Valente spoke very well on Fox .....hard to believe we got him, I thought he was an outside chance for our first pick.

That interview was so delayed that I didn't realise that it was Valente and thought they'd gave some poor bloke the wrong guernsey and said hes going to Freo!
 
Luke Valente just interviewed by Fox Footy, seems a great young lad, good head on his shoulders and can’t wait to get here.

Bit of Brayshaw about him ....I think we'll see him extend quickly.

Yep, it was a good interview.

The thing about Valente is the in a very strong year for SA junior footy, he was the captain. Not Lukosius, Rankine, Rozee who are all obviously super-talented. Points to him being a strong off-field contributor.
 
Disappointed about missing out on Parker. The limited times I have seen him play he just looks like a footballer. Considering he has never been in an elite program he could well have a lot of upside.

Okay, we're second-up in the 3rd round.

These players are left from my top 50 pre-draft:

34. Sydney Stack
39. Toby Bedford*
40. Fraser Turner
42. Tom McKenzie
45. Boyd Woodcock
47. Noah Gown
49. Josh Kemp
50. Damon Greaves

Stack obviously the one I'd want most, but Turner, Woodcock and Greaves also great options.
 
Obviously there are a lot of AFL-affiliated teams in the VFL which mean there are a lot of fully-professional footballers playing week-in/week-out in that comp.

But if you take the AFL-affiliated players out of it, the results on the board are that WAFL-representative teams are stronger than VFL or SANFL rep teams.

Subi is arguably the 19th ranked club in the country, in terms of sustained performance and off-field strength.
