been less interested.

I must say though, he's playing some good footy. I still love you deep down, Robbo!

Can anybody tell me where i can find pictures from the 2003 Heritage Round (20) Melbourne game.. Any help would be greatful..

 

[Goobernutty]

16-Disposals, 4-marks, 4-tackles, 3-clearances,

Valenti played in & around the packs all day in an attacking role (three inside 50's), though his contested ball (three) was a little lacking, he was there in support when the ball was knocked out. His speed & his agility were noticeable aspects of his game, he ran all day & got the ball moving from stoppages. He should get a spot next round, unless we have an influx of players returning to the side. There is still room for improvement however.

4/10

 

[Headless]

Should be put on the trade table again at the end of the year. Too many good, young players.

 

[Tulip]

Spoke to him on Facebook earlier, nice bloke

 

[w00dy]

I think that McLean leaving means Valents will get a spot on the list next season...

 

[jelli17]

......and now he's gone.... to the blues , yay for us!

 

[TelkoTheGreat]

[stabler]

He's s**t and in my expert opinion we should trade him to Carlton for pick 11 or so next year.

Do you guys honestly think he should have been delisted? It sounds like he just had a tough year with injury/OP. Is melb just clearing plenty of space for the draft or should he rightfully be gone.

21 games in 4 years, and 1 in 2009 for the competition's worst side.. Never really fixed his kicking either.

He was always going to be there or there-abouts.

 

[demon48]

Anyone else think Brett Ratten wanted him because Brock is really Ratt's illegitimate love-child?

 

[Sharamer]

He had his chances and didnt take them....Simon was never a good decision maker.All the best in the VFL.

 

[Bring-Back-Powell]

Would've sacked Cheney, McNamara or Bartram ahead of Buckley.

Anyway I'm sure they'll clear out one of the above to gain access to pick 34.

kinda harsh but will be interesting to see where he ends up.
