Valente to ask for trade

Who?

 

[fnerd]

Wouldn’t be surprised in the least.
Thought he was long odds to make it back anyway.

Gee that 2018 trade/draft periods turning out to be a real ball tearer isn’t it?

just need Sturt to be finally declared irreparable and lobb to get his trade request and we’ve pretty much cleaned the whole slate!*

* edit : forgot even shooters a chance to move on this off season

Would he be worth anything?

After 0 games of AFL maybe a Coopers Ale.

Valente to ask for trade

Is this being reported? Who would even trade for him. Has barely been fit since we drafted him. Imagine he’d have to play state league if he requests a trade back to SA

What to Woodvale West Torrens? Players on 0 games after three years don't get traded.

Only if it’s a middi tho

I think the only reason it would be mentioned “a trade” would be because he has a contract.

Agreed tho the blokes worth 3/5 of **** all so I’d say it it more likely we just release him from his contract and send him on his way

Absolutely nothing. Doesn’t want to be at Freo anymore. Wants to head back to SA. Has a year to run, no better time to get him off our books. Win/win for both parties

How is that a win for us? He has so much potential and cost us a pick so we are at a loss. Especially considering the void we have to fill with Cez leaving.

 

[beetz]

He better return Pav’s number.

 

[purplerunsdeep2]

Any truth to this valente talk? Will be filthy - was hoping to see my buddy

Cost us more than a pick

We traded up to get him which moved our other pick down to 57 (Schulz)

Missed a lot of good names from that pick we gave to the Dogs
Vandemeer, Bytel, Ross, Mcinerney, Taylor, Parker, Koschitzke, Hind, Answerth

We then Took Schulz and Bewley 2 picks apart, so we could have likely got one of the above and still got Schulz then not bothering wasting 3 years on Bewley.

 

[fnerd]

Even better we used extra draft capital to trade up to get him too.

Ahh the joys of being a freo supporter

If he goes, we probably need to take johnson or NWM in the draft. We need to replace Cerra' kicking somehow

We take best mid available at our pick which is Erasmus.

 

[Dockeroo]

Regarding Valente, you can’t replace something that was never there in the first place!

 

[FUS_RO_DAH]

Ahhhh... Valente. Looked about as sure a thing as you could hope for in a draft pick.

Hard-working, tough, skilled midfielder. Captain of the SA team. Good citizen. Handed Pav's #29.

Him not even debuting after 3 years and becoming a cripple with off-field issues (nothing nefarious) is about as Dockery as it gets.

Extra Dockery points for him going to the Crows and becoming a life member

I would prefer that, but soon we will have one elite kick in the side and that wll be Young. Questions on how long Mundy and Walters go on for.

I know a lot in this thread think it’s massively disrespectful, but it’s time to move Walters on. Great servant of the club, but his last 2 years…take what you can get.

I thought he only had one good game this season and that was the one he got injured in. Played wing I think. Hard one.

He will be fine next year as long as he completes a full preseason.

 

[wayToGo_]

Rumour is Walters is training as a defender this off-season so he can join the conversation about which defender we turn into a midfielder.
