Opinion The Definitive Foley vs Valente Thread

[Dark Sharks]

We picked Bailey, and that's all that matters. Who cares about the other two nerds.

 

[jedi mind tricks]

Imagine if they both end up very serviceable players?

Both clubs come out winners. Imagine that

We had Valente all ours overnight on Thursday if we wanted him, and traded down to get another 2nd. Then we had a chance at 28 to pick him and passed, and again at 31 and passed.

Its a pretty fair assumption to say we weren't even interested

I like that idea. Thing is, your club could never be a winner though.

yeah I like that.
Apart from fyfe we have no inside mids where as you guys need a bit more of an explosive midfield so its a win win.
Stop trying to bring freo buzz down we're stoked we got him.

Just like yourself so you hold on to the confort of supporting WC tl know how it feels.

I posted on here to say I rate both players highly. No need to be a campaigner.

I cant get over us getting bailey.

Hes going to be the steal of the draft

Williams will be a heaps better mid than Valente, no question about it.

Adelaide traded down when he was available and then passed on him again at 27ish. Says how much they rated him.

Also after we took Foley, the Freo recruiting room looked a bit glum so i'm pretty sure he was their preferred next pick.

Really no one wanted Valente except Fremantle: Enough said.
Adeaide and Port passed on him multiple times and he played under their noses over a number of seasons.
Seems he was only popular as an early pick by the Mock Draft fraternity.

Hmmm a South Australian midfielder who was passed on multiple times by Adelaide and Port.... Kind of sounds like a certain 2x best and fairest, 3 time Ross Glendinning medallist who just snagged us Jesse Hogan in a trade

I hope he works out for you, I really do

Lol I don't really tho psyche!

So am I getting this right? Foley is clearly the better player, although champion data had Valente as the 10th best player in the draft (not bad for a plodder), and someone like Twomey didnt have Foley being picked in the top 30, but he had Valente at 21?

The only voice that matters when it comes to the draft.

How about Knightmare then? Had Valente at 22, and Foley at 34.. I’m not saying they are right, it’s just interesting how you all know better than the blokes who do this for a living. Peter Bell said we couldn’t push the button quick enough when Valente was still on the board. Going to be fascinating to watch. We have a good record with later picks. Not at all with early ones.

The endless freo talk has started earlier than usual

Obviously most of us are a bit perplexed as to why we and everyone else passed on Valente but we have Foley now so have to get behind him, he sounds pretty good really and hopefully will be a gun for us in future... like Valente no doubt will be for your lot

Yes that's why he left..So you could snag hogan. How considerate of him

Nothing to do with Freo's putrid culture and woeful captain and coach

 

[Godfather32]

If we stole Foley from Freo, then he's definitely worth it...

Absolutely, this is now my favourite pick from the draft

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Why are we attracting irrelevance onto our board?

Yea our putrid culture can't believe we lost so many players this trade period!!! Losing Hill to Brisbane and Cerra to a victorian team was so devastating.... not like we attracted 4 players whilst losing one to big money

Interesting Logic. Both our clubs have missed some ripping WA talent over the journey.

Who is Fremantle and why are we talking about her?
